Hi, I'm taking
thyroid medication
00:00:01.06\00:00:03.59
it's just not working for me.
00:00:03.62\00:00:05.56
There are so many baleful
side effects what can I do?
00:00:05.59\00:00:08.74
Well, today's program
is just for you entitled
00:00:08.77\00:00:11.61
"The Master Glands."
00:00:11.64\00:00:12.81
So stay by.
00:00:12.84\00:00:14.06
Hi, this is Curtis Eakins
co-host of Abundant Living.
00:00:48.21\00:00:51.97
And this is my
beautiful bride Paula Eakins.
00:00:52.00\00:00:54.53
Why are you laughing?
00:00:54.56\00:00:55.75
Happy today to be
with me on this program?
00:00:55.78\00:00:59.00
Okay.
00:00:59.03\00:01:00.32
And, oh, that's a
nice pink blouse there.
00:01:00.35\00:01:04.47
You know, I let you dress first
00:01:04.50\00:01:05.69
and then I'll match
what you wear in color.
00:01:05.72\00:01:10.37
Good. Not in garments.
00:01:10.40\00:01:11.59
Okay. So, you look nice though.
00:01:11.62\00:01:13.21
Thank you. Well, thank you.
00:01:13.24\00:01:14.48
Okay, the master
gland. The master gland.
00:01:14.51\00:01:17.86
You talk before
about it also being called
00:01:17.89\00:01:19.81
the butterfly gland.
00:01:19.84\00:01:20.87
The butterfly gland.
00:01:20.90\00:01:21.93
And when we were
talking last time
00:01:21.96\00:01:23.26
we were getting
into all the statistics
00:01:23.29\00:01:25.09
and all that kind of
information stuff about,
00:01:25.12\00:01:27.33
what was gonna with thyroid?
00:01:27.36\00:01:28.72
And so we're just continuing on.
00:01:28.75\00:01:29.80
Yes. Just go ahead, honey.
00:01:29.83\00:01:30.86
Because my
next-- my next question
00:01:30.89\00:01:32.58
is gonna be about a person
who has hypothyroidism, okay.
00:01:32.61\00:01:37.59
What kind of drugs
or the type of drugs
00:01:37.62\00:01:39.72
that are given for that?
00:01:39.75\00:01:41.62
And just a recap in case those
00:01:41.65\00:01:43.13
who missed the program
before the thyroid gland
00:01:43.16\00:01:45.59
is called the master gland
00:01:45.62\00:01:47.65
and it's
controlled by the hypothalamus
00:01:47.68\00:01:49.54
and pituitary gland,
the base of the skull.
00:01:49.57\00:01:52.27
They are and of course
they control the thyroid gland.
00:01:52.30\00:01:55.32
And the thyroid already produces
00:01:55.35\00:01:57.17
two main hormones T4 and T3.
00:01:57.20\00:02:01.69
Those two hormones stimulate
every tissue in a body.
00:02:01.72\00:02:08.11
Therefore it's called
the master gland, all right.
00:02:08.14\00:02:12.42
So if this not working properly
then, a lot of symptoms,
00:02:12.45\00:02:15.74
we missing that last time
the extremities of cold hands,
00:02:15.77\00:02:19.16
feet, lethargy, tired,
feeling depressed, weight gain,
00:02:19.19\00:02:24.91
depression, constipation,
menstrual problems.
00:02:24.94\00:02:29.06
I mean, the list goes on and on.
00:02:29.09\00:02:30.44
So that's why it's
called a master gland.
00:02:30.47\00:02:32.04
So of course, there is
drugs for this condition,
00:02:32.07\00:02:36.23
hypothyroidism, low acting.
00:02:36.26\00:02:39.13
And one other drugs
probably of choice is Synthroid.
00:02:39.16\00:02:44.08
And probably
everyone heard of Synthroid
00:02:44.11\00:02:46.78
and of course
the word Syn-throid.
00:02:46.81\00:02:52.28
Throid- thyroid, Syn- synthetic.
00:02:52.31\00:02:57.44
So it's a
synthetic thyroid drug.
00:02:57.47\00:03:03.99
Syn-throid. Syn-throid, meaning?
00:03:04.02\00:03:08.23
Synthetic. Meaning?
00:03:08.26\00:03:09.74
Yeah, synthetic.
The thyroid hormone.
