How the Body Works : The Thyroid Gland

[BamBabyBrenda]

When it stops working it will slowly stop working on its own, if it does you'll have to take a yellow pill for the rest of your life.

..."anybody know what it could be"

I am studying nursing and we are looking into the endocrine system. This is what it says about Graves' disease. It results from a tumor of the thyroid gland and an extreme overproduction of thyroxine results in a high basal metabolic rate, heat intolerance, rapid heartbeat, weight loss, nervous or agitated behaviour. Can be treated surgically or chemically, so please see a G.P for diagnosis and treatment. Just thought I would share what I have read.

how does thyroxine increase basal metabolic rate?

[mutadeddeformity83]

i feel like there's something in my throat ,i have kidney stones ,heart palpitations,urinate small amounts,the worst head pressure,veins in the eyes & seeing what looks like micro organisms swimming around in my vision ,im all jacked up and im only 27 ...anybody know what it could be

@mutadeddeformity83 drink some water, eat your greens and see a doctor.

[MsBrendaes]

@mutadeddeformity83 hormones secreted by the adrenal glands ( on top of the kidneys) are responsible to most things that you said, Heart Rate (Up/Down), Blood Pressure (Up/Down), Vasoconstriction (closing of the veins) Vasodilation (dilation of the vein). Maybe your kidney problem causes it? It could also be some abnormality in you endocrine system. Do get it checked with a doctor as most endcorine problems are treatable

@mutadeddeformity83 probably death is coming.

@mutadeddeformity83 Hello, I was wondering what ended ^ being wrong with you?

[SovereignBeing]

Fluoride is the maincause of a thyroid problem. Behind that is the parathyroid which produces vitamin D for your body and you need that to absorb calcium. So, what happens if the thyroid is not functioning well? Then the parathyroid isn’t functioning well and yourbones become brittle and less dense because they don’t absorb calcium and that’s why women develop osteoporosis.

i hate videos where they pronounce everything wrong!

[slannmage]

Just found out I got double the normal TSH levels today over the phone by my GP but don't understand what that means until I go in next week. Got me all worried now cause I love my hair and I hope it'll grow back when I take pills or whatever.

[dionstrezlecki]

check out the iodine supplementation

[Cozorth]

surgery? thats what i did ...they say eat healthy ....i drank a jolt a day and i dont gotta take pills...but i woulda got a heart attack lol so...go milk

[catgumart]

If you want to boost your metabolism, sing or chant for 15 minutes or more a day...singing activate the thyroid so that it will release the hormones that are mentioned at about 0:15

[livingdaylight]

Like Pavarotti?

[catgumart]

well you need to eat healthy food and get exercise also, singing and chanting will give you a little extra...I mean I can say exercise and it will boost your metabolism, and you can say very sarcastically "what like a sumo wrestler" and then I can say yes Sumo wrestlers exercise for hours every day, but they also eat incredibly enormous amounts food also, so can chanting/and singing stimulate thyroid and help boost metabolism? yes, but then you can't eat ten plates of Spaghetti

[StrawPonies]

I have an under-active thyroid!

So I take these crappy pills and then I'm warm and not tired and my period comes :)

[Nyana999]

I've been sick for over 2 years undiagnosed with always an elevated T4, and normal TSH and T3...Cortisol is always high too. I'm going in for an ultrasound to check for a goiter or nodule

[annabananabobaloo]

a lot of people i know who have thyroid issues have had great success with the iodine supplement called Atomodine. you can get it online at caycecures . com

How does the toxic waste byproduct fluoride (derived from aluminum processing and later silt stack scrapping) effect thyroid. Besides causing hyperthyroid. why don't more people know companies used to have to pay for toxic waste removal, .............continued

[Godzooker]

till they found a way to put the poison in water in what they say is small amounts so they can sell it to ignorant or false informed tax payers along with million dollar machines to inject it in every city possible. All they had to do is make a few false statements about teeth. Some people are getting toxic from fluoride clustering in the water.

[Godzooker]

I hear Chlorine is not only scull and cross bones (Not the same as was organized at Yale University but just as evil) tricks your thyroid causing malfunction. Remove it before drinking your water.

[Godzooker]

Ha, Ha, remember you need sodium chloride with added iodine to fool you thyroid. sodium chloride = poison. Look up Himalayan pink Sherpa salt, it's unprocessed, Has 84 minerals your body needs. Regulates ph and blood pressure, do the work, check it out. Not like the poison table salt (sodium chloride. Can you say neuro toxin?

[hash1212]

the thyroid needs iodine for enzyme production.

Iodine isn't fooling anything. NaCl just happens to ionize to Na+ and Cl-. The big problem is that excess Sodium Ions that shoudnt be there. Not really toxic though.

[spanishaustralian]

these criminals could cure thyroid disease they wont even investigate it the root cause of the antibodies that cause it. they only concentrate on treatments they want you to stay sick for ever because thats just business.

[AnatomaniaK]

Thyroids the iodine trappers get really big (increase their nets) when they have less fish in the sea!

[weavelicious]

What are the disadvantages of having a thyroidectomy?

[TripleJ258]

During the procedure you can damage the recurrent laryngeal nerve which runs closely to the trachea; damage to this can cause hoarseness and difficulty swallowing. You can also lose your parathyroid glands which are on either side of the thyroid gland causing hypocalcaemia.

Alternatives to a thyroidectomy are anti-thyroid drugs or radio-iodine.

Hope this helps.
