Thyroid and CURE

To start differently on the subject deviated from Science and Technology behind it, let us see why the Creator has given us this organ and why do we always worry about it.

Just to make things understandable in layman standard

The thyroid gland is an IMPORTANT hormone gland, which plays a major role in the metabolism and it also helps in growth and development of the human body.

It uses iodine from the foods that we have to create two main hormones called Triiodothyronine (T3) & Thyroxine (T4)

Because of its remarkable influence, it’s not possible for the body to survive without the thyroid Glands.

Removal of Thyroid gland is not advisable because if it’s not producing any thyroidhormone for any reasons, you may face serious conditions like myxedema coma which is fatal.

It’s the very reason, that I have started the thread slightly different and its very much curable with Homeopathic medications

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

Now coming to TSH, it’s a controversial subject till now, with its High and Low Value ranges, even though it’s the only reliable source to estimate the Thyroid functionality in our body.

Note that TSH is a pituitary hormone, not a thyroid hormone

For example, there are many occasions when TSH levels fall below the reference range for hyperthyroidism, Still the patient is not hyperthyroid. Many have Free and Total T3, and Free and Total T4 levels that are within range with low TSH levels, which contradicts this pattern. So all the low TSH levels really should not be used to diagnose hyperthyroidism without confirming the Free T3 and Free and Total T4 levels, nor should low TSH levels alone ever be a reason for decreasing one’s dose

T3 and T4

T3 and T4 are important hormones produced by the thyroid gland. The function of the thyroid gland is to absorb iodine from our intake and convert it into thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid cells are the only cells in the body which can absorb iodine

Normal Range of T4 & T3

Total T4 5.0-12 μg/dL

Total T3 80-190 ng/dL

Free T4 1.0-3.0 ng/dL

Free T3 0.25-0.65 ng/dL
