➡ Levothyroxine, a medication used to treat thyroid issues, can cause serious side effects, especially when combined with other drugs. Despite this, it’s widely prescribed, even to those who may not need it. However, research suggests that vitamin D can improve thyroid function and may be a safer alternative. It’s important to discuss these options with your doctor to ensure the best treatment plan.

➡ This study shows that Vitamin D and Vitamin C can help lower thyroid peroxidase antibody levels, which is important for people with Hashimoto’s or Graves disease. The study also found that selenium can help with autoimmune hypothyroidism. So, if you have high thyroid peroxidase antibody levels, taking more Vitamin D, Vitamin C, and selenium could help lower it.

➡ A study found that taking 200 micrograms of selenium daily for three months reduced certain harmful blood levels in patients with autoimmune hypothyroidism. The research also showed that combining selenium with levothyroxine, a common thyroid medication, improved treatment outcomes in 90% of patients, compared to 70% who only took levothyroxine. Other studies found that selenium and iodine supplements can help manage thyroid conditions and improve patient outcomes. Lastly, low magnesium levels were linked to an increased risk of hypothyroidism and autoimmune responses, suggesting that magnesium supplements could also be beneficial.

➡ Magnesium plays a crucial role in fighting infections and cancers, and its deficiency can lead to chronic inflammatory diseases and thyroid issues. Studies show that increasing magnesium intake can improve thyroid hormone function and overall well-being, reducing symptoms like fatigue, constipation, and anxiety. The research also highlights the importance of other minerals and vitamins like selenium, iodine, and vitamins C and D in maintaining thyroid health. Therefore, it’s recommended to check your magnesium levels and consider supplementation if needed.

Foreign hi everybody, my name is Dr. Bryan Ardis and this is the Dr. Ardist Show. And today’s episode is all about hypothyroidism. I’m going to take you through a presentation on what it is that’s most often prescribed for hypothyroidism, which is a drug most people know called Levothyroxine or by its other name Synthroid. But I’m going to take you through that, then I’m going to show you what is published when they actually compare this drug being prescribed over 20 million people every day in America and what they’ve discovered when they would actually supplement certain things like vitamin D, magnesium, selenium and what was the effect on these individuals both with under functioning thyroids called hypothyroidism and what they also called Hashimoto’s, which is an autoimmune disease diagnosis for the thyroid where your immune system supposedly is targeting or destroying your own thyroid.

You’re going to be shocked at what you learn. Millions of people you know are affected by hypothyroidism or an under functioning or imbalanced hormone scenario in their body and you should share this episode with them. I’m going to go through the PowerPoint presentation here and do remember if you scan the QR code I’m about to show you or if you’re already a follower of the doctor Artist show at the Resources tab, free resources. You will see our PowerPoint for hypothyroidism there. Also, if you enjoy the information here you think this might be beneficial, you want to start implementing some of these dietary recommendations and nutritional supplements in your life.

Just Download the free PDF of this PowerPoint. It’s for free. Just go download it, send it to anybody you want, share it with them so they know what they can do to help improve their thyroid’s functioning, to improve all of the various aspects of their physical health you’re about to learn about are affected when an individual has an under functioning thyroid. So here we go. Let’s dive into the PowerPoint presentation. Follow along. This is going to be exciting. This affects so many people around the world. It’s time we address this one. All right, so we titled this hypothyroidism.

Would also like to thank my son Braden for helping put together all this research as we guide him to highlight some of this incredible information here for all of you. It’s amazing to watch the young people learn the truths here that the medical profession actually is having withheld from them. We’re going to start with this Quote from George Bernard Shaw, those who can’t change their minds can’t change anything. Well, if you don’t, if I can’t help you change your mind about the truth that most people who are being prescribed drugs don’t need those drugs, we one thing you’re about to learn and see here, it is published by medical professionals and research scientists that over 90% of people of the 20 million plus people who are on levothyroxine right now shouldn’t be that it is overprescribed that often.

Well, for those of you who are having it prescribed to you and you shouldn’t be on it, this is for you. And how are you going to know if it’s you or not? It’s time to change your mind about how the thyroid actually functions. There’s certain minerals and vitamins it needs. Remember, you can scan this QR code, put in your email, you’ll get notified every time we do a presentation and we do them weekly. All right, let’s dive into hypothyroidism as a whole. By definition, what is hypothyroidism? It’s an under functioning thyroid. But per the Mayo Clinic, hypothyroidism happens when the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormones.

This condition is also called underactive thyroid. Hypothyroidism may not cause notable noticeable symptoms, they say in its early stages, but over time, hypothyroidism that isn’t treated can lead to other health problems such as high cholesterol and heart problems. Well, the high cholesterol part is false, but, you know, heart problems can be an issue. This is the National Health Systems of the UK how they define under functioning thyroid symptoms. So anybody out there, you know, who are suffering with any of these symptoms, they most likely have a thyroid that is not functioning optimally. It doesn’t mean they need a drug.

