RE: CS>Thyroid Nodules

[Neville]

OK Doug, Thanks for that.
Going on that information it sounds like what we commonly call "Glandular 
Fever", a member of the Herpes family.
If this is so, then one of our daughters used to get swelling thyroid every 
time she caught a cold or flu, She gargled and swallowed some silver with 
remarkable success.  That was a few years ago now and she has never had a 
recurrence of thyroid swelling issue associated with a cold or flu since.
I know there are several forms of Herpes, but the question that has always 
remained in my mind is, if the Herpes associated with Mononucleosis is knocked 
out, would it be possible to get Chicken Pox again?  Seeing as Chicken Pox is 
the bastard child of one form of Herpes?  Likewise when I have treated family 
members for Shingles with silver.  If the Herpes associated with Glandular 
Fever, or Mononucleosis is knocked out, does it knock out all other forms of 
Herpes with it, rendering the person susceptible to Chicken Pox again?
I haven't managed to find any information available in the public domain to 
answer this question?
I ponder over this because silver is non discriminatory when it comes to bugs.  
The staunch Unionist scenario, one out, all out.

Depends on what type you bought.  I am talking about one that has separate
hand holds, or where you can put electrodes on different parts of the body
rather than those ones with two pennies for electrodes.  Otherwise it is
just a square wave oscillator going from 0 to 9 volts, oscillating at
around 30KHz.

I have been working with a hashimoto patient  and I might add a new perspective

My suspicions that thyroiditis was caused by an infection seems to be backed up

"In my clinical experience working with many Hashimoto’s patients I have found 
that the most common underlying cause of Hashimoto’s disease is a chronic 
stealth infection that has been overlooked by both conventional and alternative

disease is the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). EBV is actually a herpes virus that 
most people contract when they are young causing mononucleosis aka “The Kissing

fights it off and your immune system controls it for life just like chicken pox

genetic deficiency in the immune cells (CD8+) that control this virus. The 
virus then reactivates inside the thyroid gland inducing autoimmunity via 
molecular mimicry. As long as the EBV is active, the autoimmunity will persist. 
 I find a significant number of patients with Hashimoto’s disease have 
reactivated EBV which is identified through a simple blood test. I use the 
activity of the EBV as a guide to balancing the immune system and reducing the

Exactly!  A stealth infection is the only thing that makes sense to me on what 
is going on here and may offer some hope of a better treatment/cure program.  
Personally, I would find it an interesting experiment to see if a CS and DMSO 
paint around the thyroid region would help out symptoms any?  Though there may 
be more efficient forms of combating a EBV infection such as electrical

I have been working with a hashimoto patient  and I might add a new perspective 
to this discussion, particularly since this is a silver list, interested in CS 
fighting infections:


My suspicions that thyroiditis was caused by an infection seems to be backed up 
by many online excerpts:
"In my clinical experience working with many Hashimoto’s patients I have found 
that the most common underlying cause of Hashimoto’s disease is a chronic 
stealth infection that has been overlooked by both conventional and alternative 
practitioners. One of the most common infection connections with Hashimoto’s 
disease is the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). EBV is actually a herpes virus that 
most people contract when they are young causing mononucleosis aka “The Kissing 
Disease” which results in swollen lymph nodes and fatigue. Normally, your body 
fights it off and your immune system controls it for life just like chicken pox 
for example. However, people with Hashimoto’s disease have been shown to have a 
genetic deficiency in the immune cells (CD8+) that control this virus. The 
virus then reactivates inside the thyroid gland inducing autoimmunity via 
molecular mimicry. As long as the EBV is active, the autoimmunity will persist. 
 I find a significant number of patients with Hashimoto’s disease have 
reactivated EBV which is identified through a simple blood test. I use the 
activity of the EBV as a guide to balancing the immune system and reducing the 
attack on the thyroid gland."

If hashimoto is indeed an inefection based malady, consider:

"One of the most common causes for decreased resting oxygen utilization is low 
thyroid function. When you treat low oxygen utilization with I.V. ozone therapy 
you improve thyroid function. Everyone with a thyroid condition should be 
getting I.V. ozone therapy. When your thyroid is working well you feel happier.

First, I would like to thank the moderators of this list for their patience
and tolerance in allowing this off-topic discussion of thyroid/hashimoto/iodine.
And you are correct that hashis is an auto-immune disease, that is, the body's
own immune system begins to attack the thyroid gland.

There is much confusion about iodine and thyroid disorders.  For those who want 
further 
information about iodine, and supplementing with iodine and it's relation to 
the thyroid,
this website is a good one with a number of informative articles.
http://jeffreydachmd.com/2014/01/selenium-thyroid-good-news/

And this one...
http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/iodine12345/
There are two Stop The Thyroid Madness books available and Dr. Dach wrote one 
of the 
chapters in the STTM II book.  

