Autoimmune Thyroid Disorders Often Missed

[Michael Reagan] Dr. David Brownstein, M.D., writes: Autoimmune thyroid disorders include both Hashimoto’s and Graves’ diseases — conditions that cause the body’s immune system to attack the thyroid gland. These illnesses occur eight to 10 times more frequently in women than in men. Women have higher iodine requirements than men. The major reason is that women have more glandular tissue than men, particularly breast tissue. Special: [Dr. Brownstein: Your Tiny Thyroid Causing Big Problems]( When girls’ breasts enlarge during puberty, their iodine requirements markedly increase because iodine helps to maintain the normal architecture of breast tissue. When iodine is deficient, problems such as fibrocystic breast disease and breast cancer can develop. It’s impossible to induce autoimmune thyroid illness in animal studies without two factors present: iodine deficiency and a goitrogen, which is any substance that causes a swelling of the thyroid gland (known as a goiter). Iodine deficiency also disrupts the architecture of the thyroid gland, which can lead to autoimmune thyroid illness. My experience has been clear: Autoimmune thyroid illness is caused by low iodine. Blood tests for thyroid antibodies can confirm this diagnosis. The two most common antibodies are thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and thyroglobulin (Tg). I screen every patient because autoimmune thyroid disorders are so common. The medical literature states the incidence is about 1%-3%. But I believe those numbers are too low. I estimate the incidence of autoimmune thyroid illness is more like 10%-20% of the population, based on my own experience and conversations with hundreds of healthcare professionals about their experiences. The reason the medical literature reports such low numbers is that most doctors don’t check their patients for thyroid antibodies. If you don’t check for something, you won’t see it. Autoimmune thyroid disorders require dietary changes. I have found that gluten- and dairy-free diets are very helpful for lowering the inflammation in the body, which helps overcome autoimmune thyroid disease. In addition, the use of unrefined salt — at least a teaspoon per day — is invaluable for treating autoimmune thyroid disorders. Lastly, supplements such as vitamin C, iodine, and magnesium can help patients overcome this type of illness. My daughters, Hailey and Jessica, were diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid illness at age 12. After following a holistic protocol, they are no longer symptomatic, nor do they test for it. Dr. David Brownstein, M.D., editor of the Natural Way to Health newsletter, is a board-certified family physician and one of the nation’s foremost practitioners of holistic medicine. In addition to his practice, Dr. Brownstein has lectured internationally to physicians and is the author of six very popular books.

It may be small and not look important but it’s one of the most powerful glands in the whole body, secreting hormones that are involved in just about every crucial function that takes place in your body — heart, digestion, brain function, and more! So, it should not surprise you to learn that if this tiny thyroid of yours is just a little off and not working at 100 percent — your whole world could turn upside down! [Thyroid Location] Sadly, I have discovered in my medical practice so many of patients struggle with conditions that are rooted in their thyroid — and they don’t even know it! In fact, many conventional doctors just prescribe tons of prescription drugs that mask and suppress symptoms but never fix the underlying problem of the thyroid. Shockingly, many doctors don’t even bother to test to see if the thyroid is functioning at optimal levels. If you have experienced unusual fatigue, rapid weight gain or loss that you can’t seem to fix, frequent mood swings, sudden hair loss, unusual heart problems, sleepless nights, frequent bathroom visits, even bouts of agitation and you find your hands trembling — all of these problems may be linked to your thyroid. Many of my patients dismiss these symptoms as nothing more than “age-related” problems. “Completely normal for my age,” they will say. And, to top it all off, many of my medical colleagues and even your doctor may have overlooked some vital aspects of your blood results, ranking your thyroid as “normal” when it really isn’t. But they are often wrong! And the longer these signs are ignored, the more intense your health problems will become and worse you will feel. Fortunately, I developed a solution! As a medical doctor, I have observed this happen with my patients for so many years I knew I needed to provide help. Patients come in with signs of thyroid imbalance and they have been to doctor after doctor looking for real relief. About Dr. Brownstein David Brownstein, M.D., is medical director at Michigan’s respected Center for Holistic Medicine. Newsmax reports Dr. Brownstein is one of the top 10 holistic practitioners in America. He also edits the popular newsletter Dr. Brownstein’s Natural Way to Health and has written numerous health books. A board-certified family physician, he focuses on resolving the root causes of disease, not just the symptoms. He specializes in such conditions as thyroid disease, chronic fatigue, arthritis, hormone imbalance, diabetes, and many others. And here is the surprising truth: Many times patients can be cured just by getting simple nutrients they are missing into their body — nutrients that cause no side effects and can radically change the way they feel. After seeing so many cases like this, I decided to take matters into my own hands. So I created a formula containing these simple nutrients that my patients could take to fix their thyroid problems and feel better once and for all. My formula is not something I slapped together in a big rush. It came after years of intense research, and treating thousands of patients. Only then did I join with Medix Select, one of the nation s premier nutraceutical companies, to make an effective product for my patients and people like you. This amazing product is called Actalin®. Well, since my formula Actalin was launched in 2013, Medix has sold more than 350,000 bottles — it’s most popular nutritional supplement. My patients and others have never been happier because they saw their lives turn around! I love hearing their success stories so I asked Medix Select if I could share their testimonials. Here are just a handful of the overwhelming positive responses we have received after consumers tried Actalin for themselves: This has changed my life! I have been taking Actalin for two