Healer: William Anthony, Medical Medium - Notes from His Thyroid Seminar 02/25/15
Notes
from the Teleseminar from Anthony William, Medical Medium on Adrenal Fatigue
and Thyroid Issues, 02/25/15. He is very knowledgeable about herbs and other
supplements. He is a health medium and is dedicated his life to this. He
charges about $400 for his initial consultation.
Top of Form
·
Thyroid Issues result in: weight gain, heart
palpitations, brain fog.
·
Thyroid conditions are not detected on tests
until years after these issues develop. He said blood tests are not accurate.
In fact on other health summits, the doctors said that the usual tests used to
detect thyroid problems are not effective. You need different kinds of tests
done.
·
Thyroid medications are not for your thyroid.
Years later people develop thyroid nodules. The thyroid gets worse over time
because the thyroid was not being addressed or helped. We have to be proactive
and help that thyroid heal.
·
Thyroid goes hypo (slow) because of toxins.
Heavy metals get into the thyroid. Dioxins, plastics get into the thyroid. The
thyroid is an electrical sponge that loves to pull in toxins. Pathogens (a low
grade virus) get into the thyroid, a virus issue.
·
Hashimoto's is a term for: no one knows what's
wrong with your thyroid. It is a term for inflammation. Inflammation is a grey
word, over used. Anti-inflammatories are not enough to get well. Inflammation
is a fraction of what is going wrong. Poor foods feed pathogens, little bugs.
·
Candida is a pathogen that gets fed by fried
food and sugar.
·
Heavy metals are fed by poor foods as well.
·
Toxins and pathogens get trapped in the
thyroid and cause thyroid issues.
·
Fibromyalgia and Fatigue is caused by Thyroid
issues.
·
Hashimotos and Hypothyroid is a combination of
nano-toxins and viral bugs trapped in the thyroid. Thyroid medicine will not
restore your thyroid and bring it back.
·
Products good for thyroid: barley grass juice
powder. It is barley grass juice that was dehydrated. It gets into the thyroid
and binds onto poisons. Chorella and spirulina removes metals. But barley grass
juice powders removes metals in the thyroid.
·
Vimergy has barley grass juice powder. He is
not an affiliate.
·
Detoxodine
is a good product that he recommends.
·
Hashimotos patients should not use iodine, so
it is said by doctors. But he thinks Iodine is anti-viral, anti-pathogenic and
absolutely necessary to minimize inflammation.
·
Hair loss, weight gain, fatigue are symptoms
of thyroid issues. Can all get better.
·
Celery
Juice good for the thyroid.
·
Goitrogenic Foods (foods that suppress the
thyroid) is all a myth.
1. Kale (detox plant),
2. Cabbage (sulfur is antiseptic to knock
out pathogens),
3. Broccoli,
4. Cauliflower,
5. Collard Greens are all needed to heal
the thyroid.
6. Baby kale, micro greens with Kale are
really powerful to restoring your thyroid.
7. Antioxidants in fruits are needed.
8. Grapes are good for detox.
9. Fruit sugars are natural sugars and
different than other kinds of sugars. They have antioxidants that have not been
discovered yet.
10. Apples are a powerful antioxidant. An
apple a day keeps the doctor away -- there is a reason for that.
·
Vimergy sells a Chaga powder. It is a
mushroom, popular now. This one is bioavailable that pulls and draws impurities
out of the thyroid.
·
Weight Loss: Once we pull the thyroid out of
Hypothyroid can lose weight easily. Usually those patients have a sluggish liver.
A liver cleanse is needed. The liver is part of the weight gain process.
·
Liver detox herbs: Milk Thistle he doesn't
think is that good. Lower the fat levels in the diet. He thinks the fat levels
kill the pancreas and the liver. He thinks the trend on eating fats is a belief
system and a fad at the moment. [Note: Dr. Esselstyn is a cardiologist teaches
that all fats irritate the endothelium, the inner most lining of the heart. He
is the father of Rip Esselstyn that wrote the book on the Engine 2 Diet.] Fats
from milk, cheese, butter, eggs have to be reduced. Then you give your liver a
break. Avocado oil is fine. Fat from plants is a little different, easier to
digest. (See: http://www.dresselstyn.com/site/faq/)
·
Asparagus
is good to purge fat out of the liver.
·
Technology is not caught up with thyroid
testing. The test was developed a long time ago. Nothing comes up on the test
for so many women. But so many women have thyroid problems even decades before
they are detected on tests.
·
Sweet
potatoes is a great food to help the liver come back.
·
Adrenal Fatigue: 85% of the US has had adrenal
fatigue at some point in their live. Some last weeks, months and years. You can
have a mild version where you feel okay but at 11 AM you crash and are
exhausted. Some people can last until the afternoon then they get sleepy. Some
people drag all day long and come alive at night time. These are all signs of
adrenal fatigue.
