hey guys in this video we’re going to talk about  the goiter okay let’s kinda let’s kind of go  

through it first of all you have a hypothyroid  case that’s a low thyroid that could come from  

a low amount of iodine in the diet okay now either  you’re not consuming in the diet because it’s not  

in the food because it’s a trace mineral and  our soils are so poor or you could be eating  

certain foods that are pulling it out okay so  there’s even medications and drugs like sulfa  

drugs will deplete iodine lithium will deplete  iodine perchlorate that’s in the water supply  

that’s why you need a house filter that will cause  a depletion of iodine and then thiocyanate that’s  

from cigarette smoking if you smoke that can also  that chemical can pull iodine out of your thyroid  

and then also different foods like yuca soy bean  pine nuts strawberries peaches pears bamboo shoots  

sweet potato cruciferous vegetables all those have  the capacity to deplete you of iodine so so it  

could be a thyroid situation coming from a lack  of iodine or it could come from a liver problem  

or you’re low in bile because your gall bladder  is removed in which case you can’t convert t4  

to t3 so that could be the cause or it could be  high levels of estrogen a lot of women that are  

pregnant and have a baby during the process the  thyroid goes down that’s because the high mountain  

of estrogen that can block the thyroid regardless  of that situation what happens when you’re low in  

iodine you’re not making the thyroid hormones and  so therefore the feedback mechanism is going to  

go up to the pituitary and tell the pituitary  to make thyroid stimulating hormone and that  

hormone from the pituitary makes the thyroid and  large okay that’s the purpose of it so that sends  

back here because we’re not getting the feedback  loop because when your thyroid is producing normal  

amounts of thyroid hormone it should act as a  feedback and turn off the pituitary so it can  

stop producing but it’s not enough it just keeps  sending communication it’s not a little bit of  

a circuit and the thyroid gets bigger alright  then you have Hashimoto’s that’s an autoimmune  

situation where your Thyer is making antibodies  that are attacking itself in which case it’s  

going to block the thyroid hormone so you’ll  have low thyroid hormone low iodine sending a  

signal back up to the thyroid stimulating hormone  or not sending a signal back and causing this the  

pituitary to stimulate the thyroid more to make  it get bigger to the same mechanism but in this  

case it’s the actual iodine deficiency this is  an immune reaction this is usually created by  

stress induced autoimmune type problems most  autoimmune is stress-related in this case you  

would want to take iodine and you would also want  to take selenium okay selenium is very important  

in the conversion process and also the production  of making thyroid hormones it’s part of a certain  

enzyme that makes thyroid hormones also it’s very  important in vitamin A to take vitamin A if you’re  

deficient in vitamin A either this one or this  one if you’re deficient in vitamin A you’re not  

going to make thyroid hormones that well so you  need vitamin A vitamin A is in animal products  

it’s not in it’s in vegetables as a pre vitamin  A but not the actual retinol which is the active  

form which is mainly in color boil egg yolks and  grass-fed dairy products things like that so or  

you might not have a gallbladder and you can’t  pull in that vitamin A so that’s another source  

so if you’re taking selenium you need about two  hundred micrograms and by the way what’s really  

high in selenium is wheatgrass juice which is  interesting okay so we got those two mechanisms  

and then we have Grave’s which is a high amount  of thyroid hormone production so it’s a hyper  

thyroid problem so that person is too much iodine  okay so you’re not going to give more iodine to a  

Grave’s type situation and the reason why the  thyroid is enlarging with Grave’s is because  

the immune system is creating another thing  called thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin TSI

and that is the thing that’s making this  get bigger not the pituitary but this immune reaction

okay so you never want to give a person  more iodine or C help if they have Grave’s because that’s going to worsen it you never

want to  give a person with graves like bowel support or gallbladder support because that will

make  more conversion and make more hormone okay so these foods are probably good not the chemicals  but the foods would be good for Grave’s because  

it will lower iodine okay now I have a I use  a sea kelp from Iceland which is a very pure  

organic certified sea kelp because there’s not  many oceans left that are cleaned so that one  

is very clean it doesn’t have any chemicals in  it it’s highly pure and you would take that in  

the morning of course not if you have Grave’s don’t  take it before you go to bed because it increases  

energy okay so I just wanted to kind of give  you a background of what is behind goiters and  

it doesn’t necessarily have to always be a hypo  it could be a hyper alright thanks for watching
