Thyroid. Trending; You may be surprised to find out a great deal of peri- and post-menopausal women   have a thyroid issue and more than likely most are  on levothyroxine (brand name Synthroid). levothyroxine is  Indicated for the management of demonstrated thyroid hormone deficiency. It can  also be  used to suppress thyrotropin (TSH) for the management of TSH-responsive tumours of the thyroid. It is a sad fact some women  have been put on medications based solely on lab results after routine screening. Statistics suggest  one in five women over the age of 60 has clinical or subclinical hypothyroidism and I would suggest it is possibly more.  Thyroid disorders are six to eight times more common in women than men. This is not to say any gender, at any age, can develop hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Autoimmune thyroid disorders in general are more likely to develop during times of major estrogen fluctuations, this is  not only peri/post-menopause but also in pre-/post-natal women. As you will see as I continue  there are a few different types of thyroid conditions, and  with various causes some could be autoimmune  in nature or not. The fact is  more that 3 out of 4 thyroid conditions  are hypothyroid, and of these  hypothyroid cases, nearly all are autoimmune Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, maybe 5 % that are not. Consequently my focus for now is for  Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism. When someone has thyroid diagnosis I am often asked “ Can I do any thing  to support my thyroid that is a  natural remedy ?”  The shot answer is “Yes!”  will you still need to take a drug like levothyroxine, the answer is varied, you make  require your friendly doctor to  supervise. More than likely you will  benefit from the additional support from herbal remedies.  Using natural remedies  tend to have the most benefit in early and subclinical thyroid states. Some herbs can be  used with pharmaceutical  medication while others should only be combined with your friendly   professional as a supervisor. 😚 Because of its importance, this will be an ongoing post over a few days. Next installment; Reading Thyroid Lab tests and  getting a clear understanding of Thyroid Hormones. Many blessings Hans the Herbalist 💕

Suma Root: (Pfaffia paniculata) Called the Ginseng of South America it really has some great medicinal qualities. Suma helps to balance cortisol levels - the stress hormone - in the body. If they are too high it can bring it down and if they are too low it can bring them up, this is the power of an adaptogen. It helps to repair exhausted and burnt out adrenals, making this herb highly effective to combat stress, fatigue, anxiety and worry. Suma Root is packed with amino acids, electrolytes, minerals and the phytochemical “germanium”, a powerful cell oxygenator, as well as B vitamins, saponins and steroidal glycosides which are the building blocks/enhancers of testosterone synthesis. Adding this herb to you pre workout smoothie is a great way to give you that competitive edge. Suma root has a very high saponin content (up to 11%). In phytochemistry, plant saponins are well   known to have a wide spectrum of activities including lowering blood cholesterol, inhibiting cancer cell  growth, and acting as antifungal and antibacterial agents. Phytochemists report that saponins can act by binding with bile acids and cholesterol. These chemicals "clean" or purge these fatty compounds from the body (thus lowering blood cholesterol levels). Suma root is also commonly used as an energy tonic, as it may help improve stamina and reduce fatigue. Additionally, it has been used to support hormonal balance and may have aphrodisiac effects. Suma root is often used for its potential benefits in promoting cardiovascular health. Some studies suggest that suma root may help regulate blood pressure and improve circulation. Its anti-inflammatory properties may also contribute to its cardiovascular benefits. Suma root has been studied for its potential anticancer properties. Many blessings Hans The Herbalist💕

Healing the Cartilage and joints. The process of the   cartilage  wearing away from  stress and inflammation  we call osteoarthritis and this is an area where you see spurs forming. If you have sufficient  cartilage you are less likely to form spurs. So, it is vitally  important to understand how to feed your cartilage.  Remember this , cartilage has no blood supply and so consequently making it an area that is usually slow to repair. However, it doesnt stop us giving cartilage a boost. Bones get nutrients from the blood, but cartilage is fed by the synovial fluid that surrounds your joints. Synovial fluid contains the proteins, and everything necessary for cartilage nutrition, and at the same time  also removes waste products excreted by cartilage. With the help of physical movement and joint movement the nutrients, and waste products move back, and forth across cell membranes. So moving the joint helps to remove wastes and supply nourishment to the cartilage therefore  keeping on the move is important. To support healthy cartilage, bone broth is used to provide building blocks to form healthy collagen in general. It is also good to include anti-inflammatory foods and herbs in your diet to help decrease the inflammatory burden in the body and decrease inflammation in the joint. Anti-inflammatory foods and herbs are beneficial. Drinking clean water vital, because joints need hydrating. For  Cartilage To Be Healthy Movement of the joints.

To Prevent Bone Spurs Stretching exercises and low-impact maintenance exercise program  that strengthens the core and stretches those tendons most affected. Swimming and  bicycling are exercises that will not add extra pressure to the joints and tendons. Bone spurs can be prevented by keeping calcium in your bones rather than running around depositing itself in other areas where it may cause atherosclerosis or bone spurs. Healing Methods To Consider. Raw Apple cider vinegar - 1 T in 250ml  water in AM at breakfast every day. Benefits of ACV include: Helps dissolve inorganic calcium deposits and helps increase calcium assimilation.

Look into this. Jenny Anydots from a country town in Victoria Australia has this very interesting article. She also uses this method for chem trails and she said she has success in this method. She is on this channel and has first hand info on how it works. We could all give it a go. Nothing to lose. Blessings to all Hans 💕 So far in my research, oxidation of OH radicals by H+ ions can help to explain why putting out vinegar (acetic acid, as well formic acid seems to be a player) is helpful in dispelling chemtrail clouds. So far in my experiments I notice a complete change in the weather above me, compared to the spraying campaigns that were literally NON STOP daily over my property. Now I see normal cloud formation, more sunny days and blue sky, less white haze, proper rain showers and I barely see any trails at all. I did not get hit hard during the geoengineered "derecho" that damaged many properties (not one tree fell and nor was there any damage to my friend's properties that had their vinegar out). It seems there is an acid-base chain reaction effect that occurs via evaporation which can show you how subtle local hydrogen ionic (H+) changes can affect water. I now have my humidifier so I will move from passive evaporation to more active vinegar output and see what occurs.