·
Things
that cause adrenal fatigue: difficulty in the work place, betrayal of our trust
in relationships. All of these things are the price of adrenaline. These events
cost our adrenaline to burn out.
· We need to calm the coritsol down. We still
experience break ups in relationships, difficulty in business. Adrenaline is
like battery acid. It is very acidic. If you squeezed an adrenal gland out and
let it touch your skin, it would burn. It likes to hit the brain.
·
We need to restore damages done from adrenal
issues, damages done from post adrenaline running through the body. Don't run
low on glucose. People tend to go past 2 hours without eating.
·
We
need to graze to restore adrenals. We need glucose (sugar). We are talking
about natural sugars, not bad sugars. Fruit sugars are fine. We are not talking
about white sugar, candy, and processed foods.
·
We use adrenaline when we eat, sleep and
dream. It's not just when you are stressed out. So when you have severe adrenal
fatigue, the only thing they could do is go to the bath room. That means they
are so low on energy they cannot move. It happens. Glucose is critical, eating
and grazing.
·
If there is a fad or diet or trend that
doesn't believe in grazing that is wrong. If you have adrenal fatigue you have
to graze, you have to eat every 2 hours. [Most endocrinologists for treatment
of diabetes do agree with this.]
·
Adrenaline has all to do with this, and the
liver gets beaten down from this also. From too much adrenaline.
·
Celery Juice : Do 16 oz a day. Do as much as
you can.
·
Snacks, apples, grapes, celery sticks,
cucomber slices. They all have mineral salts, potassium that support the
adrenals that help them to function and bring them back.
·
You can have animal proteins but continue to
eat every 1.5 to 2 hours.
·
Astralagus
(herb & root) : It's a must for adrenals. Amazing for adrenals in bringing
them back. Vimergy has it.
·
Vitamin
B12 is a must. It is critical for adrenals. But taken with all the other foods
works. It may not work alone.
·
Look out for Adrenal Glandular Supplements -
they do damage and effect the thyroid poorly. They are a mild steroid They make
you lose hair, make you tired and drain your liver.
·
Licorice
Root Tea good for adrenals. Drink it every day. You make it a religion, a
process you do every day.
·
Slice tomato, cucomber, celery stick, dates. Dates
have a lot of minerals. Minerals save the adrenals. Micro minerals are in
dates.
·
Potatoes
are good for you. The butter, cream, milk and cheese that gave the potato a bad
rap. They have L-Lysine that helps your thyroid. They have potassium to keep
you from losing your adrenals under stress. This is why people gobble down
French Fries. You don't want French Fries. Steam the potato, boil it or bake it
to heal the adrenals, recover them and restore them.
·
Supplements: Doctors don't know a lot about
adrenals or adrenal fatigue. Licorice Root is the best. Drink Licorice Root Tea
daily. Astralagus is next (Vimergy is potent). Vitamin B12 every day. Don't
take B12 shots. People are too sensitive to be doing injections. You want it
orally.
·
Insomnia is a form of Adrenal Fatigue. Yes.
·
Sex Drive goes away as a symptom of Adrenal
Fatigue.
·
It takes adrenaline to have sex. It takes
adrenaline to have a sex drive. Women's bodies have an auto pilot that protects
them in child birth. Because you need a lot of adrenaline to give birth. This
is why women have post partum depression because they don't have enough
adrenaline to give birth.
·
It takes adrenaline to sleep. You don't sleep
well when you don't have enough adrenaline to sleep.
Stay off of dairy products: cheese, milk,
butter. They don't help thyroid, they don't help adrenals. Minimize eggs
because they are responsible for growing thyroid nodules.

Vitamin B5 Deficiency: Causes and Symptoms - By Dr. Peter Osborn from Web Wellness University
These are my notes from Dr. Osborn's video on YouTube.
* Dr. Peter Osborn from Web Wellness University
Link: Dr. Peter Osborn on Symptoms of Vitamin B5 Deficiency
* B5 is Pantothenic Acid: Fuel for the adrenal glands, helps adrenal glands produce cortisol, helps to stimulate the adrenal glands ability to produce a chemical to fight stress, helps to stimulate adrenal glands, helps us cope with allergies, helps us create antibodies (IGG, IGA etc) to improve our immune system to defend from all the different types of allergenic responses (environmental, viruses, bacteria, parasites)
* Chemical made by B5: Acetyl Coa / Acetyl Choline: primary nerve chemical allows our nervous to communicate with organs (heart, lung, spleen, kidney, liver), nerves communicate with out muscles (neuropathy).
* Symptoms: Deficiency causes adrenal problems, nerve system problems, reduces bodies ability to make antibodies, burning feet, head aches, inability to deal with stress, burning feet neuropathy, headaches, gastro-intestinal pain, grey hair
* Test: Lymphocyte proliferation for Vitamin B5
* Foods high in B5 is found in all foods, but we can become deficient because of losing our ability to cope with stress. Meat, milk, fish eggs have highest content of B5.
