Special ReportTreating and Beating Low Thyroid

From Dr. Rodger Murphree

Your Thyroid GlandEvery cell in the body depends upon thyroidhormones for regulation of their metabolism!

The thyroid gland is located in the front of the neck andis attached to the lower part of the voice-box (or larynx)and to the upper part of the windpipe (or trachea).

The main function of the thyroid gland is to takeiodine, found in many foods, and convert it into thesethyroid hormones:

1. Thyroxine, also called (T4)

2. Triiodothyronine, also called (T3)

Thyroid cells are the only cellsin the body which can absorb iodine

* Thyroid cells combine iodine with the amino acid tyrosine to make T3 and T4.These hormones go into the blood stream, and throughout the body, where theycontrol how calories are “burned” to create cellular energy.

As you can imagine, if this process is not working correctly,you are going to have problems. Problems such as low energylevels, weight gain, and more.

Thyroid OutputThe normal thyroid gland produces T4 and T3 in the following ratios:

Around 80% of the hormones produced by the thyroid is T4Around 20% of the hormones produced by the thyroid is T3

REMEMBER THIS! This is very important concept as you’ll see later on in thisreport…

T3 possesses about four times the hormone "strength" as T4.

Ok, got that? The hormone that makes up 20% of the normal thyroid output (T3) isfour times as strong as the hormone that makes up 80% of the output (T4).

Other Organs Which Influence the Thyroid GlandHormones produced by two other organs influence the thyroid gland:

1. The pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain, produces the thyroidstimulating hormone (TSH).

2. The hypothalamus, a small part of the brain above the pituitary, which producesthyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH).

What do these two organs do?When the level of thyroid hormones (T3 & T4) drop too low, TRH, from thehypothalamus, is released, stimulating the pituitary gland to release TSH, which thenstimulates the thyroid gland to produce more hormones. So these two organs worktogether to act as a “backup” system to make sure that the thyroid hormones stay at theproper level in your body.

This is known as the Hypothalamic - Pituitary - Thyroid Axis

The Thyroid Acts as Your Body’s FurnaceOne can imagine the thyroid gland as a furnace and the pituitary gland as the thermostat.Thyroid hormones are like heat in your house. When the heat gets back to the thermostat,it turns the thermostat off. As the room cools (thyroid hormone levels drop), thethermostat turns back on (TSH increases) and the furnace produces more heat (thyroidhormones). Keep this concept of heat regulation in mind as I explain further on inthis report how thyroid hormones control your body temperature, which isnormally 98.6 degrees F.

Page 3: Special Report

Why is iodine so important, Where do we get it?Iodine plays an important role in the function of the thyroid gland. It is the chiefcomponent of thyroid hormones, and is essential for their production.

Iodine is obtained from the water we drink and the food we eat.

If there is little iodine available in our diet, insufficient thyroid hormone is producedby the thyroid and the person develops symptoms of low thyroid function.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW IF YOURBODY IS LOW IN IODINE.Please review the iodine self-test below to see if you’re low in iodine.

Clues You May Have Hypothyroid/Low Thyroid

With regard to infancy and childhood… a high birth weight of over 8 lbs. suggests lowthyroid. Also, frequent ear infections, colds, pneumonia, bronchitis, or other infectionsmay be signs of low thyroid function.

Problems may show up in school, including difficulty concentrating, abnormalfatigue--especially having difficulty getting up in the morning and poor athleticability. These all suggest a low thyroid function.

Often, adolescent girls suffer from menstrual irregularity, premenstrual syndrome,and painful periods.

Throughout life, disorders associated with hypothyroidism include headaches, migraines,sinus infections, post-nasal drip, visual disturbances, frequent respiratory infections,difficulty swallowing, heart palpitations, indigestion, gas, flatulence, constipation,diarrhea, frequent bladder infections, infertility, reduced libido and sleep disturbances,with the person sometimes requiring up to12 or more hours of sleep at times, sometimesworking all week then crashing all weekend.

Other conditions include intolerance to cold and/or heat, poor circulation,Raynaud's Syndrome, which involves the hands and feet turning white in responseto cold, allergies, asthma, heart problems, benign and malignant tumors, cysticbreasts and ovaries, fibroids, dry skin, acne, high cholesterol, anxiety, depression,poor mental clarity, high blood pressure, fluid retention, loss of memory,depression, mood swings, fears, and joint and muscle pain.

