Treating Thyroid Problems with NAET

In our office, hypothyroid and hyperthyroid problems are helped immensely by balancing the body with respect to the thyroid gland, the thyroid hormones and desensitization to the endocrine disruptors. Issues with the other glands can be helped similarly.

Endocrine Disruptors

Endocrine disruptors affect the hypothalamus, pineal gland, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, adrenal glands, and prostate glands.

An endocrine disruptor stimulates or inhibits the endocrine system, which results in increased or decreased amounts of hormone being produced. In some cases, even very small amounts of a disruptor may have a detectable effect.

They disrupt the normal function of endocrine systems in three different ways:

  1. They can mimic a natural hormone and lock onto a receptor within the cell. The disruptor may give a signal stronger than the natural hormone, or a signal that occurs at the “wrong” time.
  2. They can bind to a receptor within a cell and thus prevent the correct hormone from binding. The normal signal then fails to occur and the body fails to respond properly.
  3. The disruptors can interfere or block the way natural hormones and receptors are made or controlled. This interference or blockage may occur only if relatively large doses of the substance are present.

Substances that have been reported as potential endocrine disruptors include:

  • Incineration, landfill
  • Polychlorinated compounds (from industrial production or by-products of mostly banned substances)
  • Polychlorinated dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls
  • Agricultural runoff / atmospheric transport
  • Organochlorine pesticides (found in insecticides, many now phased out)
  • DDT, dieldrin, lindane
  • Pesticides currently in use
  • Atrazine, trifluralin, permethrin
  • Harbours
  • Organotins (found in antifoulants used to paint the fulls of ships)
  • Tributyltin
  • Industrial and municipal effluents
  • Alkylphenols (surfactants — certain kinds of detergents used for removing oil and their metabolites)
  • Nonylphenol
  • Industrial effluent
  • Phthalates (found in placticizers)
  • Dibutyl phthalate, butylbenzyl phthalate
  • Municipal effluent
  • Natural Hormones (produced naturally by animals)
  • Synthetic steroids (found in contraceptives)
  • Estradiol, estrone, and testosterone
  • Eethynyl estradiol
  • Pulp mill effluents
  • Phytoestrogens (found in plant material)
  • Isoflavones, lignans, coumestans

If you suffer from an over or under active thyroid we recommend you give these treatments a try!
