The number one gland to be poisoned (by toxins, or environmental endocrine disruptors) is the thyroid, which controls energy, cholesterol, depression, heart disease, weight, and more. As you learned in 2014 TW, when the thyroid gland is overtly under-functioning, practice guidelines encourage doctors to prescribe Synthroid. But this has many problems. First of all it’s not the active T3 thyroid hormone, but T4. This has to be converted to T3 in order to work in the body. The problem is that this requires selenium and they’re not trained to check for RBC selenium deficiency… There is another reason why these thyroid glands, which have become targets of environmental pollutants, are stalled for healing. That’s because most glands are deficient in iodine…There are many reasons for iodine deficiency, starting with factory smokestack, incinerator, and transportation exhaust producing heavy metals, which displace iodine from the soil, resulting in less uptake in plants we use for food…. So you’re first line of defense? Besides avoidance and modification of lifestyle as much as you are able at this point, you need to restore the iodine that is missing. In fact, iodine deficiency is another hidden epidemic that medicine ignores. The best (nonRx) form is Lugols (J Crow) 2% solution in glass dropper bottles. Since Iodoral is indefinitely backordered, five drops of Lugol’s is equal to one Iodoral tablet.”
