FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO TAKE NATURAL THYROID

NEWS FLASH...

We are just finding out that Big Pharma and the FDA are out to try and remove more of our bioidentical hormones... this time our natural thyroid.

As many of us understand, our thyroid literally runs a thousand physiological processes in our body; especially our hormones and metabolism. Some very important mechanisms!

Being a bio-identical hormone specialist and naturopathic physician for over 30 years, I have experience utilizing natural thyroid and all that could be coming to a screeching halt!

Holistic  practitioners have prescribed natural desicated thyroid (NDT) forever; it was here long before big pharma created a synthetic form of thyroid (T4). This juggernaut decision from pharma comes at a time when they are looking at eliminating the natural competition. 

Of course, there is no comparison of efficacy with the NDT over the synthetic variant; therefore the FDA  and big pharma have chosen to eliminate the competition by calling it unnecessary and dangerous.

My daily use and prescriptive activity for thousands of women and men over these decades have shown me irrefutable evidence of its ability to turn around conditions that Western medicine has not been able to deal  with. Most of these are subclinical cases; not seen by only an abnormal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). 

There have been  hundreds of patients that have come to my office declaring that their thyroid was " within normal limits" by  their MDs. The verity of the situation was revealed  by functional lab testing verifying low T3  and remedied by natural thyroid.  Their 'normalcy' was exposed for what it really is; pure ignorance of the science of bio-identical hormones.

MD's and NP's are only taught about synthetics in school; not about bio-identical hormones. Only afterwards do they discover by taking integrative classes, how natural (found in nature, not synthesized in a lab) are far superior to the synthetics.

Understand  that natural, bio-identical hormones such as NDT, estrogen and progesterone can not be synthesized in a lab and are therefore non-patentable. Inability to patent a natural product or hormone translates to no profits for the drug companies. They have to find some way to negate the extreme popularity of  bioidentical hormones; whether it be natural thyroid, progesterone or estrogen. They then reach out to the FDA  and find studies that imply its inferiority over their synthetic versions. 

This 'war' they have created against taking away our most effective and harmless therapies must be voiced and educated to the masses.

Enough is enough and "WE THE WOMEN' and physicians that advocate for  natural care for the planet need to say no more!!

By reading this article and Dr. Malone's informative substack: https://sayerji.substack.com/p/the-fdas-war-on-natural-thyroid-a?utm_source=cross-post&publication_id=2878303&post_id=171126093&utm_campaign=583200&isFreemail=true&r=18xmct&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email you will be enlightened enough to vote for the continued use of  natural hormones. 

Big Pharma should not be  the voice box for anything natural! Naturopathic and  alternative practitioners that are trained in the   mechanics and physiology of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)  should be the ones that make decisions regarding their use on our patients!

The MD's are drug reps for big pharma and do not understand the basis of why women need NDT with all its  complex molecules. 

Recall, there is no Triodothyronine (T3) in synthetic T4 (levothyroxine); it is synthesized in a lab and not biologically identical to your own thyroid hormone. Only products from plants or animals have this 'biological imprint' that can affect our tissues alone!  

Our bodies contain thousands of receptor sites for biologically recognizable hormones and peptides. Natural thyroid affects thousands of receptor sites that affect our energy, brain, skin, reproductive hormones, hair growth, ATP for our muscles, bone health and a hundred others.

Synthetic T4 is the antithesis of a natural hormone. It is not biologically available and has no effect on our receptors. It is a synthetic analog of T4 that our body doesn't  meld with; it can be considered 'better than nothing'. Furthermore, synthetic T4 cannot convert to T3; only the natural one can do this activation. 

The other elephant in the room is the fact that our Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) can be high for other reasons than low T4 (Thyroxine). TSH can increase in the blood  from low levels of Triodothyronine (T3).

Since Allopaths are not familiar with the low T3 issue; they are liable to use only the T4 (levothyroxine) which can make matters worse and obviously doesn't address the cause of the hypothyroid condition. 

Natural thyroid (NDT) addresses most all thyroid deficiencies since it contains bioidentical T4, T3, T2 and others. Our thyroid receptors recognize these bioidentical hormones  and create a harmonious stream of vital factors in our tissues. Nothing like this occurs with the synthetic version. 

Our patients start to feel a wave of wellbeing and energy again. Their brain turns on and their libido returns.  They are motivated to exercise and their weight starts normalizing.

Herein lies the physiological and clinical pearls to present to your practitioner and the FDA:

- Your cells and receptors only recognize thyroid and other hormones from plant or animal sources.

- The active thyroid hormone that your body requires more than any other is the final end product ; T3 (Triodo-thyronine) not T4.

- Without T3; your body can not make ATP which is fuel for your muscles. There will be brain fog, poor cognition and memory. Skin will dry and flake. Hair follicles cannot properly work and hair can fall out and can become dry. Your eyes don't focus well and can become dry. Your subcutaneous skin can retain fluid . Your female hormones will become irregular and not work well. If you are post-menopausal, your female hormones will not function without T3. Your weight will not be easily managed without T3. Your libido can  suffer and your mind may become lethargic and depression can easily set in. 

To the bureaucracies that are trying to control our health and well-being; you should be ashamed of yourselves! How dare you attempt to destroy our health for the sake of your own deep pockets. 

Leave our natural-bioidentical hormones alone! Do not compromise our health and well-being with cheaper synthetics.

Allow myself and my practitioner to make the informed decision to utilize any natural hormone...It is not your place to decide what my body needs!