As far as family history, all of the above disorders can be seen in family members. Particular emphasis should be placed on hypothyroid conditions in parents or siblings.

Page 4: Special Report

The physical examination often reveals the hair to be dry, brittle, and thinning and,the outer third of the eyebrows is often missing.

One often finds swelling under the eyes. The tongue is often thick and swollen. The skinmay be rough, dry, and flaky, and show evidence of acne. The skin may also have ayellowish tinge due to high carotene in it. Nails tend to be brittle and break easily. Thethyroid gland may be enlarged. The patient is more often overweight, but may also beunderweight. Hands and feet are frequently cold to the touch.

BUT MY DOCTOR SAYS I’M NORMAL!

Do you have Euthyroid Syndrome? A euthyroid patient willhave normal blood work but STILL suffer from low thyroid.

Euthyroid is a medical term for patients who have normal thyroid blood tests but have allthe symptoms associated with hypothyroidism; fatigue, low metabolism, headaches, etc.

Euthyroid patients often relate that they, and sometimes even their doctors, suspected athyroid problem only to have their blood work come back "normal."

And here’s the problem…Most physician's won'trecommend thyroid replacement therapy if the bloodtests come back "normal."

TRUTH IS… Blood Tests for Thyroid Function are Often Inaccurate

HERE’S WHY…Blood tests for thyroid function measure the amount of ThyroidStimulating Hormone (TSH), T4, and T3 in the bloodstream. But thyroid hormonesdon’t do anything within the bloodstream - the action takes place in the cellsthemselves.

There’s no way to measure how much thyroid hormone isactively in the cell by measuring it in the bloodstream. We canonly guess how much thyroid hormone is actually in the cell!

Page 5: Special Report

Thyroid Blood Tests are Nothing More Than a Guess!

The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry has reported that “Laboratory blood tests forthyroid may be inaccurate for many who get tested for hypothyroid disorder.”

Blood tests are a poor and inadequate way to measure true thyroid hormone levels.

More Ways Doctors Miss Low Thyroid Function

T4 needs to convert into T3 (four times stronger than T4) for optimal metabolic function(bodily energy).

Unfortunately patients often have a problem converting T4 into activeT3 due to a build up of Reverse T3 – Reverse T3 is initiated by stress.The more stress, the more Reverse T3 and more likely T4 isn’tconverting into the more active T3.

A build-up of Reverse T3 actually blocks the conversion of T4 into T3.

Your blood tests may show normal levels, but since T4 is not being converted to T3within the cells, fatigue and other symptoms associated with low thyroid begin to appear.

Individuals taking synthetic thyroid hormones like Synthroid (T4 only)may continue to have the symptoms of low thyroid for years, even inspite of normal blood tests.

Your T4 Prescription Thyroid Drugs - Synthroid, Levoxyl, Levothroid,etc., May be Worthless.

You may continue to go back to your doctor year after year and get your“normal blood tests.” You are told by your doctor to keep taking that samedose of prescription thyroid hormone because… “your tests looknormal… keep taking your Synthroid (L-Thyroxine, Levoxyl,Levothroid, etc.), and, I’ll see you in 6 months.”

Meanwhile you’re falling apart and feeling miserable. If not miserable, certainly notas energetic as you know you should be.

Page 6: Special Report

All of the drugs listed above are synthetic (man-made) forms T4 andmay not be able to convert into the more active T3 thyroid hormone.

Important: if your synthetic T4 drug isn’t convertinginto the more active T3, you’re going to feel less thanoptimal. And, doctors miss this all the time.

And to complicate matters…

Millions of Americans go undiagnosed because mostdoctors continue to use older, now outdated, guidelines.Not only are blood tests inaccurate, but the parameters for determining who has a thyroiddisorder, and who doesn’t, have been changed. And I’ll bet you that 99% of thedoctors out there don’t even know this! They are just too busy to keep up with thesethings.