I’m just telling you it’s not working as well as it should. All right, so common symptoms include of an under functioning thyroid and people you know who are diagnosed with this or if you’ve been put on Synthroid or know someone who has. Synthroid and Levothyroxine are the same drug. You’re about to learn. These are the symptoms they suffered with and were complaining to their medical professional. They’re dealing with daily feeling extremely tired, feeling cold more than usual, putting on weight, constipation, difficulty concentrating or thinking clearly, low mood or depression, dry skin, dry hair or hair loss, a croaky or hoarse voice, and irregular or heavy periods.

For those who have them, here’s some fun facts Fast Facts about hypothyroidism nearly 5% of all Americans over the age of 12 are diagnosed with hypothyroidism older than 12. Hashimoto’s disease is a common cause of hypothyroidism, and this is defined when someone has their immune system attacking their thyroid, which then can’t produce enough hormones. As a result, people with Celiac’s disease, Sjogren syndrome, which is defined really dry eyes, nose, mouth, vaginal areas, that’s Sjogren’s syndrome. Diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or lupus, may be more likely to have an underactive thyroid. If an underactive thyroid is not treated during pregnancy, they say women can experience high blood pressure in late pregnancy or have anemia or even suffer a miscarriage, low birth weight or stillbirth.

Infants also can have an underactive thyroid. In case you didn’t know that, all newborns in the US Are tested for congenital hypothyroid. Now, what’s amazing about that is why would you test every baby born in America with congenital hypothyroidism? Why would you do that? And why would you assume that most babies born in America have an underdeveloped thyroid? Maybe you’re taking the babies too early with C sections and scheduling a Monday through Friday delivery time period that’s convenient only to the OB GYNs. Maybe. Or maybe the vaccines during pregnancy are doing it. Who knows? All right, Levothyroxine.

Here’s an article for you from Yale. You ever heard of Yale Levothyroxine? 21 million Americans may be taking a hypothyroidism drug they don’t need. Remember George Bernard Shaw’s quote, those who can’t change their mind can’t change anything. As many as 90%, Yale says of those who take levothyroxine, otherwise known as Synthroid, may have been unnecessarily prescribed this drug. Approximately 23 million Americans take levothyroxine, making it one of the most prescribed drugs in the entire country. To test for hypothyroidism or an underactive thyroid, doctors measured the levels of thyroid stimulating hormone, which comes from your pituitary gland, by the way, and free thyroxine called Free T4.

You have heard this term. However, new research points to natural seasonal variations in these hormones that current laboratory testing does not take into account. And read the quote below by Joe El Cory, Ph.D. quote study after study has shown that there is a greater risk when you are over treated with levothyroxine in patients who may not need it. Do you need it? How it is diagnosed let’s continue in this Yale narrative. Patients suffering with hypothyroidism may experience symptoms including fatigue and depression, and in extreme cases the condition can be debilitating. Providers diagnose hypothyroidism by first measuring what’s called TSH levels, which comes from the pituitary gland in the blood.

If the level is elevated, they will conduct a second test examining T4 levels. If TSH is high and T4 is low, the doctor diagnoses the patient with hypothyroidism. And now you know. Levothyroxine works by supplementing the low hormone levels with outside the body T4. That’s what the word exogenous means from outside the body. Some patients, however, have mildly elevated TSH, and normal T4. Providers diagnose this as subclinical, not exactly diagnosable hypothyroidism yet. And sometimes this is also treated with levothyroxine to lower tsh. Study after study has shown that there is a greater risk when you over treat with levothyroxines and patients who may not need it.

I’m reminding you, even in the subclinical setting subclinical meaning you don’t have real symptoms yet. They just see changes in your blood. A 2021 study, including collaborators from Yale, the Mayo Clinic, and the University of Arkansas, all very reputable institutions, found that out of the 23 million Americans who are actively taking levothyroxine, Synthroid approximately read it 21 million or 90% of them likely don’t even need that drug. Because levothyroxine can cause side effects that include anxiety, heat intolerance and diarrhea, which are also symptoms of low thyroid function and, in extreme cases, cardiovascular death, especially in those over 80.

This finding is alarming, says the PhD doctor. Now let’s go to aace.com all about the thyroid Hypothyroidism is generally cheated with a single daily dose of levothyroxine given as a tablet. The correct dosage can help return the thyroid balance to normal. It’s essential to take the medication as prescribed, they say, and a dose that is too high can cause those symptoms of hyperthyroidism, which happens all the time, and a risk of developing osteoporosis. All of you on levothyroxine, have you been warned that you might start having fractures? A dose of thyroid hormone that is too low may fail to Prevent enlargement of the thyroid gland.

