Synergistic Glandular Complex Beneficial to Both Hypoactive and Hyperactive Thyroid Thyroid Hormones Regulate Growth and Metabolism The thyroid hormones, thyroxin (T4) and Triiodothyronine (T3), regulate growth and metabolism. Every organ, tissue and cell is affected by thyroid hormones. Without them we cannot grow, the brain does not develop properly and bone does not mature. Thyro Plex contains thyroxin-free raw thyroid concentrate along with raw adrenal, pituitary and spleen concentrates which work synergistically to support the thyroid and normalize its function as part of the delicate endocrine system. Kelp is also included in the formula as a rich source of organic iodine. Iodine aids in the development and functioning of the thyroid and is an integral part of thyroxin. Iodine deficiency leads to enlargement of the thyroid gland known as goiter and to hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism Afflicts 40% of American Population According to world renowned thyroid authority Broda O. Barnes, M.D., Ph.D., hypothyroidism afflicts 40% of the American population. The ramifications of abnormal thyroid function extend throughout the body resulting in lowered cellular metabolism with such symptoms as low energy levels, decreased appetite, dry hair and skin, constipation, weight gain, goiter, mental dullness, slurred speech and clumsiness. Hands and feet are generally cold and may feel numb or tingly. Hyperthyroidism Speeds Up All Body Processes Over production of hormones by the thyroid gland is seen primarily in young adult females. One of the early symptoms of this condition is diarrhea.Other symptoms include nervousness, irritability, fatigue, weakness, weight loss, insomnia, fluctuating moods, tremor of the hands, abnormal perspiration, heat intolerance, rapid pulse and neurotic potential. Hyperthyroidism speeds up all body processes. As a result, all nutrients are used up at a greater rate. Dietary intake of all nutrients should be increased until the condition can be normalized. If weight loss has been great, additional protein will be necessary to replace muscle tissue that may have been lost. Particular attention should be paid to the B complex vitamins needed for the metabolism of extra carbohydrates and protein.(3) Thyroxin-Free Glandular Concentrate Provides Growth, Repair and Balancing Factors Glandular concentrates from healthy glands have been found beneficial for growth, repair and balance of weak or malfunctioning glands because they contain naturally occurring minerals, vitamins, enzymes, nucleo-proteins (RNA/DNA) and tissue-activating proteins which are specific to that particular gland.(4) Glandular therapy practitioners believe that raw tissues from animal sources contain intrinsic factors that are distinct from vitamins, minerals, hormones or enzymes. By feeding a patient these substances, many miraculous responses are noted.(5) The DNA of each tissue contains specific amino acids in specific percentages and arrangements. When the blood contains amino acids in the proper balance and quality for a specific gland or tissue, it is easier for that particular gland to attain the amino acids necessary for repair and rebuilding. It is a matter of quality and quantity of available nutrients for any particular tissue or gland. If they are available in the blood qualitatively, the responding tissue or gland can rebuild or repair itself more readily according to the DNA pattern.(4) In 1958 and again in 1972, Dr. A. Kemet documented through radioactive isotope tracing, that factors from glandular tissues are taken up by the bloodstream and absorbed by corresponding glands in the recipient. This research was done with injectable glandulars; however, most doctors believe equal results can be obtained from glandulars in tablet or capsule form.(5) There is evidence that some protein molecules are capable of passing intact through the intestinal system remaining in active form rather than being broken into amino acids for reassembly.(5,6) Glandulars are not hormones. They activate the gland to produce hormones. The entire point of glandular therapy is to normalize the affected gland or tissue, not to stimulate it. Consequently, it makes little difference whether the affected gland is over-active or under-active. Research has shown that individuals taking a glandular supplement containing thyroxin (e.g. whole porcine thyroid) become dependent on an external supply of thyroxin. The thyroid goes on the welfare state, so to speak, and does not produce adequate thyroxin. Therefore, a thyroxin-free glandular concentrate is needed for growth, repair and balance of the gland and for hormone production. This, of course, would not apply to anyone who has had a thyroidectomy or to those who have been on thyroxin supplements for long periods of time. Thyro Plex provides the growth and repair factors needed to normalize thyroid function in either hypoactive or hyperactive thyroid conditions. It is recommended that hyperactive thyroids be supplemented with a multiple mineral in addition to the thyroid support supplement.