00:03:09.77\00:03:12.31
Man made. Right.
00:03:12.34\00:03:13.97
Synthetic. So Syn-throid.
00:03:14.00\00:03:16.25
And with that synthetic
00:03:16.28\00:03:19.14
there's baleful side effects
of that to name just a few.
00:03:19.17\00:03:24.04
First you have
abnormal heart rhythm.
00:03:24.07\00:03:29.34
That's not good.
Arrhythmia, all right.
00:03:29.37\00:03:31.97
Two, congestive heart
failure. That's not good.
00:03:32.00\00:03:37.41
Hives and rash for some people
00:03:37.44\00:03:40.21
and an increased of
fractures of the wrist,
00:03:40.24\00:03:45.22
forearm, shoulder,
spine, leg and ankle.
00:03:45.25\00:03:51.65
Synthroid. Synthroid.
00:03:55.15\00:03:57.32
That's not sound any holy
good. Does not sound good--
00:03:57.35\00:03:59.16
It really doesn't.
It's not sounding good.
00:03:59.19\00:04:00.58
And that's the drug of
choice for hypothyroidism.
00:04:00.61\00:04:06.50
And a lot of
people have this condition
00:04:06.53\00:04:08.89
that we're
missing some of the things
00:04:08.92\00:04:10.22
that people, you know, would do
00:04:10.25\00:04:13.60
that will cause this gland
to be under active or hypo.
00:04:13.63\00:04:17.94
And so that's the
choice and that's the main drug
00:04:17.97\00:04:20.31
of choice for this condition.
00:04:20.34\00:04:21.73
So a lot of
people they are taking up
00:04:21.76\00:04:23.73
but they are not satisfied,
the baleful side effects
00:04:23.76\00:04:26.77
and so it's not
really efficacious
00:04:26.80\00:04:29.62
for this type of condition.
00:04:29.65\00:04:31.27
Now a lot of
people, they would do
00:04:31.30\00:04:33.59
is they will go to
another type of drug
00:04:33.62\00:04:36.39
which is bio-identical hormone.
00:04:36.42\00:04:40.12
More similar to
the body's hormone,
00:04:40.15\00:04:42.26
all right and this is called
Armour thyroid, all right.
00:04:42.29\00:04:47.65
Now let me talk about that
because that's a little bit
00:04:47.68\00:04:51.86
more positive as far as outcome
00:04:51.89\00:04:55.36
is concerned as supposed
to Synthroid, all right.
00:04:55.39\00:04:58.44
This is not
synthetic, it's bio-identical.
00:04:58.47\00:05:01.91
So it's more tuned to
what the body produces.
00:05:01.94\00:05:04.19
Now the body produces
like I said before T4 and T3,
00:05:04.22\00:05:10.80
but the ratio is 11:1.
00:05:10.83\00:05:12.41
In other words
the body naturally
00:05:12.44\00:05:13.66
produce T4, T3 at 11:1 ratio.
00:05:13.69\00:05:19.94
Armour thyroid
drug is a 4:1 ratio.
00:05:19.97\00:05:24.94
So it's not exact
what the body produces
00:05:24.97\00:05:27.32
but it's closer than Synthroid
00:05:27.35\00:05:30.13
therefore you
have better results.
00:05:30.16\00:05:32.67
The down side
for a lot of people
00:05:32.70\00:05:35.85
is dried thyroid
cells from the pig.
00:05:35.88\00:05:40.01
Wait a minute,
hold up. Okay. Okay.
00:05:40.04\00:05:44.00
I mean it's better but
at least it's not synthetic
00:05:44.03\00:05:48.36
but it's for a the pig,
dried thyroid cell for the pig,
00:05:48.39\00:05:51.86
Armour thyroid.
00:05:51.89\00:05:53.70
So it's little
bit better tolerated
00:05:53.73\00:05:55.16
but and you have to
really get that more 11:1
00:05:55.19\00:05:59.10
the way the body produces
to a compound pharmacist
00:05:59.13\00:06:01.69
which is sometimes hard to do.
00:06:01.72\00:06:03.62
And that's really the
choice of the people have,
00:06:03.65\00:06:06.57
either Synthroid,
synthetic or bio-identical
00:06:06.60\00:06:10.38
which is Armour
thyroid is a oral
00:06:10.41\00:06:13.15
and of course the Armour
00:06:13.18\00:06:14.91
is a little bit
more better than Sythriod
00:06:14.94\00:06:17.27
but again some people
are not too happy about
00:06:17.30\00:06:20.91
it coming from dry
thyroid cell from a pig.