In the past, those with a thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) above 5.0 were consideredhypothyroid (have low thyroid). However, many doctors wouldn’t prescribe thyroidhormone therapy until the TSH reached 10 or more.

In 2004, The American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) changed theguidelines so that a TSH above 3.04 is NOW considered positive for hypothyroid.

Some doctors believe that anyone who has a TSH above 2, and complains of hypothyroidsymptoms (depression, fatigue, brain fog, etc.), should be placed on thyroid hormone.And, I would agree with that. I routinely see patients who’ve been to their doctor, had athyroid blood test which showed their TSH was above 3.04, only to have their doctor tellthem “your blood tests look normal.”

The majority of labs are still using the old guidelines as well.So if you go to your doctor, and he or she tests your blood, andit comes back with a TSH of 4.0, they will tell you you’re fine,“no problem with your thyroid.”

Oh, but traditional doctors are only too happy to treat yoursymptoms of fatigue, weight gain, low moods, and high bloodpressure with the potentially dangerous drugs, Ritalin,Adderall, Prozac, and blood pressure meds.

Page 7: Special Report

Of course, if they’d only treat your low thyroid, youwouldn’t have all these symptoms in the first place!Hey, you might actually GET WELL and not need tosee a doctor…You’d feel good again!

WHAT TO DO? HOW DO I KNOW IF THIS ISHAPPENING TO ME OR NOT?

Self-Test. Low Body Temperature is a Major Sign of Hypothyroid

Dr. Barnes was the first to show that a low basal body temperature was associated withlow thyroid. His first study was published in 1942 and appeared in The Journal of theAmerican Medical Association. This study tracked 1,000 college students and showedthat monitoring body temperature for thyroid function was a valid, if not superior,approach to other thyroid tests.

Most of the biochemical reactions occurring in the body are driven by enzymes - proteinmolecules that work according to their shape.

Enzymes, and their actions, are influenced by the metabolic temperature of the bodywhich is controlled by the thyroid hormones. When the body temperature is too low,the enzymes slow down, creating hypo-metabolism (hypothyroidism) and reducedmetabolism (cellular energy). Then, every cell and every bodily system starts to slowdown, leading to all sorts of health problems: fatigue, unwanted weight gain, poorsleep, lowered immune function, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels,anxiety, depression, achy pain, constipation, tingling hands and feet, brain fog…

High fevers speed up the metabolism and allow the body to fight off infectionsHypothermia (90 degrees or below) can be life-threatening and is considered a medicalemergency. The body works best at the optimal temperature of 98.6.

Self-Test for Low ThyroidThe test for low thyroid function, according to Dr. Barnes protocol:

1. First thing in the morning while still in bed, shake down and place a mercurythermometer (digital thermometers are not as accurate) under your arm and leaveit there for ten minutes.

Page 8: Special Report

2. Record your temperature in a daily log. Women who are still having menstrualcycles should take their temperature after the second and third days of the period.Menopausal women can take their temperature on any day.

• A reading at, or below, 97.8 strongly suggests hypothyroid.• A reading above 98.2 may indicate hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).

If using a digital thermometer, wait 2 hours after waking up and take under thetongue (don’t eat, drink or brush your teeth 10 minutes before taking temperature).

Most doctors don't know, or choose not to accept, the well-documented studies that show a low body temperature isindicative of euthyroid hypothyroidism.

Why Is Your Thyroid Function Low?Based on the past decade of the research, there are four primary reasons for thehigh rate of hypothyroidism that we now have in this country.

1. Iodine Deficiency

The major problem stems from a lack of iodine in the diet. Iodine is one of theessential components of thyroid hormones. Without sufficient iodine, theproduction of thyroid hormones is limited. Iodine consumption has droppeddramatically in this country over the past 20 years. This drop is due in part to thedepletion of our soils and in part to less iodized salt being used as an ingredient in ourfoods.

Why are iodine levels so important?

Low levels of iodine mean your thyroid isn't functioning properly. The thyroid helpsbalance hormones, regulate heartbeats, stabilize cholesterol, maintain weight control,encourage muscle growth, keep menstrual cycles regular, provide energy, and even helpsyou keep a positive mental attitude.

Women are naturally prone to iodine deficiencies. That's because the thyroid gland inwomen is twice as large as in men -- so under normal circumstances, women need moreiodine.