Older people who may have been have an underlying heart disease are usually started on a low dose of levothyroxine which is gradually increased. Thyroid hormones act slowly in some parts of the body, so it may take several months after treatment started before you see symptoms start to improve. Now let’s dive into what medications are prescribed by your MDs. We’ve been talking about it already. Here’s levothyroxine. It’s brand names also, which includes Synthroid. You can see they’re underlined. This is directly off of drugs dot com. Levothyroxine belongs to a class of medications called hormones. It works by replacing thyroid hormone that normally reproduce by the body.

Underneath there they have a black box warning for levothyroxine. All of you. Synthroid comes with a black box warning from the fda. Larger doses may produce serious or even life threatening manifestations of toxicity, particularly when given in association with other drugs called anorectic drugs which are used to suppress your appetite. Ozempic, Anybody? Wegovy? Anybody? Now we’re gonna run through a list of published side effects under the professional info that they want all medical doctors to know about levothyroxine. And we’re gonna highlight these. Now what you’re gonna see is under cardiovascular, for example, on the screen you see the term frequency not reported.

This is the area on drugs.com and on every package insert where they list the most serious side effects during human trials of the drug. They will give you percentages in this area of the package inserts and on drugs.com if it was during the trial of the drug. They will tell you the percentages of those people that had specific symptoms. But then they do elongated collection of information from the people in the studies for a six month period, one year period. And they term these frequency not reported during the human trial. But these are all things that happen to people being put on these drugs during a quick period of taking the drug, but beyond the human trial period.

So every single one of these you’re going to see for levothyroxine are things that happen to people on levothyroxine and as they kept taking the drug after the trial. This is important for you to understand because you should be disgusted by what we’re about to share with you. 23 million people are being prescribed this drug right now. 21 million people, Yale says shouldn’t even be on the drug and are being prescribed the drug when they shouldn’t be. And it causes all these problems. All right, so let’s look at cardiovascular palpitations, tachycardia, hypertension, arrhythmias, increased pulse and blood pressure, heart failure, that’s called a heart attack in deaf people.

Angina, chest pain, myocardial infarction. That is a heart attack and cardiac arrest. Actually, myocardial infarction means death of heart muscle. Just so you know, cardiac arrest from levothyroxine over treatment with this drug may cause an increase in heart rate, cardiac wall thickness and cardiac cardiac contractility, motility and may precipitate angina, chest pain or arrhythmias, particularly in patients with cardiovascular disease and in elderly patients. Do you have a loved one who’s older or has heart disease and was put on this drug? It isn’t going to help them avoid it. How about endocrine issues, changes in symptoms, presentations for diabetes and adrenal insufficiency, headaches, hyperactivity, insomnia, seizures, cerebral palsy, hair loss, flushing, urticaria, pruritus, skin rash, angioedema.

The picture of the baby with the swollen eyes and swollen lips, that’s angioedema. Urticaria is the rash you see on the legs there. Excessive sweating, GI problems, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, musculoskeletal levothyroxine causes tremors, muscle weakness, muscle spasms, increased risk of osteoporosis, slipped capital femoral epiphysis. That’s where the, the humor, the femur of your hip in your child comes out of the socket. Ask your doctor if levothyroxine is right for you. Impaired fertility, menstrual irregularities. Autoimmune diseases are diagnosed on people with taking levothyroxine because of levothyroxine. Chronic autoimmune thyroiditis. Oh, my goodness. Thyroid immune disease, nervousness, anxiety, irritability and emotional liability.

Not really there emotionally. What does nature provide about what does nature provide to help correct hypothyroidism? First, we’re going to dive into vitamin D. Now, there’s a few of these research studies on vitamin D and their benefits. But what’s amazing to me is most of these research studies, they’re taking someone given levothyroxine and then they give them vitamin D. And for those of you who actually are concerned about thyroid diseases, and you have been to an endocrinologist in the past or go with someone who has an issue, you’ll hear terms like this, you have an autoimmune thyroid disease.

And they’ll talk about something in the blood work called tpo. Is Elevated that stands for thyroid peroxidase. And they’ll say this is an antibody that targets and kills your thyroid that your body’s making. Alright, just want you all to know you’re going to see all of these markers that your endocrinologist is telling you shows you and the doctor that you have hypothyroidism and why it is you need to be given a drug called levothyroxine. And what’s interesting is, is that TPO, T3, T4, all of these thyroid hormones improve even when the patient’s on levothyroxine if you just give them things like vitamin D, you’re about to learn and a few other minerals that I continue to make sure you all know about Vitamin D deficiency in non autoimmune hypothyroidism.