00:06:20.94\00:06:26.04
That should be help. I know.
00:06:26.07\00:06:28.22
I know for a fact
that surely its like,
00:06:28.25\00:06:30.57
okay, I'm not happy
with either one of those.
00:06:30.60\00:06:33.67
So you know that we're
always looking at an alternative
00:06:33.70\00:06:38.11
and in alternative is there
any alternative medication?
00:06:38.14\00:06:43.80
I don't want to say what drug
00:06:43.83\00:06:45.31
they can be used as well as that
00:06:45.34\00:06:48.53
and I guess-- I'm
just thinking about myself.
00:06:48.56\00:06:52.76
Okay.
00:06:52.79\00:06:54.96
I'm not really sure
or how long or it was
00:06:54.99\00:06:57.10
but I know that I
was having some issues
00:06:57.13\00:06:59.87
at least with my
nails, because I think--
00:06:59.90\00:07:01.88
oh, might have brought that up.
00:07:01.91\00:07:03.33
Yes, a whole list. Okay, okay.
00:07:03.36\00:07:04.39
I mean, 47 conditions
00:07:04.42\00:07:05.54
but nails,
yeah, that some nails.
00:07:05.57\00:07:06.73
My nails, my hair,
okay, my skin was acting up
00:07:06.76\00:07:11.92
and of course going in to
have my regular physicals.
00:07:11.95\00:07:14.83
Well, I
mentioned it to my doctor
00:07:14.86\00:07:17.21
he automatically said,
00:07:17.24\00:07:18.28
it's probably a
problem with your thyroid.
00:07:18.31\00:07:20.58
And let me say this
00:07:20.61\00:07:21.88
as my wife continues
her TSH was very high.
00:07:21.91\00:07:25.90
And remember in
the last program--
00:07:25.93\00:07:27.38
we're talking about the TSH.
00:07:27.41\00:07:28.72
Let me say this
before you finish up.
00:07:28.75\00:07:31.52
TSH is really most
labs it will 0.5 to 5.0
00:07:31.55\00:07:37.93
and we decided that,
00:07:37.96\00:07:39.01
that's really too
much of a wide range.
00:07:39.04\00:07:41.93
It should be 0.3 to 3.0
in a more optimum range.
00:07:41.96\00:07:46.16
And your range were like,
00:07:46.19\00:07:47.68
I think its eight or
something like that, yeah.
00:07:47.71\00:07:50.61
So what happened
as far as you can tell
00:07:50.64\00:07:52.10
because we didn't
go with the Synthroid.
00:07:52.13\00:07:54.22
Did you? No.
00:07:54.25\00:07:55.28
You didn't go with
the Armour thyroid,
00:07:55.31\00:07:56.97
dry thyroid cell from the pig.
00:07:57.00\00:07:58.83
No. Okay.
00:07:58.86\00:08:00.49
So this-- you began to
do some major research.
00:08:00.52\00:08:03.67
And in that research,
trying to find an alternative
00:08:03.70\00:08:06.20
because you know,
well, one thing about,
00:08:06.23\00:08:07.55
I know for
myself and that is that
00:08:07.58\00:08:09.10
when I began
taking any kind of drug,
00:08:09.13\00:08:11.22
even aspirin, my
body don't like it, okay.
00:08:11.25\00:08:13.57
So with that in
mind I'm not ready
00:08:13.60\00:08:15.20
to start on something
that's gonna be damaging.
00:08:15.23\00:08:18.06
Okay, so I know
the hair and the nails
00:08:18.09\00:08:19.86
and the skin was acting up.
00:08:19.89\00:08:21.03
And now you talked
about the hormone issue,
00:08:21.06\00:08:23.17
so that's definitely
estrogen, the estrogen test.
00:08:23.20\00:08:24.77
Estrone has either
issues that's having to do
00:08:24.80\00:08:26.65
with the
hormones, female hormones.
00:08:26.68\00:08:29.64
And so we started
looking at all the things
00:08:29.67\00:08:31.97
that are part of helping
to keep the thyroid healthy
00:08:32.00\00:08:35.60
and or putting it
back into the state
00:08:35.63\00:08:37.95
it needs it to be in so it
can function like it needs to.