months. I have a new life. I cannot thank Dr. Brownstein enough. Truly this is the answer to my suffering thus far. I'm telling everyone I know about it. Jimalee R. — Killeen, TX I knew I had a problem with my thyroid when I experienced rapid weight gain, fatigue and just not feeling right. I searched online to see if it could be my thyroid and all the things you mentioned in your testimonial were relevant to me! I ordered a bottle [and] within a very short period of time got back to the way I was when I felt great every morning. My energy returned and my brain was reactivated. I don’t feel the need to sleep during the day and I feel years younger. I love Actalin! It improved my health and my energy level. This definitely was a godsend! Linda R. — Grapevine, TX I ordered Actalin for my wife because her prescription for thyroid was not doing anything for her condition. After three days of use, she is like a new person. Thanks very much. Gerald C. — Bessemer, AL I am a 48-year-old woman who has struggled with issues for more than 20 years. I got on the Big Pharma cycle of drugs and felt even worse. I stopped the meds and have been trying to use natural ways and I have been following Dr. Brownstein for almost a year, and it was his information about iodine deficiency and all the symptoms it causes that led me to try the Actalin. My life has changed. I have more energy now than I did when I was in my 30s. I am actually looking forward to going in for my yearly physical with my doctor! Robin N. — South Lyon, MI I bought this for my wife. She tried it for a few weeks now and she feels much better. Awesome job, Dr. Brownstein! My wife is very happy about it. Joseph A. — Mount Pleasant, SC After taking Actalin, I now feel I have more energy, so that even if I omit my afternoon naps, I can stay up till late to watch my favorite TV programs. Another thing, I now have a stronger immune system. Aurea M. — Brampton, ON I am 84.5 years old and have never had faith in natural healing until now. I have been taking Actalin for just under a month and the change is nothing short of a miracle. My old “get-up-and-go” is back. Thank you SO much. Christine F. — Ontario, Canada I have been taking Actalin for over a year now. Since starting Actalin, I no longer have horrible temperature fluctuations like I used to. When I read the presentation by Medix Select and learned how normal thyroid hormones are also dependent on proper functioning of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, I decided to give Actalin a try. I'm glad I did. Actalin is great. Kim S. — Canada [Get a FREE 30-Day Supply of Actalin to Try It — Click Here Now]( [couple biking] Now You Can Benefit From Actalin! First of all, it’s a new natural breakthrough containing 17 hand-picked ingredients to specifically target your optimal thyroid health, along with your adrenal health and general wellness. [Actalin bottle](Heading the list of ingredients in Actalin, I added 200 mcg of iodine, or 133% of the recommended value, in each daily serving. Iodine is critical for production of adequate thyroid hormones. In fact, you need three iodine molecules to produce the T3 hormone and four iodine molecules to produce the T4 thyroid hormone. T3 and T4 are the two key hormones produced by the thyroid gland — and they are absolutely critical for hundreds of body functions, including your heart, brain, and immune system. Many people think they get enough iodine by adding or eating salty foods. But they are wrong — I have found most of my patients are woefully deprived of iodine! It’s Not Just Iodine So when you take Actalin daily, you’ll help cover your bases when it comes to this crucial nutrient. But that’s not all you’ll find … This advanced thyroid support formula also includes support for your overtaxed adrenal glands, with a proprietary blend that includes adrenal glandular powder. You see, the adrenals are closely associated with your thyroid — especially your energy levels and immune system response. When your adrenal glands are performing at their peak, you’ll be astonished at how wonderful you feel. Many supplements ignore the adrenals and their important function. Not Actalin! And there’s more … My proprietary blend also includes a trio of herbs used for centuries in the Ayurvedic tradition to naturally and gently stimulate the thyroid gland. [ayurvedic herbs]You’ll find these Ayurvedic herbs: - Ashwagandha Root Extract has been used for thousands of years to help gently balance out the body’s endocrine functions and also promote mental clarity and alertness. - Forskohlii Root Extract has been used traditionally to help support thyroid health. - Guggul Gum Resin Extract has been used by Ayurvedic practitioners for thousands of years to support thyroid function. So Actalin includes iodine, adrenal support, and gentle natural balancers for your thyroid. And that’s just the beginning … I also added L-tyrosine, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), and 10 additional vitamins and minerals to support your good thyroid health. My patients say Actalin really works for them. Don’t believe me or them! [Just Try Actalin With Our Free Offer — Go Here for Details]( Among these additional minerals is selenium, and after iodine, it could well be the next most important mineral affecting thyroid function. Selenium is more concentrated in the thyroid gland than in any other organ in the human body, so it plays a crucial role in thyroid function. In Actalin, you’ll also find MSM or methylsulfonylmethane, an organic source of bioavailable sulfur. This sulfur compound provides support to the thyroid. Zinc is also needed to support the conversion of T4 to the more active T3 hormone, so insufficient zinc can prevent your thyroid from making enough active thyroid hormone. Copper and another trace mineral, manganese, help protect your thyroid from free radicals. Sufficient quantities of vitamin D within body cells are required for the thyroid hormone to function properly. Vitamin E is another antioxidant nutrient with a beneficial effect on thyroid function, exerting a protective influence against thyroid cell damage. Vitamin A also helps to balance the correct amount of thyroid hormones. Magnesium is another mineral that helps regulate thyroid function, and is required for conversion of T4 to T3. Niacin and riboflavin are B-complex vitamins that regulate thyroid activity and contribute to the prevention of either an overactive or underactive thyroid. Well, I could go on in much more detail about the benefits to you of all 17 of the targeted hand-picked ingredients in Actalin, but the fact is that you don’t know how it will work unless you try it.