So this is not Hashimoto’s, this is just hypothyroidism in general. Here is a case study. Now they’re referencing a study. The patients with Hashimoto’s was 633 people. Those with non Hashimoto’s which is non autoimmune hypothyroidism was 305 people. And then they had a control group of 200 people. The vitamin D levels, T3 and T4 levels were studied and the anti TPO, thyroid peroxidase and antithyroid globulin test were performed. The results of vitamin D level were analyzed and interpreted using something called spss. In terms of the cause of hypothyroidism is the low vitamin D causing hypothyroidism. The results of the present research indicated that hypothyroid patients with or without an immune base, whether or not they do have autoimmunity, deal with vitamin D deficiency more than people with more than healthy people do.

The patients with less than 20 nanograms of vitamin D were considered as vitamin D deficient. And they showed that the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is more common in people with Hashimoto’s than normal people. Do you know anybody with Hashimoto’s? You better be on vitamin D. It better be 5000 international units which is what we offer at the Dr. Artist show in the present study a remarkable finding was the association between non autoimmune hypothyroidism, so regular hypothyroid patients and their vitamin D deficiency. It means that vitamin D deficiency level in a patient with regular hypothyroidism was higher than the control group.

The relationship between vitamin D deficiency and Hashimoto thyroiditis is well documented, they say. And I would like to ask you if this is well documented in medical research, how many of your endocrinologists prescribing levothyroxine are also telling you to get vitamin D either from the sun or from supplements? And if they’re not, you should fire that doctor. They’re not even looking at the well documented research studies on your behalf. The subjects of this present study were under levothyroxine therapy. They were already on the drug. I want to show you what is some of the confusing things for medical doctors when they read studies.

Look at this next study highlighted barony, a medical researcher and his group demonstrated that the treatment of hypothyroidism with levothyroxine led to an increase in vitamin D levels. While another researcher, Care care and their actual buddies showed that long term consumption of levothyroxine may disrupt the concentrations of your vitamin D. So this is why so many medical doctors don’t even want to talk to you about supplements because they’ll read studies that say, uh, if you take levothyroxine, it raises vitamin D all by itself. You don’t need to supplement vitamin D. Then there’s another study they’re referencing right here where they said when you study levothyroxine, this other group found that the more levothyroxine you took, it disrupts and lowers their vitamin D levels in the body.

So this study, for example, was to clear the disagreement once and for all. Clinical and laboratory studies did not address this issue and they only showed the relationship between Hashimoto’s in those research studies and and vitamin D, not regular hypothyroidism. They were only studying autoimmune Hashimoto’s or autoimmune thyroid conditions clinic. Okay, so let’s just keep going. Autoimmune thyroid disease on laboratory Laboratory mice models showed the positive effect of vitamin D on suppressing of the immune system and the prevention of thyroid autoimmune disease damage. Oh, and remember, if it happens to a mouse, it’ll happen in a human.

That’s what all medical science says. The present study shows this one that you’re looking at shows that vitamin D deficiency not only affects the immune system but also has a relationship with the function of the thyroid gland. Directly ask your endocrinologist if vitamin D is right for you. It can be concluded that vitamin D deficiency may have a direct association with thyroid gland function and indirectly may affect thyroid by modulating or affecting the immune system. Here’s the next study on Thy on vitamin D supplementation and how it reduces thyroid peroxidase antibody levels. Everybody out there, if you have Hashimoto’s or Graves disease, they’re watching this TPO number.

Vitamin D supplementation lowers TPO and I’m about to show you. Ask your doctor if vitamin D is right for you. And when they say no, say, I just watched the Dr. Artist show and you don’t know what you’re talking about. None of the patients in group A. Oh, actually I like this better. Download the presentation and give it to your medical doctor so they can learn. Where else are they going to learn? I think their pharmaceutical reps are going to teach them. Those that are telling them to sell their levothyroxine and Synthroid, I don’t think they’re going to tell them to supplement vitamin D.

All right. None of the patients in group A were on levothyroxine supplements. There’s three groups in this study. ABC of the 32 patients in group B, 12 had already started levothyroxine supplementation at the time of starting the study. Levothyroxine supplementation was initiated in the remaining 20 patients after the study started and they were randomized. 93% of the patients in this study had vitamin D low levels. Vitamin D deficiency was observed in 74% of all the patients. All included patients had thyroid peroxidase antibodies above 34. Thyroid peroxidase antibody levels were highest among patients in the lowest vitamin D level.

Ask your doctor, Vitamin D is right for you. A negative correlation was observed, meaning an opposite correlation was found between this is 25oHD, that’s vitamin D. So they find a negative correlation between vitamin D levels and thyroid thyroid peroxidase antibody levels. So the higher vitamin D, higher vitamin D, lower tpo. The lower vitamin D, the higher tpo. So if you have high tpo, you need to take more vitamin D to lower it. Is what you’re learning greater than? A 25% reduction in thyroid peroxidase levels was achieved in 68% of patients in group 1 and 45% of people in group 2.