00:08:37.98\00:08:41.08
So what are some of the things
00:08:41.11\00:08:42.80
you began looking at
that need to be in a formula
00:08:42.83\00:08:46.40
that I could actually
take and I ask my doctor this.
00:08:46.43\00:08:49.49
Okay, every
time I go to a doctor
00:08:49.52\00:08:51.96
and he tell me something
00:08:52.00\00:08:53.15
and he say
something is going on.
00:08:53.18\00:08:54.90
I'm always
like, let me step back
00:08:54.93\00:08:57.82
and breathe, you know.
00:08:57.85\00:09:00.09
Because there's something about
when you step back and breathe
00:09:00.12\00:09:02.09
when someone
tells you something,
00:09:02.12\00:09:03.50
that helps you
make a better decision
00:09:03.53\00:09:05.36
than to jump automatically
when someone says that jump.
00:09:05.39\00:09:07.73
It's true. It's true.
00:09:07.76\00:09:08.80
So I step back and I
breathe a little bit there,
00:09:08.83\00:09:11.05
you know, and I
breathe some more
00:09:11.08\00:09:12.56
and I began to
have some research
00:09:12.59\00:09:13.93
on what type of compounds
or bio-identical things
00:09:13.96\00:09:18.35
can we use to see if we can help
00:09:18.38\00:09:20.65
that thyroid get back in place.
00:09:20.68\00:09:23.59
And some are
things you did well,
00:09:23.62\00:09:24.93
we're gonna walk through
with you today in this program
00:09:24.96\00:09:29.13
because it's very
good as far as your number
00:09:29.16\00:09:32.25
has came down from
eight to seven to six.
00:09:32.28\00:09:35.31
I think it's
right now it's five.
00:09:35.34\00:09:37.30
And some of things that
you're doing to form up,
00:09:37.33\00:09:40.09
we're gonna walk
through each one of those items
00:09:40.12\00:09:42.90
separately within a
next 10 minutes or so.
00:09:42.93\00:09:45.70
Actually, actually,
it's not a 5, it's 4.7.
00:09:45.73\00:09:49.01
Oh, that's the latest one.
00:09:49.04\00:09:50.74
4.7. Oh, okay, yeah.
00:09:50.77\00:09:52.10
But you-- you
getting in there, all right.
00:09:52.13\00:09:54.34
And not right away, okay.
00:09:54.37\00:09:56.66
It was a gradual
process. Yes, gradually.
00:09:56.69\00:09:58.11
We always tell
people a lot of time
00:09:58.14\00:09:59.31
when someone is asking
us questions about herbs,
00:09:59.34\00:10:01.52
herbal medicine, lifestyle.
00:10:01.55\00:10:03.34
It's not a just all of
sudden you do it and it's over.
00:10:03.37\00:10:06.27
You really have to
move it into the lifestyle.
00:10:06.30\00:10:09.20
So I would say, over
a period of time about,
00:10:09.23\00:10:11.79
can we say at
least three or six months
00:10:11.82\00:10:13.79
I was actually doing the formula
00:10:13.82\00:10:15.32
and it made a different
when I went back to my doctor.
00:10:15.35\00:10:17.21
Okay. Now so what does she do?
00:10:17.24\00:10:19.28
And what was the
formula that we used for her?
00:10:19.31\00:10:22.07
Number one, we
talked about thyroid
00:10:22.10\00:10:23.80
and most people know about
some of the herbs out there,
00:10:23.83\00:10:28.70
probably the most
popular herb when it come to
00:10:28.73\00:10:30.70
under active
thyroid is kelp, all right.
00:10:30.73\00:10:33.95
We call that a gift of
the sea. So we use that.
00:10:33.98\00:10:38.20
That's one of the
main herbs in a formula.
00:10:38.23\00:10:40.15
We're gonna build
a formula for you.
00:10:40.18\00:10:42.06
We're gonna
walk through each one
00:10:42.09\00:10:43.24
of these items out of formula.
00:10:43.27\00:10:44.68
The first one, how to eat kelp?
00:10:44.71\00:10:45.98
Any formula that doesn't
have Kelp has a thyroid formula,
00:10:46.01\00:10:49.64
you know keep it on your shelf.
00:10:49.67\00:10:50.74
So kelp is gonna be
one of the main ones.
