Article by Uzo Onukwugha

This infertility treatment article is in response to a woman with secondary infertility, miscarriages with three still biths, low TSH (thyroid stimulating hormones) and normal T4. The tone of this article is conversational.

Please don’t blame your doctors because thyroid problems are difficult to diagnose. And pregnancy is a hidden thyroid stressor. Lack of symptoms or normal tests does not mean lack of problems. There are two main problems here:

1. Underlying systemic low-grade inflammation: You must listen to your whole body because pregnancy put a lot of stress on this little butterfly shaped gland below the Adam’s apple. Once your thyroid malfunctions, you must check your other organs, too.

2. Specific thyroid gland pathology (hidden hyperthyroidism): Silently there may be low grade inflammation of the thyroid. Tests like TSH and T4 may be normal or even low and yet symptoms persist. I will explain why…because that’s your concern.

Hormones are chemical messengers produced by ductless or endocrine glands in the body that is carried through the blood. Hormones are secreted in one organ but exert their effect in another or distant organs or glands.

There are 3 main hormones that are associated with the thyroid.

*TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) secreted by the pituitary gland in the mid-brain; it controls the release or stimulation of…*T4 (tyrosine) which is the major but inactive thyroid hormone. T4 is usually converted to…*T3 (triidothyronine)–the active hormone causing all the trouble and which hardly picked up the the tests. So when T3 is high, hidden and raging, TSH is suppressed (low levels). Yet T4 may be normal or even below normal. This solves your puzzle. Most tests and doctors miss this until it is too late. It is interesting to know that the thyroid gland regulate everything from your temperature, respiration, basal metabolic rate (weight control), pulse/heart rate as well as fertility and libido.

There is what we call specificity and sensitivity of a test. Where you may have false positives and true negatives. Most thyroid function tests are not sensitive enough to pick up T3. Moreover, the body is complex and enzymes are involved in the making, packaging and release of these hormones.I saved the first for last. You must control underlying inflammation. Frequent m/c is found to be and inflammatory response. The uterus is rejecting the fetus after the pregnancy has gone underway. This has happened repeatedly. Systemic enzymes like vitalzym is taken to balance the body long before you get pregant which will make the fetus to progress to term. These proteolytic enzymes also clean out the blood. Life is in the blood. The blood is not just the river of life; it is also the river of litters. Cleaning the blood preserves pregancy.

You should also balance the thyroid with thyroid essentials put together by swanson’s vitamins. It has all the vitamins, minerals, and herbs necessary to balance the thyroid. You must also avoid foods that are called goitrogens that hurt the thyroid and make the hormones to misfire causing hyperthyroidism.

You must balance not only the thyroid and its hormones but your whole body. Control inflammation by alkalizing your food. Eat organic foods to minimize toxins and acidic wastes that create inflammation (the cells are on fire). Detoxify the liver, the colon, and the kidneys because these internal organs work together. Take a baseline multivitamin like vitacost one a day. Please don’t use the one that says “woman’s one a day” or centrum. These commercial, mass produced vitamins are synthetic, and are made of petroleum products that create organophospates which worsen inflammatory reactions.

Fat loss is mandatory here if overweight is involved. By the way 15% of estrogens are metabolized by the thyroid gland. Fat cells worsen the thyroid problems because they produce excess estrogens the release pro-inflammatory cytokines that provoke free radicals and pollute the immune systems. Antibodies powers healing and tissue repair and enzymes drive the train.

Therefore you also need multi-enzyme blend like nattokinase or serrapeptase. These are proteolytic enzymes that eat away women fibrotic diseases.

You must eat whole foods to balance your body, regulate the thyroid, combat inflammation, balance your hormones and mop up free radicals. This is in addition to preparing your body for fertility and getting pregnant naturally.