This evaluation achieved an 80% statistical power. Performing a one sided test. Vitamin D supplementation led to a significant increase in vitamin D levels with a corresponding fall in blood levels of thyroid peroxidase levels. What about vitamin C? Did you know vitamin C prevents hypothyroidism? And how when you have a low functioning thyroid, did you know that you can also see an increase in nerve damage in the brain? So vitamin C, they Found in this study helps to prevent the damage to the nerves of the body when you have an under functioning thyroid in a human or a mammal.

So this is how they, they set up this study. The design is at the top in a population based pregnancy cohort. A study, a group 2,910 pregnant women participated in the Norwegian Mother and child cohort study which was an associations of maternal iodine intake is what they were looking at. And they used a food frequency questionnaire and they supplemented with iodine from kelp. All right, number one, the control group was administered normal drinking water. Number two, they used something called ptu, a drug. You can see the drug on the left was administered in the drinking water and it caused hypothyroidism.

You’ll see the words induced hypothyroidism at bullet point. Number two there. And then number three, there was a third group. They took the drug that induced hypothyroidism and then they gave them vitamin C in their drinking water at 10 milligrams of vitamin C per 2.2 pounds of body weight. Then the fourth group was they gave the drug that induced hypothyroidism. Is this helping you guys understand something and learn something? They know that there are certain drugs and chemicals that induce hypothyroidism. Is it in your food supply or in your water supply or in your vaccines or drugs you’re taking? How do you know they know how to induce these conditions? This is what the amazing illusion of medicine is.

And remember, the drug industry is housed underneath the same roof as our food industry, the Food and Drug Administration. You don’t think they’re in cahoots? All right, so in this fourth group in this study, it’s the. They used a drug to induce hypothyroidism and then they gave them vitamin C at a higher dose than the third group at 100 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. This is what they found. This is the effect of vitamin C on T4 hormone which everybody is prescribed levothyroxine 4. When they see low levels of T4, the blood levels of T4 in the control group was 6.7.

And while PTU consumption significantly reduced the T4 serum level, which induced hypothyroidism, administration of both 10 milligrams of vitamin C and 100 milligrams of vitamin C per 2.2 pounds of body weight significantly increased the blood level of T4. Has your doctor recommended vitamin C to you? When they see thyroid peroxidase or sorry, when they see low T4 thyroid hormone levels and they say you’re hypothyroid, have they ever recommended vitamin C to you? Shame on them. Thyroid hormones are essential for brain maturation and brain function throughout life and hypothyroidism can result in permanent brain damage. The results of several studies suggest that hypothyroidism can cause memory disorders in different ages from children to adults, in humans and in animal models.

A study conducted by Cooks, an author, a researcher, showed that hypothyroidism in adults caused a considerable reduction in the volume of the brain matter in the hippocampus area. And this may explain many memory deficits that have been observed in the hypothyroid patients. Now, very exciting. I’m just going to throw it out here. At the very end of this presentation I’m going to show you two shots slides because the memory deficits here highlighted, the last red highlighted sentence here on the screen. This could explain memory deficits, the impact of hypothyroidism on the hippocampus of the brain that’s observed in hypothyroid patients.

At the end of this study, I’m going to show you a research study where it states that nicotine administered alone can reverse the the memory loss and memory deficits and hypothyroidism by itself. Nicotine does it as your endocrinologist told you to try nicotine. We’re going to start in the middle here where it says Tevedin and Nieborg showed that a vitamin C deficiency in guinea pigs at the postnatal period caused hippocampal volume reduction which leads to memory impairment. The neuroprotective effects of vitamin C was investigated on lead induced neurotoxicity during prenatal period in RA rats. Their results showed a significant reduction in the number of dark neurons in the hippocampus of lead exposed rats.

That’s the benefit and protective nature of the nervous system from vitamin C which you can read in the very first sentence on the screen. The major findings of the study with hypothyroid rats exposed to vitamin C was the recovery of neuronal damage in the hippocampus, which is where your memory is. And then they say our study and several other studies have indicated this protective effect of vitamin C the brain. It’s amazing how many things vitamin C provides benefit to but your medical doctor knows nothing about the present study. Vitamin C has been shown to have an anti apoptic effect in various in vivo in the body studies and in the lab studies, a researcher named Han in 2007 revealed that vitamin C has protective effects against lead induced cell apoptosis in the brain of rats.

