Dec 30th, 2009 | By Dee | Category: Thyroid Health

Thyroid disorders range from diseases that increase the amount of hormone produced to those that totally eradicate the production. In both instances these conditions will also radically affect the health of the individuals affected. Because there are several different conditions that may have the same symptoms diagnosis can sometimes be challenging.

The thyroid gland is a butterfly shaped organ that is located on the front of the knack, just in front of the windpipe. It produces hormones which regulate the rate at which body cells use energy and produce heat. When there is an over active or under active thyroid gland it can negatively affect the health of the individual. A person with too little hormone is said to suffer from hypothyroidism and a person with too much suffers from hyperthyroidism.

Iodine and Thyroid

Nov 26th, 2009 | By Dee | Category: Thyroid Health

The thyroid gland is a small butterfly shaped gland that sits at the front of your neck just below the Adams apple. The thyroid has a very important job because it is responsible for the bodys metabolism rate and energy production.

Iodine is a nonmetallic chemical that is found abundantly in seawater and in some minerals. It is in the same classification as chlorine and bromine. Iodine is toxic in large amounts.

The thyroid gland needs iodine to function properly. The two most important hormones that are manufactured by the thyroid gland are thyroxine and triiodothyronine. These two hormones are commonly referred to as T4 and T3.

If iodine is not available in the diet the thyroid gland may not be able to produce enough of the bodys needed hormones. Fortunately, in the United States iodine is added to salt and bread. A minimum of sixty micrograms of iodine a day is required to make the thyroid hormones.

Hyperthyroidism

Oct 13th, 2009 | By Dee | Category: Thyroid Health

Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which your thyroid gland produces too much of the hormone thyroxine. This can cause a severe acceleration of the bodys metabolism.

Hyperthyroidism can be difficult for your doctor to diagnose. This is because hyperthyroidism can mimic other health problems.

The symptoms of hyperthyroidism can include a sudden weight loss without a change in appetite. Symptoms can also include a rapid heart rate and increased nervousness and anxiety attacks.

A person who suffers from hyperthyroidism may have an increased intolerance to heat, and they may sweat a lot. Hyperthyroidism can cause tremors of the hands, and it can cause sleep disorders.

There are a number of reasons why your thyroid gland produces too much thyroxine. But one of the more common reasons is Graves disease. This is autoimmune disorder in which antibodies produced by your body will stimulate the thyroid gland to produce too much thyroxine.

Brief History of Osteoarthritis and Back Pain

Aug 28th, 2009 | By Dee | Category: Pain Management

At the spinal column are the elongated columns of bones, which the thoracic ribs support. The thoracic ribs push the bones the length of bone structure. The ribs join with the spinal column in various areas. Joints connect with these ribs, which are field of studies, since they often wear and tear, causing gradual degenerative diseases, such as osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis is defined in medical terms as a metabolically dysfunction of the bones. The results of the drops in our life-sustaining chemicals, which promote activity causes the bones to reduce mass whilst increasing porosity. The disease can cause osteoporosis to set in and intensify risks of fractures.

How do doctors consider osteoarthritis and/or osteoporosis?

Doctors often consider etiology aspects, including hyperthyroidism, deficiency of estrogen, Cushings syndrome, immobility, increases in phosphorus, liver illness, lack of exercise, deficiency of calcium and protein, deficiency of Vitamin D, and bone marrow conditions. Wear and tear of specific joints as mentioned above is also linked to osteoarthritis.

Gypsywort is an herbal plant that but has no culinary purposes at all but rather is used for industrial and medicinal purposes. This plant originated in Europe and Northwest Asia. Gypsywort’s most important properties come from the stem and the leaves. These were used for the astringents, sedatives, anxiety, tuberculosis, and heart palpitations. Industrially, Gypsywort was extremely beneficial in making a permanent black dye. Oddly enough that is how it got its name, the Gypsies were said to have stained their skin with this black dye like substance so they would resemble Africans or Egyptians while they were performing their “magic.”

Gypsywort is also called Lycopus europaeus; it has no known hazards and usually grows near rivers, streams and ravines. You will likely find this plant from June to September but the seeds are the most ripe between August and October.