Histopathology Thyroid–Graves Disease

The only real treatment for thyroid disease, whether hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism or any other condition of thyroid gland, is cleansing of the system and adoption of a rational diet thereafter, combined with adequate rest and relaxation. To begin with, juices of fruits such as orange, apple, pineapple, and grapes may be taken every two or three hours from 8 am to 8 pm for five days. The bowels should be cleaned daily with lukewarm water.After the juice fast, the patient may spend further three days on fruits and milk, taking three meals a day of juicy fruits such as apple, pineapple, grapes, papaya, with a glass of milk, at five hourly intervals. Thereafter, the patient may adopt a well-balanced diet consisting of seeds, nuts and grains, vegetables and fruits.The patient should take plenty of rest and spend a day in bed every week for the first two months of the treatment. More and more exercise should be taken after the symptoms subside.

The appetite of the thyroid patient is usually very large and the weight reduction cannot be prevented for some time. This is because until the heart beat slows down and the tremors stop, there will be incomplete assimilation of good.But as soon as the balance is restored, weight will slowly increase. To help the absorption of food, a narrow waist compress and, later, a neck compress should be worn for five nights a week. As weight increases, the almost constant hunger will gradually disappear, on no account should any stimulants be administered to create an appetite.Certain foods and fluids are extremely injurious for thyroid patients and should be avoided by them. These include white flour products, white sugar, flesh foods, fried or greasy foods, preserves, condiments, tea, coffee and alcohol.No drugs should be taken as they cause irritation in the tissues. Iodine is undoubtedly most helpful in many cases, but it should be introduced in organic form all foods containing iodine should be taken liberally. These are asparagus, cabbage, garlic, onion, oats, pineapple, whole rice, tomatoes, watercress and strawberries.

Great care must be taken never to allow the body to become exhausted and any irritation likely to cause emotional upset should be avoided. The cure of thyroid disease is not a speedy one and there is often a recurrence of symptoms but these should gradually become less pronounced. Strict adherence to diet is essential for complete cure.

Half the daily intake of food should consist of fresh fruits and vegetables and the starch element should be confined to whole wheat products and potatoes. Potatoes are the most valuable form of starch. They should preferably be taken in their jackets. The protein foods should be confined to cheese, peas, beans lentils and nuts. All fresh proteins must be avoided.The diet outlined here should be strictly adhered to for a year and the compresses on neck and waist applied for five consecutive nights in a week for two months and discontinued for one month. Water treatments should be taken to increase skin elimination. Application of sponge to the entire body before retiring and a cold sponge on rising will be very helpful. It is most important that the bowels are kept working efficiently to avoid danger of a toxic condition of the blood arising from that source.All efforts should be made to prevent emotional stress. There may be slight recurrence of this extremely nervous complain for some times, but the attacks will become less severe and of shorter duration as the treatment progresses. And above all, there must be no lessening of the patient’s efforts to help himself because success can only be attained by assiduous efforts.

Selenium is an essential trace mineral that is naturally found in animal protein and vegetables as well as in fish and sea vegetables. Surprisingly one of the biggest sources is the Brazil nut.Selenium occurs naturally in the soil, therefore crops will absorb it and transfer it into a form that the human body can use. The form that is most easily absorbed and stored by the body is L-selenomethionine. This also is the form of the mineral that is used in most clinical trials.Studies have shown scientific evidence that suggests the consumption of selenium may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancers. This is very exciting news and is a major breakthrough for the health benefits of this essential nutrient. Results from a French study done in 2003, showed that people with lower levels of selenium in their blood had a larger thyroid gland. Therefore, it was concluded by this research, that selenium may protect against goiter and thyroid disease.The mineral has an antioxidant function that also shows a reduction in thyroid disease, infertility, arthritis. It neutralizes the effects of the free radical that cause injury to the body promoting onset of disease. It is also know to help the body fight toxins such as mercury. Because of its antioxidant properties it may also be of benefit to diabetics in the delay or even prevention of kidney disease.Some other benefits of this mineral are: helping the skin look younger, helps thyroid hormone metabolism and may even help increase sperm count.Some symptoms of the deficiency of selenium are muscle cramps and heart enlargement.Symptoms of toxicity are loss of hair,nails or teeth, as well as skin inflammation.If you are looking for a health and wellness product that contains selenium please visit my website http://www.fucoidanforhealth.com