The well known antioxidant effects of vitamin C and the sensitivity of the brain to oxidative stress. It seems that this mineral agent has a strength to prevent brain neuron damage following drug induced even hypothyroidism. So even if you’re being poisoned by the air and chemtrails in your water supply, food supply, don’t be afraid. They know they even have chemicals called ptu. They can just give inside of an animal or a mammal or human right now and induce hypothyroidism overnight. If you’re worried vitamin C and vitamin D you’ve just learned can protect your brain and other parts of your body from the detrimental effects of being poisoned to induce hypothyroidism and all the people of the earth or maybe you just have an under functioning thyroid because of mineral deficiencies.

The present study indicated that 100 milligrams of vitamin C per 2.2 pounds of body weight protects male rat pups against neuronal depletion in the brain induced by neonatal while when the womb their mom has hypothyroidism. Now let’s dive into selenium, the next mineral. So we’ve talked about vitamin D, we talked about vitamin C. Now you’ve heard me talk about selenium for years. You cannot make any thyroid hormone without selenium circulating in your body. You also can’t make any thyroid hormones without iodine in your body. It’s amazing. All right, so here’s the effects of selenium on the antithyroid globulin antibody in patients with autoimmune hypothyroidism.

All patients received levothyroxine. So they’re all on Synthroid to control their thyroid stimulating hormone into a normal range. Then the patients of the intervention group received a daily dose of 200 micrograms of selenium tablets which is exactly the same dose in my selenium capsules. The literature which we examined the potential impact of supplementing selenium on the progress of autoimmune hypothyroidism have assessed the changes in the amount of antithyroid antibodies TPO and yielded an inconclusive database. Our outcomes of this study though showed that selenium supplementation therapy at a dose of 200 micrograms a day for three months only decreased the levels of antithyroid globulin serum in the blood of newly diagnosed patients with autoimmune hypothyroidism.

Hashimoto’s or Graves, but most likely Hashimoto’s. The researcher named Wu and their group, they aim to investigate the clinical effects of combined therapies of selenium and levothyroxine. So if you’re on levothyroxine and wondering if selenium is right for you, they did this on 18 patients. Therapeutic effects were seen in 90% of all of them compared with 70% in the control who was just getting levothyroxen, which was a significant difference. Levels of antithyroid globulin antibody in the intervention group was significantly lower. Those receiving 200 micrograms of selenium, one capsule of my selenium every day for three months.

Other metrics such as T4, TSH, thyroid stimulating hormone and thyroid peroxidase antibody levels were also lower in the intervention group. What? TSH went down. TPO went down. Seriously incredible. They use those markers to diagnose hypothyroidism and autoimmune disease. It all improves with selenium. The effect of selenium on the treatment of autoimmune thyroid hypothyroidism in 60 patients concluded that TSH levels were significantly reduced and free T4 level increased. Which is the whole thing you’re trying to do with levothyroxine. The effects of selenium on the management of patients during pregnancy were. 45 patients were evaluated in at weeks 10 and 36 weeks of pregnancy and 6 months after delivery.

They reported the antithyroid antibody levels in both groups reduced between the 10th and 36 weeks of gestation. But six months after delivery, that antithyroid antibody level in the placebo group increased, but in the selenium group it decreased. Isn’t that amazing? Ask your doctor if selenium is right for you. So now we’ve talked about vitamin C, vitamin D and selenium. Now we’re at the clinical observation of levothyroxine combined with selenium. Study another one, and this is in the case of individuals with a really serious condition they term chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, abbreviated clt. For all of you that may be familiar, if you know anybody with clt, they should be watching this presentation because they’re not on selenium.

I guarantee it, and they might want to be. The control patients received oral treatment with levothyroxine. LT4 is short for levothyroxine sodium, at an initial starting dose of 25 to 50 micrograms per day before meals. This dose was taken once a day before meals for three months. In the combined group, the levothyroxine treatment was the same as that in the single treatment group with an addition though of selenium supplementation for three months. The efficacy of the two groups was evaluated at the end of the treatment and the control group who only got levothyroxine they saw 38 cases were markedly effective, 15 cases were efficient and 11 cases were invalid.

They didn’t provide any benefit and the total effective rate of this group was 82%. In the combined group levothyroxine and selenium there were 45 cases with markedly effective changes. 17 cases were efficient and only 3 cases had no improvement. The total effective rate of this group was 95.38% better than the 82% which is levothyroxine. So if you’re on levothyroxine you better be on selenium. Well I mean if you like 95% better than 82% likelihood I’m actually going to skip this slide the combination treatment second sentence on the screen. Y’ all can read this. If I skip over something I just am driving home that these things have been found to have the improvements.

