The thyroid gland, which is situated in your lower throat area produces hormones that affect every major organ and metabolism of every single cell & has a major influence on hormonal function. It is very closely related to adrenal exhaustion which is often the root cause of thyroid gland imbalances. The adrenal glands control the hormonal balance in the body in close association with the master gland of the body. The master gland is known as the hypothalamus. When the adrenals are burned out they then drain others parts of the body too.
Metabolism is the key function of the thyroid gland. Metabolism is the rate at which your body uses up [Read more...]

Are you suffering from this?
The answer maybe yes and you may not even know it! I am going to explain this in non-medical and non-technical terms. Think of it this way, if you put fuel into your car and a few seconds later you hear it coming out somewhere…Uh Oh!…you know something is wrong!!!. What will you do, stop the pump, stop filling up and go have a look. If there is a leak you are not going to continue putting the fuel in.

With the onset of a cold and sore throat, it is important to give your immune system every chance possible to fight the infection.

Last week I outlined about the functioning of the thyroid gland and many other related parts of the body. Living with someone who has some or many of the symptoms of thyroid malfunction can be very frustrating especially if they are unaware they have a thyroid problem in the first place. Through my treatments I can test where the imbalance is and if there are others factors draining the adrenals, the master gland etc.
Rebalancing is purely natural and does not involve taking medication for the rest of your life. Sometimes medication is essential, many other times it is only needed to reboot the thyroid short term, and long term medication Is [Read more...]

You may have an imbalance of fungi in the body, candida is just one type and is very common. Fungal infections are very common causes of the above symptoms in the body.