* Outside of this video, the following adaptogenic herbs have been helpful with stress such as:
* Ashwaganda, Astragalus, Reishi Mushrooms, Schisandra, and various forms of Ginseng.

Vitamin B1 Deficiency: Causes and Symptoms - By Dr. Peter Osborn from Web Wellness University
These are my notes from Dr. Osborn's video.
* Dr. Peter Osborn from Web Wellness University
Link: Dr. Peter Osborn on Symptoms of Vitamin B1 Deficiency
*B1 is Thiamin = necessary for maintenance of nerve cells
* Deficiency is common in gastrointestinal problems, inability to concentrate, depression, generalized nerve damage that can trigger a seizure disorder.
* Deficiency effects blood levels for chemicals lactate and pyruvate leads to increased acidic build-up, muscle pain, fatigue, reduced energy capacity, muscle damage in the heart (congestive heart failure)
* Deficiency can cause edema, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, hypertension.
* Doctors prescribe diuretics for these conditions but they prevents Vitamin B1 from getting into the Heart tissue
* Putting patients on anti-seizure medication can cause a Vitamin B deficiency
* B1 Deficiency Disease = Beri Beri effects your heart and nervous tissue
* Chemical made from B1 = Acetyl Choline (nervous chemical)

Toxicity in Personal Care Products - By Deanna Minich, PhD
These are my notes dated 02/19/15 from the presentation by Deanna Minich, PhD, CNS, RYT
* Link to Health Summit: Toxicity - Personal Care Recording
The five organs of detox are: the skin, lungs, kidney, liver and gut.
See research on the EWG Site: Environmental Working Group
See research on Safe Cosmetics.Org site: SafeCosmetics.org
Avoid common allergens in personal care products: BROWS (Barley, Rye, Oat, Wheat and Spelt)
Avoid Wheat, Soy and Corn products
Avoid Vitamin E products because they often contain wheat.
Avoid oat products because they can be allergens.
Barley products are labeled as the Latin name, "Hordeum Vulgare"
Look for "GT" Gluten Free products
Avoid Parabens: Anti-microbial preservatives typically found in deodorant and they are absorbed through skin and have been associated with certain types of tumors or cancers.
Look for "Paraben Free" products
Avoid Phthalates: Studies show that Phthalates are linked to reproductive disordered, and development of allergies. Mani-Pedi products contain Dibutyl-Phthalates. Phthalates are found in perfumes, lotions, laquers, varnishes, coatings on time release medicine, and Type 3 plastic packaging of personal care products. Phthalates can evaporate off flooring and wall coverings. Most Americans tested by the Center for Disease Control have metabolites of multiple phthalates in their urine. We have more pollution indoors than we have outside. So, try to get outside for fresh air.
Avoid BPA (Bisphenyl-A) and Monoethyl Phathalates: They are xeno estrogens and they cause elevated breast density.
Avoid Polyethylene Glycol and Polyethelene Compounds: They are frequently contaminated with other compounds like 1,4 dioxane which the US Government considers as a carcinogen and can readily penetrate the skin.
Avoid Triclosan: Bad for the aquatic environment. Used in anti-microbial products. Over use of this preservative may promotes the development of bacterial resistances. Can contain pesticide residues. Found in soap bars and shampoos.
Avoid Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS): Found in tooth paste and shampoos and body washes. A detergent that tends to be contaminated with other metabolites that aren't very good. It can cause irritation, organ toxicity, reproductive problems, endocrine disruption, increased cancer risks.
Avoid FD&C Color and Pigments: Red Dye # 40, Yellow Dye, Red # 33 are all throughout foods and personal care products. Reduce or eliminate dyes. See A to Z Guide to Food Additives : Never Eat What You Can't Pronounce by Deanna Minich, PhD She plans to write a guide to personal care additives as well.
Avoid Hair Dyes: The darker dyes are the worst. Pregnant women should avoid all hair dyes. Try to apply a petroleum based ointment to the scalp prior to application of the hair dye. Reduce the time to the exposure to hair dye.
Avoid Coal Tar in Hair Dyes. It is contained in 71% of hair dyes and is a by product of coal processing and is a human carcinogen according to the National Toxicology Program and International Agency for Research.
Avoid DMDM Hydantoin: A preservative from Japan, may cause immune related issues.
Avoid Formadehyde: Found in hair dyes and laundry detergent. It is used as an embalming agent. It is a preservative. It's found in Round-Up Ready Corn. It will wreck DNA and cause cancer and cause reproductive problems. See Dr. Stephanie Seneff : On Formaldehyde (Listen @ 15 minutes)
Avoid Phenyl Methyl Pyrazolone: An agent that comes from coal tar. Can cause head aches, cough, irritation, shortness of breath. Can cause a higher risk of learning difficulties to fetuses.