If you want to go dive in further into the research and see these highlighted data points and statements, just go download the PDF. The combined treatment of levothyroxine with selenium supplementation was superior to the single treatment of levothyroxine which may be related to the improvement of antithyroid antibody levels in the patients. They call that thyroid peroxidase. By the way, tpo the study found that selenium intervention therapy may help to reduce thyroid autoantibody titers, attenuate or stop immune inflammatory responses and improve mood in patients with CLT and hypothyroidism. The clinical outcome of patients treated with both selenium and levothyroxine replacement therapy was better than levothyroxine alone and selenium yeast may improve patient outcomes and halt disease progression with a high safety profile.

Safe and effective selenium now let’s dive into iodine. What I mentioned earlier. These are two minerals the thyroid cannot make any hormones without T3. T4 included treatment of hypothyroidism due to iodine deficiency. When your medical doctors and endocrinologists tell you there’s no proof that supplements help, there’s no research that iodine, selenium, vitamin D and vitamin C are effective in Helping improve thyroid function. They’re not watching the Dr. Artist show. We’re showing you the research right here. I’m going through the research studies right now that medical researchers are doing. Your medical doctors aren’t reading the research. I guess that’s why God put me on the earth because I like reading this nerdy stuff.

All right, so let’s dive into iodine. The patient’s thyroid functions before and after treatment with powdered kelp, which is what my iodine source is in my doctor Artist show capsules. I have powdered kelp for iodine. Before treatment, TSH was 7.6 ft4. The. Oh, sorry. The anti thyroid globulin and thyroid peroxidase antibody was negative in all the cases. So this is just normal hypothyroidism. Thyroid function and UIC were normalized after treatment. No thyroid tumors or nodules were detected by ultrasound. Ultrasound carried out in three cases. And this was just with iodine. Kelp. This is before supplementing with kelp from iodine or iodine from kelp.

Iodine is a mineral found on the periodic table of elements. There’s lots of sources of iodine. I just prefer plants and that’s what I have. Kelp out of the sea. Before supplementation, you can see the TSH level, T4 levels, UIC levels. I can’t remember what UIC stands for. And then goiter sizes measurements on a scale of 1 to 4. So you will see TSH levels for each of the patients. T4 levels. Free T4 levels in the second column. UIC third levels. But look at the TSH levels after supplementing. Sorry, supplementing iodine for three months only. Look at it.

It’s the second slide there highlighted in red. Tsh. Look at the first patient went from 16.8 Tsh down to 0.7. The T4 level went from 0.4 up to 1.2. The goiter level went from a 3 to a 1 size lowered. Isn’t that amazing? Just look at those numbers. This is what iodine from kelp has done to reverse and improve your blood markers for your endocrinologist to review and be shocked by. Go ahead and buy the selenium. Go ahead and buy the iodine and you might want to get thyroid complete while you’re at it and then just blow their minds after three months.

In the present study, we investigated thyroid function and UICs of seven cases and diagnosed them as hypothyroidism. We treated them with iodine as powdered kelp. When we started powdered kelp at 1.6 to 2 grams per day. Their UIC were were high. Therefore we decreased the dose of powdered kelp down to 1 to 1.6 grams, which is what you’re going to get in my supplement which contained about 200 micrograms of iodine. Of note was no clinical side effect at all was ever observed during the treatment with powdered kelp. No side effects. Now let’s get to magnesium. I am called the magnesium guy around the world.

Everywhere I go, I’ve had chefs come out of kitchens. Waiters and waitresses sit down next to me. Pilots, I’ve said flight attendants bend down to say thank you magnesium doctor for all you do. So funny you’re that famous TikTok doctor magnesium tick tock doctor. Yeah, well I love magnesium. Severely low blood levels of magnesium is associated with an increased risk of polymer positive antithyroglobulin antibody and hypothyroidism. Did your endocrinologist tell you that that low magnesium supplementation and levels in your blood causes hypothyroidism and leads to elevated antithyroglobulin antibody? The average blood level of magnesium was 0.89 in our study.

The proportion of sub subjects with inadequate magnesium levels was 45% while the proportion of people with severely low levels of magnesium was 6%. Let’s just go back here. I’m going to read the last statement at the bottom. Hypothyroidism to be associated with decreased levels of serum magnesium levels was found and the role of thyroid hormones on the magnesium urinary excretion rate was mainly related to their effect on the degree of urinary concentration. Our study found that blood levels of magnesium were related to the risk of thyroid globulin antibody positively. If you had low levels of magnesium and you saw a prevalence of hypothyroidism being diagnosed if they had low levels of magnesium.

Severely low levels of magnesium can increase the thyroid globulin antibody via the abnormal activation of immune cells and induction of an autoimmune response. A study on patients with Graves disease found that their blood levels of magnesium were lower than in normal individuals and the blood level of magnesium concentration was inversely related to the activation levels of CD3, CD4, CD8, T cells, CD19 and B cells. These are your cells that are your immune cells that protect you from injury, chronic illnesses and infections. These cells, they even help you fight off cancer cells. If your magnesium level is low, then those.