00:10:50.77\00:10:53.78
Another herb is called
bladderwrack, bladder-wrack.
00:10:53.81\00:10:58.56
Has nothing to
do with the bladder
00:10:58.59\00:10:59.69
it's just a name of the herb.
00:10:59.72\00:11:01.15
So kelp and bladderwrack
those are two herbs,
00:11:01.18\00:11:03.96
they are
precursors thyroid hormone,
00:11:03.99\00:11:07.20
kelp and bladderwrack.
00:11:07.23\00:11:08.26
Now the other herb
00:11:08.29\00:11:10.78
that we can
include in this formula,
00:11:10.81\00:11:13.28
most people may
not have heard off
00:11:13.31\00:11:15.73
and that's the one
we're gonna highlight.
00:11:15.76\00:11:17.37
Let's go to screen
and see what that herb is
00:11:17.40\00:11:19.48
in addition to the kelp
00:11:19.51\00:11:20.79
and the
bladderwrack at this time.
00:11:20.82\00:11:23.25
It's called Ashwagandha root
00:11:23.28\00:11:26.35
and now that's the
botanical name in parenthesis.
00:11:26.38\00:11:28.70
Let me read this.
00:11:28.73\00:11:29.76
This is from the
Journal of Pharmacy
00:11:29.79\00:11:31.79
and Pharmacology, it says this.
00:11:31.82\00:11:34.40
"This herb has
been shown to stimulate
00:11:34.43\00:11:38.18
thyroid activity
by," get this now,
00:11:38.21\00:11:41.96
"increasing T4 production
and convert T4 to T3."
00:11:41.99\00:11:49.93
Now remember we mentioned
that two of the main hormones
00:11:49.96\00:11:53.21
that the thyroid
produce is T4 and T3.
00:11:53.24\00:11:58.78
And T4 helps to covert into T3.
00:11:58.81\00:12:02.05
This herb does that
from the herbal kingdom
00:12:02.08\00:12:06.04
one of the main
herbs that can do that
00:12:06.07\00:12:07.83
in a whole herbal
kingdom Ashwagandha.
00:12:07.86\00:12:11.01
So therefore we look at
a lot of herbal formulas
00:12:11.04\00:12:13.42
when it comes to thyroid.
00:12:13.45\00:12:15.14
Then we're talking about hypo.
00:12:15.17\00:12:16.46
Okay, we gone missing
hyper before we close.
00:12:16.49\00:12:19.49
Then kelp needs to be there,
00:12:19.52\00:12:21.97
bladderwrack needs to
be there, also Ashwagandha
00:12:22.00\00:12:26.88
that's another herb
too needs to be there.
00:12:26.91\00:12:29.30
And sometimes you have
other herbs out there as well
00:12:29.33\00:12:31.35
but those are kind
of like the top three,
00:12:31.38\00:12:33.30
there's maybe others
we can mention as well
00:12:33.33\00:12:35.44
but just want to get a idea
00:12:35.47\00:12:36.59
of what to look for
in your health food store
00:12:36.62\00:12:39.72
when you're looking for
some type of a thyroid formula
00:12:39.75\00:12:42.74
from a natural standpoint,
herbal standpoint at first
00:12:42.77\00:12:46.02
they has no side
effects, so that's one of those.
00:12:46.05\00:12:48.75
So you want to make sure
00:12:48.78\00:12:49.81
those three are present
in the actual formula itself.
00:12:49.84\00:12:51.62
Yes. Yes. Okay, okay.
00:12:51.65\00:12:54.00
Well, I guess my next question
then, we talked about that.
00:12:54.03\00:12:58.66
What about
another food item like--
00:12:58.69\00:13:01.43
I've been hearing a
lot also about selenium.
00:13:01.46\00:13:03.92
And now, is selenium a
part of my supplemental thing
00:13:03.95\00:13:07.25
or is that something separate?
00:13:07.28\00:13:10.33
You're so pretty.
00:13:10.36\00:13:11.86
I just lost my train of thought.
00:13:11.89\00:13:13.40
Oh, yes, selenium is good.
00:13:13.43\00:13:15.86
It's a mineral
and it's very good.
00:13:15.89\00:13:17.95
Now selenium is very
good because number one,
00:13:17.98\00:13:21.31
Selenium has the
highest thyroid gland.
00:13:21.34\00:13:24.76
It has the highest amount
of selenium, the thyroid gland.