Avoid Resorcinol: It causes thyroid problems. The US Government regulates it in the work place but not in personal care products.
Avoid Bronopol: It is an anti-microbial. It can cause irritation and develop allergies. It releases formadehyde (it's called a formaldehyde releaser). 20% of cosmetics contain formadelhyde releasers. See EWG : On Bronopol & Formaldehyde Releasers
Avoid Fragrances: They have an average of 14 undisclosed chemicals on fragrance labels. They can cause us to react. An alternative is to use essential oils.
Avoid BHA/BHT: These are preservatives. BHA is listed in the State of California as a carcinogen. The accumulated effects of using products with BHA/BHT can cause cancer.
Avoid Benzalkonium Chloride: It's a preservative and sensitizer for people with astham and eczema. The Cosmetic Safety Database states that this is an immune, skin and respiratory toxicative. It has mutative effects. This could be in skin anti-septics, hand sanitizers, and wet wipes.
See U.S. Food and Drug Administration : Cosmetics
* Alternatives: (1) use soap and water; or (2) dilute tea tree oil in water, add witch hazel, lavendar, aloe vera gel and Vitamin E
Avoid Oxybenzone: Linked to irritation, sensitization and allergies, hormone disruptor. In a study of over 400 pregnant women baby girls were born at lower weights and boys were born with higher weights. This is contained in sun screen.
Avoid Aluminum: Found in deodorants, in baking soda products also.
Avoid Chlorinated Paper Products: Toilet paper and sanitary napkins
Things to Do:
Studies: A study done by the University of Washington states that women who die their hair have a 50% risk of developing non-Hodgskins Lymphoma with prolonged use of dark hair dyes (20 years or more).

Phthalates are found in perfumes, lotions, laquers, varnishes, coatings on time release medicine, and Type 3 plastic packaging of personal care products. Phthalates can evaporate off flooring and wall coverings. Most Americans tested by the Center for Disease Control have metabolites of multiple phthalates in their urine. We have more pollution indoors than we have outside. So, try to get outside for fresh air.
Avoid BPA (Bisphenyl-A) and Monoethyl Phathalates: They are xeno estrogens and they cause elevated breast density.
Avoid Polyethylene Glycol and Polyethelene Compounds: They are frequently contaminated with other compounds like 1,4 dioxane which the US Government considers as a carcinogen and can readily penetrate the skin.
Avoid Triclosan: Bad for the aquatic environment. Used in anti-microbial products. Over use of this preservative may promotes the development of bacterial resistances. Can contain pesticide residues. Found in soap bars and shampoos.
Avoid Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS): Found in tooth paste and shampoos and body washes. A detergent that tends to be contaminated with other metabolites that aren't very good. It can cause irritation, organ toxicity, reproductive problems, endocrine disruption, increased cancer risks.

See A to Z Guide to Food Additives : Never Eat What You Can't Pronounce by Deanna Minich, PhD She plans to write a guide to personal care additives as well.
Avoid Hair Dyes: The darker dyes are the worst. Pregnant women should avoid all hair dyes. Try to apply a petroleum based ointment to the scalp prior to application of the hair dye. Reduce the time to the exposure to hair dye.
Avoid Coal Tar in Hair Dyes. It is contained in 71% of hair dyes and is a by product of coal processing and is a human carcinogen according to the National Toxicology Program and International Agency for Research.
Avoid DMDM Hydantoin: A preservative from Japan, may cause immune related issues.
Avoid Formadehyde: Found in hair dyes and laundry detergent. It is used as an embalming agent. It is a preservative. It's found in Round-Up Ready Corn. It will wreck DNA and cause cancer and cause reproductive problems. See Dr. Stephanie Seneff : On Formaldehyde (Listen @ 15 minutes)

Avoid Resorcinol: It causes thyroid problems. The US Government regulates it in the work place but not in personal care products.
Avoid Bronopol: It is an anti-microbial. It can cause irritation and develop allergies. It releases formadehyde (it's called a formaldehyde releaser). 20% of cosmetics contain formadelhyde releasers. See EWG : On Bronopol & Formaldehyde Releasers
Avoid Fragrances: They have an average of 14 undisclosed chemicals on fragrance labels. They can cause us to react. An alternative is to use essential oils.
Avoid BHA/BHT: These are preservatives. BHA is listed in the State of California as a carcinogen. The accumulated effects of using products with BHA/BHT can cause cancer.
Avoid Benzalkonium Chloride: It's a preservative and sensitizer for people with astham and eczema. The Cosmetic Safety Database states that this is an immune, skin and respiratory toxicative. It has mutative effects. This could be in skin anti-septics, hand sanitizers, and wet wipes.
