Nuclear Radiation and Your Thyroid

March 17th, 2011

Like any caring person, right now our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the tragedy that has hit Japan and that has so profoundly affected all of humanity so deeply.

It is as if we are caught in a nightmare that will never end or stop. For elderly Japanese in particular with the memories of World War 2, this must be like the end of the world all over again.

As conditions worsen, rumor and panic are becoming heightened and more widespread. Germany just shut down all its nuclear power plants. The British yesterday told all their nationals to “get out of Japan NOW before the situation gets any worse.”

To help you make sense of what is fact and what is fiction, what the danger really is, how likely a “worst case scenario” is, and how to be prepared if we really do experience nuclear fallout and how to prepare yourself ahead of time “just in case”, please read this article.

And to help those in the epi-center of this disaster right now, please stop everything for sixty seconds and say a prayer that peace will come soon on wings from up high.

The China Syndrome

Most of the near-hysteria about this nuclear meltdown is in what is called “The China Syndrome”. Hollywood made a movie about it, the scenario being that the intense heat from the reactor would burn a hole all the way through the Earth to China.

Well, that just won’t happen. But the radiation will get into the atmosphere and it will get picked up by the trade winds and transported all over the globe. That’s how the world works.

The bottom line is that even if there is a meltdown in one of the Japanese reactors, it is unlikely to breach containment in an upward direction. The containment around nuclear reactors is really, really strong. In the United States they must be strong enough to withstand the impact of a fully loaded passenger airliner without rupture – for obvious reasons.

“Unlikely” however does not mean “impossible.” There is some degree of risk, no matter how small, that significant amounts of radiation may leak from one or more of the Japanese reactors, make its way into the upper atmosphere, and ultimately drop down on the rest of the world.

With radiation, small amounts of exposure can have significant health consequences – particularly for the weak, the vulnerable. The particularly dangerous forms of radiation are iodine-131/134, strontium-90, and cesium-137.

Your Thyroid is the Most Vulnerable

In a nuclear radiation disaster, even a “scare”, there are 3 things to do:

  • Protect your thyroid, the most vulnerable organ in your body.
  • Remove as much of the radiation as possible from your body, immediately.
  • Protect your DNA from genetic mutation.

My Thyroid Recovery Miracle

January 22nd, 2010

Andrea Billewicz

During a routine physical exam in April 2004, my doctor noticed that I had an enlarged thyroid.  He sent me to get a sonogram to get a better look and a few days later it showed two nodules or growths; one on each side of my thyroid gland.  One was 1.2cm, the other just over twice that size.

I was then scheduled for a biopsy to check for cancerous cells and of course, the “c” word scared the heck out of me!

The results of the biopsy were inconclusive; the pathologist called them “suspicious.”  I called my doctor and he said they could be benign follicular nodules or malignant tumors. To be safe, he recommended surgery to remove the growths  and part, or possibly all, of my thyroid gland. He said that the only way to find out for sure if they were cancerous was to perform a tissue biopsy after removal.

“But don’t you worry,” my doctor said, “if they are malignant, surgically removing them will 100% cure the thyroid cancer.  And if they turn out to be benign, then it’s no big deal.  We’ll put you on synthetic hormone replacement medicine for the rest of your life, and you’ll be just fine.”

He gave me the name of a surgeon and urged me to schedule surgery to remove my thyroid. I was afraid. The doctor is always right, isn’t he?  Nobody wants to mess around when he spouts words like “malignant” or “cancer.”  I did as I was told and got on the phone right away and scheduled surgery.

But I Wasn’t Ready to Cut Out My Thyroid on a Hunch

Fortunately a small, but saner part of my mind totally balked at the willy-nilly chopping out of my God-given thyroid gland, on the unsubstantiated hunch that it may have malignant tumors.

The Infinitesimal Difference between an Idiot and an Einstein

January 19th, 2010

There is an old medical saying that just a few grains of Thyroid hormone can make the difference between an idiot and an Einstein.

Centuries ago we would receive Iodine in our food supply, but sadly this is no longer true (except maybe in Japan) and is the reason why Thyroid problems are now epidemic.

It’s a tragic medical fact that a just a few microscopic grains of Thyroid hormone are all that separates super-intelligence from abject cretinism.

In-between these two “poles” of thinking ability, lies an eternity of medical and mental problems such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD), Autism, learning difficulties, Mono/Bipolar Disorder and slow thinking.

The Thyroid might be the most under-appreciated organ in our entire body. And crucial to intelligence formation.

In Bangladesh, the rate of cretinism was once over 65% of all newborn children, until a massive humanitarian program was initiated that provided high Iodine-rich foods, supplements and table salt to the entire country. In less than 5 years, the rates of cretinism dropped by over 80% with no drug intervention needed. (Not that any drug could hope to be of any help, anyway.)

Iodine is the miraculous mineral element that fuels the Thyroid, even to a just-created fetus inside a mother’s womb.

“My Horse’s Thyroid Should be on Oprah, too”

January 15th, 2010

Did you read last week’s story, My Thyroid Should be on Oprah, sharing how we turned around Kimmy Keech’s thyroid problem and got her off the dangerous and artificial ‘Synthroid’ thyroid drug?

Don’t miss a word of today’s story about how we fixed a wonderful horse’s thyroid, using exactly the same protocol. “Allure” is the pride and joy of Linda Parelli, the famous woman of “Parelli Natural Horsemanship” and her husband Pat.

Visit their website www.parelli.com and learn about the wonderful and ceaseless good these rare souls do every day for the horses of America through their holistic training methods.

People ask me all the time,

“Will your formulas work on animals?”

Yes indeed. We are all mammals and God’s creatures. All of my formulas are created with His knowledge and instruction. Read Linda’s story below and marvel at this wonderful power.

“My Thyroid Should be on Oprah”

January 8th, 2010

Sluggish Thyroid Syndrome (hypothyroidism) is perhaps the most common hormonal malfunction in America today. Women everywhere seem to suffer from it – from your mother, wife, aunty or girlfriend – even Oprah Winfrey.

The multi-billion dollar super drug “Synthroid®” is a disaster to my way of thinking. I’ve implored patients for years to seek a natural alternative. I got so tired of talking about it that I sat down and created a Super Natural Thyroid Formula of my very own, Thyroid Energy, to show the world what Mother Nature can do with her pantry of secrets.

Let one of my wonderful patients, a young single mother from our church here locally, who was going “nowhere” with Synthroid, tell you her story.

Kimmy & Drake Keech

Kimmy Keech

“Dear Dr. G.,

I had to tell you of my progress so far. I have been on Synthroid for 2 years, and the doctor says my levels are normal on the drug, but the past year I had started feeling worse instead of better. I felt so fatigued for over 6 months and nothing was helping.

Forty-five minutes after taking my first dose of Thyroid Energy I felt better!

Three days after taking the Thyroid Energy, I found that I just felt better over-all. I had more energy, I was no longer sleeping 12-14 hours, and even my mood was better. In fact, I haven’t even had a nap during the day since being on this product, and that is huge deal for me!