00:13:24.79\00:13:30.58
So it seems to reason
that selenium should be
00:13:30.61\00:13:33.20
apart of a thyroid formula
00:13:33.23\00:13:36.32
since the
thyroid has more selenium
00:13:36.35\00:13:38.42
than other gland in the body.
00:13:38.45\00:13:41.27
So having said that,
let's go to the screen.
00:13:41.30\00:13:44.88
Let's talk about selenium.
00:13:44.91\00:13:46.59
So let's go to the
screen at this time.
00:13:46.62\00:13:48.36
The Selenium's Impact.
00:13:48.39\00:13:49.55
This is from the
Clinical Endocrinology.
00:13:49.58\00:13:52.60
It says this.
00:13:52.63\00:13:54.00
"Patients with
Hashimoto's disease,"
00:13:54.03\00:13:56.64
that's the type
of hypothyroidism
00:13:56.67\00:14:00.25
"selenium decreases
anti-thyroid antibody levels
00:14:00.28\00:14:04.91
and improves the
ultrasound structure
00:14:04.94\00:14:08.28
of the thyroid gland."
00:14:08.31\00:14:10.67
Therefore this mineral
selenium really needs to be
00:14:10.70\00:14:13.94
a part of some type
of with thyroid formula
00:14:13.97\00:14:17.22
because that's the mineral,
00:14:17.25\00:14:18.49
that's more
present in the thyroid
00:14:18.52\00:14:20.26
than any other gland, selenium.
00:14:20.29\00:14:22.20
So now we're building a
case, a formula for thyroid.
00:14:22.23\00:14:26.67
We had a kelp,
we've the bladderwrack,
00:14:26.70\00:14:30.30
Ashwagandha, the
mineral selenium.
00:14:30.33\00:14:34.07
I want to add one more.
00:14:34.10\00:14:35.64
There's one
called-- it's the amino acid
00:14:35.67\00:14:38.06
that the body naturally produces
00:14:38.09\00:14:39.45
is called
L-thyroxine, L-thyroxine.
00:14:39.48\00:14:45.61
The body
naturally produces this.
00:14:45.64\00:14:47.29
Okay.
00:14:47.32\00:14:48.35
It converts into,
get this, T4 and T3.
00:14:48.38\00:14:53.74
So the body
naturally builds this.
00:14:53.77\00:14:55.16
So therefore we
want to put in that
00:14:55.19\00:14:57.52
as part of the formula too.
00:14:57.55\00:14:59.16
So we look at any formula,
you will see probably kelp,
00:14:59.19\00:15:03.53
bladderwrack, Ashwagandha,
selenium, L-thyroxine.
00:15:03.56\00:15:10.39
That is the good
formula for the thyroid.
00:15:10.42\00:15:13.60
Now let's look at
the food for the thyroid.
00:15:13.63\00:15:16.10
For selenium
and then we're gonna
00:15:16.13\00:15:17.35
close out with
a hyperthyroidism.
00:15:17.38\00:15:19.10
So let's go to the foods.
00:15:19.13\00:15:20.48
Well, food
contain a lot of selenium.
00:15:20.51\00:15:22.02
Where number one,
I mean, number two
00:15:22.05\00:15:24.37
is not even close, Brazil nuts.
00:15:24.40\00:15:26.11
We're talking about
three ounces, folks.
00:15:26.14\00:15:27.97
We're talking
about 544 micrograms
00:15:28.00\00:15:31.67
of selenium in a Brazil nuts.
00:15:31.70\00:15:34.43
We can also add some seeds too.
00:15:34.46\00:15:38.19
And then light,
Tuna three ounces, 63,
00:15:38.22\00:15:40.67
you got the
Beef, three ounces 35.
00:15:40.70\00:15:42.98
You have the Cod 32.
00:15:43.01\00:15:44.44
So you see there's not
really close to the Brazil nuts
00:15:44.47\00:15:48.44
as far as a
selenium food is concerned.
00:15:48.47\00:15:51.68
I think there's
another seed out there as well.
00:15:51.71\00:15:53.12
Sunflower seeds.
00:15:53.15\00:15:54.18
Sunflower seeds are really up
there high in selenium as well.
00:15:54.21\00:15:56.96
So Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds
00:15:56.99\00:16:00.03
also top two right
there as far as producing
00:16:00.06\00:16:04.59
health food to
have selenium in them.