However, when women are under stress, the need foriodine can double or triple!

Page 9: Special Report

Yet, the foods we eat contain less and less dietary iodine. For example, back in 1940, thetypical American diet contained about 800 micrograms of iodine. By 1995, that amountplunged to just 135 micrograms. That's an 83% decline.

Two thirds of the body's iodine is found in the thyroid gland.

I’ve found that the quickest, and most affective, way to get theiodine your thyroid needs to operate at optimal levels is to takeover-the-counter iodine thyroid boosting supplements.

In my practice I use a product known as Thyroid Boost. If the patient isreally low or really suffering with low thyroid symptoms and wants to jump-start their thyroid, I’ll recommend they also take Thyroid Support alongwith it.

These 2 products make up my Thyroid Jump Start package.

Some foods, called goitrogens, should be omitted for a while as they hinder iodineutilization. These included kale, cabbage, peanuts, soy flour, Brussels sprouts,cauliflower, broccoli, kohlrabi and turnips.

Now most doctors will tell you that you get all the iodine you need from iodizedsalt. However, I learned first-hand that many of my patients were in fact very lowin iodine.

I suggest you use the following home test and see if you, like a lot of my patients,are low in iodine.

How to Self-Test for an Iodine Deficiency1. Dip a cotton ball into USP Tincture of Iodine. (You can get iodine at thedrugstore for under $1.)

2. Paint a 2-inch circle of iodine on your soft skin, like the inner part of your thighor upper arm.

3. If the yellowish/orange stain disappears in less than an hour it means your bodyis lacking crucial iodine and has soaked it up. If the stain remains for more thanfour hours, you iodine levels are fine.

If you find you’re low in iodine I’d suggest you start taking the Thyroid Jump StartPackage with Thyroid Boost (2-3 a day), best on an empty stomach, and ThyroidSupport (1-2 a day). Both of these specially formulated, clinically proven, preparationshave iodine and the needed co-factors to get your thyroid gland jump- started for

Page 10: Special Report

optimal health.

Selenium DeficiencyThe second factor contributing to hypothyroidism is selenium deficiency. Youmight have heard how important this mineral is to your immune system, butchances are you haven't heard how important it is to proper thyroid function.

That's unfortunate, because the effects of a selenium deficiency are veryserious.

As with iodine, our soils have become deficient in the trace mineral selenium. Inthe last few years, researchers have found that certain selenium-containingenzymes (lodothyronine 5' deiodinase) are responsible for the conversion ofthyroid hormone T3 to T4.

The thyroid produces several hormones, and must produce them in a somewhatbalanced ratio. Without selenium, this CONVERSION process is hindered.

This is another reason why some patients continue to feel bad even though theyare taking Synthroid or one of the other synthetic T4 drugs- T4 can’t effectivelyconvert into the more active T3 without optimal amounts of selenium.

This process requires several B vitamins (vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5), coenzyme Q10,minerals, such as magnesium, and other substances.

If a person is either frankly deficient or does not have optimal amounts of thesesubstances, then a prescribed thyroid hormone will not work optimally and mayeven cause side effects.

I recommend my patients take a good optimal daily allowance multivitamin tomake sure they get adequate intake of selenium, magnesium, and B vitamins.

Estrogen-like Compound PollutionAnother factor that has generally been overlooked by the medical community isthe recent introduction of estrogen-like compounds into our environment. Thesecompounds make their way into the body through respiration, ingestion ofcontaminated food, and skin contact. These chemicals can block thyroid hormoneproduction and contribute to hypothyroidism. These compounds include suchenvironmental pollutants as PCBs, dioxins, and pesticides such as lindane ordieldrin. Unfortunately, these pollutants can now be found in both our food anddrinking water supplies. This is one of the primary reasons we are seeing problemslike hypothyroidism showing up in our children.

Chronic StressStress is part of everyone’s life every day.

Page 11: Special Report

With a person affected by hypothyroidism, stress can aggravate the symptoms ofhypothyroidism. When a person is undergoing stressful events – even “everyday” stress –the body produces a chemical called cortisol.

