Your question suggests the solution to your thyroid problem. If you concentrate on fixing your liver / kidney issues, you could find that your thyroid may fix itself. If your liver is backed up with toxic stuff, it cannot balance your body's metabolism. My own problem is the opposite to your's, *hypo* (meaning under active) thyroid. Although your's is *hyper*, the root causes of a malfunctioning thyroid can be similar. Your query is reasonable. Similar to what I have been researching since being diagnosed with cardiomyopathy (heart failure) in early 2010. After months of intensive study, my earliest conclusion was that conventional medicine not only could NOT offer a solution, it didn't offer even a remote clue as what causes heart failure. The crude medieval solutions being prescribed by cardiologists threaten more harm than good. By the end of 2010, I had entirely written off the heart doctors' crude reductionist nostrums. Those private conclusions about cardiologists were vindicated when this news report about a year ago: http://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/patients-do-better-when-cardiologists-are-away-at-academic-meetings/ Reading the ideas of Ray Peat led to the discoveries of Dr Broda Barnes who found that all heart problems can be traced to an under functioning thyroid. That led me to Russell Farris's Infection-Cortisol Yahoo group and an expatriate goat farmer in Thailand, who solved his thyriod issues with Armor dessicated natural thyroid extract. I tried this for a about a year but it didn't work for me, possibly for the reason given here by Tom Brimeyer: http://www.forefronthealth.com/how-to-heal-your-thyroid/ "However, it’s important to understand that just because you take thyroid hormone doesn’t mean that the hormone is getting to your cells. Thyroid hormone can get blocked many places along this pathway. For example, most hypothyroid people can’t convert inactive T4 thyroid hormone to active T3 thyroid hormone that your cells need. Thyroid hormone can also get blocked in the bloodstream, at the cell receptor, etc. You can supplement all of the thyroid hormone you want but if you can’t get the hormone to your cells then you will still be hypothyroid." IR SAUNA DETOX Next , I found the sensible and practical DrMyhill.com: Dr Sarah Myhill in the UK specializes in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), a condition which is closely related for hypothyroidism. She found that daily sweating in an infra red sauna helps the body sweat out toxins. Ray Peat agrees; he says that a few hundred watts worth of ordinary incandescent light bulbs do the job. Dr John Harvey Kellog of Kellog's Cornflakes Battle Creek Sanatorium fame found the same thing. He summarized his 40 years of medical practice using light bulbs in "Light Therapeutics", published in 1922, a book which is now a free download on the internet. A daily session either under the lights or in the sun (I live near the Equator) is relaxing and invigorating. LIVER FUNCTION As to the liver, there seems to be two essential things we can immediately do (apart from avoiding toxins such as alcohol and PUFAs - Poly Unsaturated Fats) . One is start doing a Max Gerson daily coffee enema, the other is daily yoga to get the lymph fluids moving. Our bodies have more lymph fluid that blood; it is a major detox pathway. Our lymph system has no means of moving the stuff around except movement and exercise. Some say a daily rebounder works; I like yoga. - The daily coffee enema thing is a hassle for most people, I need to post my own quick and easy technique on a health blog, one of these days. - I also vigorously brush my dry skin with a rough brush before showering (twice daily), as that seems to help the body detox. My soap is home made out of palm oil and coconut oil - i.e. no dodgy artificial perfumes, surfactants or colorings. A couple of litres of cooking oil makes a two year supply. Use all soaps and skin surfactants sparingly. So by 2012 I was supplementing with a load of stuff suggested by the Dutchman Willie Witzel, the most important of which seems to be magnesium and zinc. Ray Peat had already convinced me to totally stop all polyunsaturated seed oils such as corn, soy, canola, even flax and fish oils. Dr William Davis (Wheatbelly) convinces us to stop consuming all wheat products. That means that just about all packet processed foods on supermarket selves are off limits. I then in 2014, I found the ideas of DrLWilson.com who sensibly maintains that heavy metal toxicity can be solved by 3 -4 monthly cycles of hair analysis and his (complicated) nutritional balancing program. I was on this for a couple of years and it certainly helped get my waking body temperature halfway up from a low 36 degree Celsius (= 96.8 degree Fahrenheit) to today's moderately okay 36.6 degree Celsius (= 97.8 degree) Fahrenheit. DrLwilson recommends a diet of mostly cooked vegetables and little or no fruit. His ideas generally make a lot of sense though some of his pronouncements sometimes seem a bit dogmatic and not fully in accordance with the ideas of other health practitioners whom I also respect , such as Chris Kresser, Paul Jaminet and Ray Peat. You will be well rewarded by browsing through Wilson's clearly written essays at drlwilcon.com. Wilson is an innovate thinker. Ray Peat suggests eating daily a grated raw carrot salad; this helps sweep clear the gut of unwanted endotoxins and progesterone/testosterone blocking estrogenic substances. I also try to remember to do a weekly midnight (i.e. empty stomach) gut cleanout using a good 2 - 4 grams of activated charcoal. A year into Dr Wilson's program, I added a daily 20 minute ozone rectal insufflation using a $25 ozone generator from Aliexpress.com. (I now own 4 ozone generators but this basic one does the job well enough.) There is lot of b.s. about "medical grade" ozone on the net. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Portable-Active-Ozone-Generator-Sterilizer-Air-purifier-Purification-Fruit-Vegetables-water-food-Preparation-ozonator-ionizator/32334588402.html https://www.researchgate.net/publication/26285477_May_Oxygen-Ozone_Therapy_Improves_Cardiovascular_Disorders Between DrLWilson's programs and daily ozone insufflation which one had the most bearing on the improvement in my thyroid function? I don't know; I can only tell you what I did. My most recent improvement in thyroid has resulted in an fairly consistent morning wakeup body temperature to 36.6 degree Celsius (= 97.88 degree Fahrenheit); it came following the addition of 850nm LLLT (Low Level Light Therapy) , which I started only 6 months ago. It involves shining a bank of 48 or 96 IR LED's onto the thyriod, for about 15 minutes every 2nd day. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/12V-96-LED-Night-Vision-IR-Infrared-Light-Lamp-for-CCTV-Camera/32596637786.html https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/red-light-therapy-lllt-cures-hypothyroid.6815/ Ozone and LLLT both seem to work by boosting the body's production of cytochrome c oxidase (COX), which seems to be a kind of precurser to thyriod hormone. "Influence of thyroid hormone on the tissue-specific expression of cytochrome c oxidase isoforms during cardiac development": http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9355747 As Broda Barnes, said, once the thyriod starts functioning, so too does the heart. While I'm a long way from the 50km daily bicycle rides that I did until 2009, I can at least live a reasonably normal life for a 66 year old. SUMMARY (This is much the same as a program to prevent cancer.) 1. ELIMINATE TOXINS: Daily IR sauna; 75% cooked vegetables in the diet; no PUFA rich seed oils or wheat products. Grass fed animal fat, butter, coconut and olive oil is okay. Palm oil is a third choice. We eat a lot of Australian or NZ lamb or mutton, all of which is grass fed. 2. FIX LIVER FUNCTION: Yoga or rebounding, daily coffee enemas, liver healthy diet 45 minutes every second day using this $10 LLLT device helps the liver repair itself: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2014-New-BioNase-Nose-Rhinitis-Sinusitis-Therapy-Massage-Hay-fever-Low-Frequency-Pulse-And-Laser-therapy/2029009297.html 3. PHYSICALLY REPAIR THE THYRIOD WITH 830-850nm LLLT THERAPY ..and possibly ozone as well. Look up the remarkable discoveries of Dr Uri Oron; I am surprised that he is not more famous. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