00:16:04.62\00:16:06.62
So the Brazil nut.
00:16:06.65\00:16:08.44
Now of course, you
know, for those individuals
00:16:08.47\00:16:09.78
who are
vegetarian and even vegans,
00:16:09.81\00:16:12.17
they are other
ones about the beef
00:16:12.20\00:16:13.40
and all the other stuff,
that's not even one of them.
00:16:13.43\00:16:14.92
Yeah, we'll see.
00:16:14.95\00:16:16.01
And a matter of
fact it doesn't have
00:16:16.04\00:16:17.64
that much in the first place.
00:16:17.67\00:16:18.74
I see that. Like
35, 32 micrograms.
00:16:18.77\00:16:21.05
So it doesn't really have
that much of the impact anyway.
00:16:21.08\00:16:23.59
So let's hit then
on the hyperthyroidism.
00:16:23.62\00:16:27.02
Let's finish up with the hyper--
00:16:27.05\00:16:29.24
of course it's not
as parvenus as the hypo.
00:16:29.27\00:16:32.48
Hyper of course is
over active thyroid.
00:16:32.51\00:16:36.05
You tell that by
the typical signs
00:16:36.08\00:16:38.71
of the wide eyes, you know.
00:16:38.74\00:16:41.10
And rapid heart rate, heartbeat.
00:16:41.13\00:16:45.53
You also have
sweating. We have weight loss.
00:16:45.56\00:16:50.16
Just a hyper and
that's eight to one women.
00:16:50.19\00:16:54.50
Hypo is ten to one.
00:16:54.53\00:16:56.84
So both of
these are kind of like
00:16:56.87\00:16:58.26
women dysfunctions,
you know, diseases.
00:16:58.29\00:17:01.42
But the hyper is one
that's not as parvenus to hypo
00:17:01.45\00:17:04.98
but it's out there as well.
00:17:05.01\00:17:06.42
So there's one herb that really
cater to the hyperthyroidism.
00:17:06.45\00:17:12.85
Let's go to screen at this
time and see what that herb is.
00:17:12.88\00:17:16.55
It's called Bugleweed.
00:17:16.58\00:17:18.92
Again in parenthesis
that's the scientific name.
00:17:18.95\00:17:21.78
This is a find of medical
journal called Phytomedicine.
00:17:21.81\00:17:23.96
Is says this,
"These findings confirm
00:17:23.99\00:17:28.45
positive effects of bugleweed
in forms of hyperthyroidism."
00:17:28.48\00:17:35.52
So again that's one herb
00:17:35.55\00:17:37.07
that can be used
for those who are hyper
00:17:37.10\00:17:39.66
because it helps to
slowdown the heart rate.
00:17:39.69\00:17:43.92
It's anti-thyroid.
00:17:43.95\00:17:46.63
So it lessens the T4
amount that the body produces.
00:17:46.66\00:17:49.96
So this is one of the
main herbs for hyperthyroidism.
00:17:49.99\00:17:55.60
Okay. And
mostly no side effects.
00:17:55.63\00:17:57.83
Again you can get that
00:17:57.86\00:17:58.95
as any major health
food stores as well.
00:17:58.98\00:18:02.60
Okay, well, that's
a lot of information.
00:18:02.63\00:18:03.90
And I'm sure is that they
are gonna ask the question.
00:18:03.93\00:18:06.55
Somebody is gonna
call us up and say,
00:18:06.58\00:18:08.12
could you give me
more information on that?
00:18:08.15\00:18:09.36
So you know,
once again feel free
00:18:09.39\00:18:11.15
to get a hold of us
at abundantlivingtv.org
00:18:11.18\00:18:13.62
and we'll be glad to talk more
with you about this subject.
00:18:13.65\00:18:16.32
I know you're asking a
question so we close the time.
00:18:16.35\00:18:18.33
Is she gonna cook anything?
00:18:18.36\00:18:19.47
Yes, we are
going into the kitchen.
00:18:19.50\00:18:21.46
This time we're gonna
do a black soybean salsa.
00:18:21.49\00:18:25.56
And we're gonna do our
homemade tortilla chips.
00:18:25.59\00:18:27.92
So get your
paper and your pencil
00:18:27.95\00:18:30.08
and meet us in the kitchen.
00:18:30.11\00:18:31.84