Cortisol is one of two main hormones produced by the adrenal glands and it isnecessary and beneficial to the body to handle long-term stress.

However, when a person consistently and continually undergoes stressful events theaffects of stress on the body begin to show on the way the body works together.

The symptoms of low thyroid (hypothyroidism) and low adrenal (adrenal fatigue)are in many ways mirror images of each other.

Adrenal FatigueLow adrenal function is characterized by feeling week, lacking desire for sex, havingdark circles under the eyes, experiencing joint or muscle aches/pains, being affectedby low blood sugar, have select food cravings or cravings for salt, experiencing poorsleep, dry skin, discoloration and lines in fingernail pigment, showing markeddifficulty in recovering from common colds or temporal situations like jet lag,having lowered immunity to illness, affected by depression and showing signs ofpremature aging.

Clues to low adrenal functioning include a low blood pressure (less than 120/80),allergies, asthma, breathing difficulties, skin problems (such as acne, eczema, psoriasis,lupus, dry flaky skin), joint or muscle pains, as in arthritis, and emotional problems, suchas mood swings, weeping, fears and phobias.

Important:If a person has adrenal fatigue it must be treated along with the low thyroid or thepatient won’t see the desired benefits of thyroid treatment.

The adrenal hormone cortisol is necessary for the conversion of T4 to the active T3. Ifthe weak adrenals are not addressed, the patient may see little if no benefit to thyroidtherapy, actually feel worse and/or develop symptoms of an overactive thyroid gland,such as palpitations, a rapid heart beat, and increased sweating.

Chronic stress and adrenal fatigue are so common in today’s society that I find 99% ofmy patients have low adrenal function. Therefore I recommend all my low thyroidpatients take specific adrenal supplements to repair their adrenal fatigue.

Thousands of patients miss out on the life restoring benefits of thyroid replacementdue to a missed adrenal insufficiency. What a shame. Especially since the restoration oflow thyroid function can yield such amazing health results including, increased energy,better moods, less pain, lower cholesterol, and improved immune unction name but afew.

Page 12: Special Report

Self-Testing for Adrenal Fatigue

Self-Test MethodsRagland’s sign is an abnormal drop in systolic blood pressure (the top number) when aperson arises from a lying to a standing position. There should be a rise of 8–10 mm. inthe systolic (top) number. A drop or failure to rise indicates adrenal fatigue.

Example: Someone takes your blood pressure while you’re lying on your back. Thesystolic number is 120 and the diastolic number is 60 (120 over 60). Then take yourblood pressure again after immediately standing up.The systolic number (120) should go up 10 points (from 120 to 130). If it doesn’tincrease 10 points, this indicates adrenal fatigue.

Pupil Dilation TestAnother way to test for adrenal dysfunction is the pupil dilation exam. To perform this onyourself, you’ll need a flashlight and a mirror. Face the mirror, and shine the light in oneeye. If after 30 seconds the pupil (black center) starts to dilate (enlarge), adrenaldeficiency should be suspected.

Why does this happen? During adrenal insufficiency, there is a deficiency of sodium andan abundance of potassium, and this imbalance causes an inhibition of the sphinctermuscles of the eye. These muscles normally initiate pupil constriction in the presence ofbright light. However, in adrenal fatigue, the pupils actually dilate when exposed to light.

OK, Where Do You Start?I suggest you do the home self-tests and see what you find. Do you have low thyroidfunction and or adrenal fatigue?

1. Do the Iodine Self-Test. If you’re low in iodine I’d recommend you begin taking theThyroid Jump Start Package- Thyroid Boost and Thyroid Support.

Thyroid Jump Start Package

Thyroid Boost, along with Thyroid Support Formula help Jump Start Low Thyroid-helps to quickly elevates cellular metabolism, energy, increased mental function, andhelps optimize thyroid function.

Fatigue, weight gain, tingling in the hands and feet, depression and other symptomsassociated with low thyroid are often reversed when my patients begin takingThyroid Boost in combination with Thyroid Support Formula.

Thyroid Boost provides iodine and raw adrenal concentrates which may help withthyroid function. Thyroid Boost contains raw thyroid concentrate including thyroid

Page 13: Special Report

hormone T3 (it’s Thyroxin, T4 free). This product is designed to help support T4 andsupply/boost T3 thyroid hormones.Raw glandular concentrates are from South American or New Zealand farm raised, grassfed cattle. All batches are analyzed for any contaminants. Free of BSE.

