I'm going to start hitting some of the common things that people see online relative to thyroid. Today we're going to be talking about goitrogens. We're probably going to be talking about in the future. We're probably going to be talking about blood pressure. Some seemingly innocuous things like, mercury, like alcohol, like sleep, like cigarette smoking, some of the things like duh, but I think it might be good to go into them for the reasons that you'll find out. If you stay around and watch what we're going to present to you, but today we're going to do goitrogens. And the reason we're going to do that is not unlike iodine, which we've already done for those of you who are the iodine thyroid people just know not for Hashimoto's, you can watch that presentation. We got, we had a couple of them on online on powerhealthtalk.com and with over the supporting references and all that. Goitrogens kind of fall in the same category. Goitrogens are vegetables and there is a ton of them and I'm not going to go over all of them. There's kohlrabi, there's spinach, there's broccoli, there's collar greens, cauliflower, all the things that are good for you. Were discovered back in 1928 to stop iodine, which is one of the reasons I thought of doing this cause we just did the iodine and it stops iodine from going into the thyroid. Now here, here's how your thyroid hormone is made.

There is a, first, the brain tells the thyroid there's not enough thyroid hormone in the system.

Something called thyroid stimulating hormone, so that hormone from the pituitary gland stimulates the thyroid to make hormone. And it stimulates this thyroid peroxidase enzyme that all of you have measured to see if you have Hashimoto's. That enzyme then, and there's other things with hydrogen peroxide and stuff, and I'm gonna keep this really simple okay. So then that enzyme helps to suck iodine out of your bloodstream and attach it to one molecule of something called tyrosine and tyrosine is T and then it's T4. Well, the 4 are 4 atoms of iodine. So T4 is one protein called amino acid called tyrosine and these are all iodine. So goitrogens were discovered in 1928 to block iodine from coming in and thus it would cause you to make less T4 and then it would cause your TSH to go up and then you'd be hypo thyroid cause you don't have enough iodine coming in to make the thyroid hormones. That was kind of the Holy grail of alternative medicine for years.

I did a lot of George Goodheart's work with muscle testing and supplementation back in the early eighties, like 1980 and 1985, 1986 and that was it. You know, it was like you tested the person's thyroid, their arm went down, you gave them tyrosine and iodine. You know what, most times it worked. This is the salient point on that, we've changed since then. Hashimoto's was not some sort of an epidemic, which is what it is right now. I was reading about it the other day and it's crazy. . It's being estimated that possibly a third of the country has Hashimoto's. It's been established that 10 to 15% have it for sure. But there's something called silent Hashimoto's and they did a study where they just tested a bunch of people who didn't have any thyroid symptoms.