This is considered the 'bible' for iodine information and supplementation
http://www.amazon.com/Iodine-Need-Cant-Live-Without/dp/0966088239

Also, one can become a member of an iodine group on FaceBook run by Stephanie B.
... sorry... don't recall her last name off the top of my head.  I think they
have about 5000+ members. Just monitoring this site will be an education in it's
self.  Also the group 'NaturalThyroidHormones' on yahoo.  The very knowledgeable
moderators aren't as versed in iodine supplementation but they are very familiar
with hashis.
Lola

ps.  One can certainly feel worse when first starting iodine supplementation.  
Iodine is a member of a chemical family called halides. Fluoride, bromide and
chloride are also members of this 'family' and occupy the same cell receptors
as iodine.  As iodine starts 'kicking out' and replacing these halides, one can
experience detox.  Taking the co-factors of selenium, magnesium, Vit C and sea
salt helps to open up the detox pathways and eases the transition.  One should
always start off low and slow with iodine, being ready to back off at the first
signs of detox and restarting at a lower dose.

Re: CS>Thyroid Nodules

[polo]

I have been working with a hashimoto patient  and I might add a new perspective 
to this discussion, particularly since this is a silver list, interested in CS 
fighting infections:



My suspicions that thyroiditis was caused by an infection seems to be backed up 
by many online excerpts:

"In my clinical experience working with many Hashimoto’s patients I have found 
that the most common underlying cause of Hashimoto’s disease is a chronic 
stealth infection that has been overlooked by both conventional and alternative 
practitioners. One of the most common infection connections with Hashimoto’s 
disease is the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). EBV is actually a herpes virus that 
most people contract when they are young causing mononucleosis aka “The Kissing 
Disease” which results in swollen lymph nodes and fatigue. Normally, your body 
fights it off and your immune system controls it for life just like chicken pox 
for example. However, people with Hashimoto’s disease have been shown to have a 
genetic deficiency in the immune cells (CD8+) that control this virus. The 
virus then reactivates inside the thyroid gland inducing autoimmunity via 
molecular mimicry. As long as the EBV is active, the autoimmunity will persist. 
 I find a significant number of patients with Hashimoto’s disease have 
reactivated EBV which is identified through a simple blood test. I use the 
activity of the EBV as a guide to balancing the immune system and reducing the 
attack on the thyroid gland."

from:

http://hypothyroidmom.com/hashimotos-disease-the-infection-connection/



http://www.thyroidpharmacist.com/blog/infections-and-hashimotos


If hashimoto is indeed an inefection based malady, consider:

http://www.secondnaturecare.com/blog/an-unexpected-bonus-ozone-therapy-second-nature-care


"One of the most common causes for decreased resting oxygen utilization is low 
thyroid function. When you treat low oxygen utilization with I.V. ozone therapy 
you improve thyroid function. Everyone with a thyroid condition should be 
getting I.V. ozone therapy. When your thyroid is working well you feel happier. 
 

After one I.V. ozone with ozone inhalation treatment for a raging Epstein-Barr 
infection last Saturday the patient called me on Sunday to report that she is 
98% better. I told her that she needed to continue treatment and we'll recheck 
her chronic active infection titers after 10 treatments.  I don't just want to 
roll her disease back; I want to erradicate it."

Hi, Patricia.  No, iodine will not replace thyroid extract or synthetic thyroid
meds if you need them.  I do think (just my opinion) that someone who is barely
hypo (underactive thyroid), can perhaps avoid having to take thyroid meds or can
avoid becoming more hypo by optimizing the health of their thyroid.  Selenium is
also good (along with cofactors of Vit C and magnesium and sea salt) when taking
iodine.

If you have been taking iodine for 4 yrs now, then you have gotten past all the
detox that iodine supplementation can sometimes bring on from ingested 
fluorides,
bromines and chlorides.  That is good. You may not think that the iodine is 
doing
anything but it is.

I am totally inexperienced with thyroid nodules, goiters, etc. since I have 
never
had those problems.  If your thyroid isn't performing optimally tho, that could 
well
explain your low immune system.  Thyroid affects and impacts so many things in 
the
body.

You might want to think about joining the yahoo group,'Natural Thyroid
Hormones' on Yahoo.  They cover all the thyroid supplements, not just the NDT
extract and they have very knowledgeable moderators.  They are on hiatus until
Tuesday but I would encourage you to consider joining the group if you aren't
already a member.

Having your doctor run some blood tests on your thyroid (if you haven't run them
already) will be very helpful in seeing what is going on.  The STTM website is
an excellent resource for which tests to run.  The STTM stands for 'Stop The
Thyroid Madness'.  http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/recommended-labwork/

I can't tell it does anything.  I take it because i have low immunity