Thyroid Support Formula (contains iodine) accelerates the results typically seen whenSupplementing with Thyroid Boost alone.

I always recommend that my patients continue to monitor their iodine response oncebeginning Thyroid Boost with Thyroid Support Formula. Once your iodine self-testnormalizes reduce to 1-2 Thyroid Boosts until finish bottle.

Keep checking iodine response every few weeks if it once again shows an iodinedefiency re-start the Thyroid Jump Start products until normal once again.

Do You Have a Positive Adrenal Fatigue Self-Test?Note if you have low adrenal function I would recommend you take 1 adrenal cortexsupplement twice a day with food.

Summary- if you have a deficiency in iodine I recommend you take the ThyroidJump Start (2-3 a day on empty stomach) with Thyroid Boost and Thyroid Support (1-2a day with food).If your adrenal self-test shows your adrenals are weak (99% of my patients have lowadrenal function) then add adrenal cortex or adrenal fatigue support formula- 1capsule twice a day with food.

THYROID JUMP START PACKAGEhttp://store.drmurphreestore.com/thyroidsupport1.htmlCAN WE ADD ADRENAL CORTEXTHYROID JUMP START PACKAGE WITH ADRENAL CORTX (same page asthyroid products)

Low Body TemperatureIf you have a low body temperature (97.8 or below) AND low iodine (demonstratedfrom self testing) then use the Thyroid Jump Start Package with Thyroid Boost andThyroid Support.

Add adrenal cortex or adrenal support formula if needed (most everyone will need toadd one of these to get maximum thyroid boosting/correcting results and feel their best).

Page 14: Special Report

If your iodine self test is normal then use-GTA Forte II alone (along with adrenal cortex and adrenal support formula if needed,see adrenal fatigue self test).Take 1 capsule 3 times a day on empty stomach (or 2 in morning and one in afternoon).Continue to monitor temps once reach 98.2, reduce your dose.

Keep checking your temps and reduce your dose when your temps average 98.2 or above.If you aren’t reaching 98.2 after one month then add one GTA Forte II a day each weekup to 5 a day or until you reach 98.2.LINK TO GTA FORTEhttp://store.drmurphreestore.com/gtafortell.html

Questions

1. I’m taking Synthroid or other prescription thyroid medication. Should I take theThyroid Jump Start Package as well?

If you’re taking a prescription thyroid medication and your temperature is running 97.8 orbelow and OR you have low iodine, then yes you should consider adding Thyroid Boostand Thyroid support, also known as the Thyroid Jump Start Package

Thyroid Boost one in the A.M. and one in the early afternoon. Thyroid Support take onea day with food. Monitor your temperatures as outlined below and if your temperaturerises above 98.2 then discontinue or reduce the Thyroid Boost.

2. What if I’m taking Synthroid or other synthetic T4 drug and have normal iodineself test but low body temperature? What should I do to boost my thyroid functionand feel better?

If you have a normal iodine level but have low body temp (97.8 or below) then use GTAForte II- take 3 a day best if on empty stomach.

2. If my lab tests are normal does this mean I don’t need thyroid medication?Blood tests aren’t very accurate. You may have hypothyroid (low thyroid) even if yourblood tests are normal. I would recommend you go by temperature testing and iodine selftesting. If your temps or iodine levels are low then you have low thyroid function andshould treat accordingly.

3. I have low body temperatures and low iodine which thyroid supplement should Itake?I recommend my patients with low body temperature (97.8 or below) and low iodine takethe Thyroid Jump Start Package- Thyroid Boost and Thyroid Support Formula.

4. I have low body temperature but normal iodine levels. Which thyroidsupplements should I take?

Page 15: Special Report

If you have normal iodine levels but low body temperature I’d suggest taking 3 GTAForte II’s a day on empty stomach.

5. My adrenal self-test shows I have weak adrenals what should I take?Patients with weak adrenals (adrenal fatigue) should take adrenal cortex or adrenalsupport- one capsule twice a day with food.
