Thyroid disease

• Thyroid disruptions: A lack of sleep can affect the thyroid by first affecting the adrenal glands. Over time, sleep deprivation can reduce adrenal gland function and put the body into a “catabolic” state. This essentially means the body is eating away at itself. The body will try to stop catabolism by slowing down the metabolic rate via the thyroid gland. A person with compromised adrenal glands over time could develop hypothyroidism. Plus, your immune system is compromised because of weak…

symptoms of thyroid dysfunction. You can support your thyroid balance by visiting a doctor for tests, then under their supervision, treating it with natural supplements and lifestyle changes. What is the Thyroid? The thyroid is a small-butterfly shaped gland located in front of the neck, below Adam’s apple. The function of the thyroid is to convert iodine from food (with the help of tyrosine, an amino acid) into hormones called thyroxine or T4 and triiodothyronine or T3. A healthy thyroid…

triiodothyronine, T3, T4 is a hormone from the thyroid gland that increases metabolic rates. So this hormone is…

THYROID GLAND:The thyroid gland, located inside the neck, takes iodine from foods and converts it into thyroid hormones. CIRCULATORY SYSTEM: ANTERIOR VENA CAVA: The anterior vena cava drains the body of blood cranially to the heart. POSTERIOR VENA CAVA: The posterior vena cava drains the body of blood caudal to the heart. JUGULAR VEIN: The jugular vein is a group of veins that drain the structures lying in the cranial cavity of blood, until they unite with the subclavian vein. CEPHALIC:Large…

Throughout my research I didn’t come across another remedy that would avoid removal of the thyroid gland. I think there should be more of a neurological approach to solve the problem of the failing thyroid gland rather than removing it completely from the body. Its normal function works by electrical waves as the hypothalamus sends a current to the pituitary gland to control the levels of the hormones being produced. Thinking back to the example of the thermostat. When you turn the thermostat…

The thyroid gland which is located on your neck is responsible for producing hormones in your body, but when the thyroid gland overproduces hormones it's called hypothyroidism. This can be hereditary or developed over time. For me this was passed down to me by my father who suffers from hypothyroidism which means the thyroid gland isn't producing enough hormones. I was 13 years old when I first diagnosed with hypothyroidism. After talking to my doctor I found out that many of my behaviors…

Bullfrog Dissection Background The American bullfrog, Lithobates catesbeianus, is an amphibian about the size of a teacup.(National Geographic, “American Bullfrog”). This dissection explored the anatomy of a bullfrog that had been pithed. Pithing is a technique used to prevent the frog from experiencing any cruel or unusual pain during the dissection. A pithed frog has had its nervous tissue in its brain severed thus allowing it to maintain normal bodily function during the dissection without…

Thyroxine is an iodine-containing, thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland. Along with thyroxine, triiodothyronine is also produced in the thyroid gland. Thyroxine usually is converted into triiodothyronine by enzymes in target cells called deiodinases. Concentrations of thyroxine are usually greater in the body, but triiodothyronine is considered the major thyroid hormone. Thyroxine production is controlled by the pituitary gland. The hypothalamus will secrete thyrotropin-releasing…

circadian rhythm[1]. The pathological state of the disease condition have an observed rhythm for almost all diseases like asthma, cancer , hypertension etc. This pattern is analysed and drug is given according to that rhythm which is the basic principle of chronotherpy. Chronotherapy in clinical practice is an emerging area in health system where the health professionals aim at treating patients according to the biological rhythm of the disease condition. Contrary to the conventional therapy of…

Morgellons disease Morgellons disease is a poorly understood condition which a growing number of physicians believe to be a chronic infectious disease. The disease can be both disabling and disfiguring. The side effects incorporate tingling, gnawing and creeping sensations, "fibers" or strands which rise up out of the skin, skin injuries which run from minor to distorting, joint agony, weakening weariness, changes in insight, memory misfortune, inclination unsettling influence and genuine…