Sorry, if they’re low then you see that these Cells aren’t activated. They’re not even turned on. To fight those infections and cancers, you need magnesium for a lot of other things, just not just thyroid. Magnesium is involved in a variety of antioxidant metabolic pathways such as creating glutathione. Low serum or blood levels of magnesium could therefore reduce the antioxidant response of glutathione in cells and allow the accumulation of free radicals resulting in oxidative stress and tissue damage. The evolution of diseases Studies have shown that insufficient magnesium intake is associated with a variety of chronic inflammatory diseases and elevated blood serum levels of C reactive protein.

Magnesium levels were low levels were associated with an increased risk of thyroid antibodies. Positively the prevalence of hypothyroidism also and and hypothyroidism, indicating that blood levels of magnesium should be evaluated in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis and hypothyroidism. Ask your doctor to check your magnesium levels is what the researchers are saying. Increased magnesium intake or magnesium supplementation may be beneficial for patients with severely low blood magnesium who are diagnosed with these disorders. So now we’ve talked about vitamin C, we’ve talked about vitamin D, we’ve shown you selenium, we’ve shown you iodine and now we’ve showed you magnesium.

Three minerals, two vitamins that are published to help improve all thyroid hormone function. This is another study talking about acquired magnesium deficiency due to physical and psychological stressors relates to a dysfunction of ox of phosphorylation. Let’s just read what the purpose of the study was. Just another highlight of the many incredible benefits of magnesium. The aim of the study was to discern whether there was a relationship between blood markers, sonogram and musculoskeletal data in cases of hyperthyroidism and whether they are modifiable through supplementation with selenomethionine. Now this is a form of selenium, the exact form of selenium that’s in our our selenium supplement at the Dr.

Artist show and magnesium citrate, which is one of the magnesiums in my magnesium complex, as well as acupuncture and manual medical methods like levothyroxine. Increased levels of stressors are associated with decreased levels of magnesium in the blood whereby patients with hyperthyroidism have the lowest levels as compared with the case of hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroid patients are way more stressed, way more anxious and they have even lower levels of magnesium. Together with this biochemical alteration, we document increased levels of vascularity within the thyroid with Low levels of magnesium. When you increase it, you see an increased level of blood flow into the thyroid.

On the therapeutic side, we have demonstrated a beneficial effect of a combined supplementation regimen of 200 micrograms of selenium which is in my capsule of selenium at the Dr. Artist show and magnesium citrate at this level for only three months and its impact on thyroid function and on the intensity of thyroid function blood flow into the thyroid. Using a sonogram, they could measure that there was a clinical improvement in the well being in the majority of cases. After correcting the changes and the deficits of these minerals and vitamins, magnesium and selenium, the patients reported feeling fitter, having more energy, showing less fatigue, constipation had disappeared and they had also reported a better sleep quality.

Single patients described less anxiety and less panic attacks. This leads us to conclude that the clinical symptoms in benign thyroid disease are not exclusively associated with thyroid hormone levels, but rather with magnesium deficiency. Let’s highlight that. Again, this leads us to conclude that the clinical symptoms of hypothyroidism are not exclusively associated with an under functioning thyroid, but rather it’s more correlated to a lower level of magnesium in their body. Magnesium supplementation showed a beneficial effect on thyroid economy leading to a normalization of TSH levels. Every time your medical doctor has ever seen high TSH, they think you have a low thyroid.

Has your doctor ever prescribed magnesium supplementation? I recommend at least 500 milligrams of magnesium every day and you can get that from our magnesium complex at the Dr. Ergusto. The final clinical settings would be 1. Hypothyroidism equals low magnesium levels with low iodine uptake and low need of muscle repair. This just shows you a chart out of the research study how all of it is connected. For all you nerds out there like me, you can see the red arrows that we put in here. Highlight iodine, magnesium and selenium and how they impact how the thyroid functions and those minerals impact on thyroid levels of hormones and their impact on the rest of the body.

And I have to highlight this one thing, I just can’t get off of it. This is in 2021. The NIH put this on pubmed.gov molecular insights into the benefits of nicotine on memory and cognition Brain function and I want to remind you all nicotine may also. I’m reading the highlighted statement from the research study. Nicotine may also activate thyroid receptor signaling pathways to improve memory impairment caused by hypothyroidism. Ask your doctor if Nicotine is right for you. There’s a reason I wear a 3 1/2 milligram nicotine patch every day on my body. Even right now. I don’t even have hypothyroidism.

But I don’t want it. That’s why we’re. All right, here’s our vitamin D supplementation. 5000ius is what I recommend. You just saw the research studies on how vitamin D given without levothyroxine. And while someone’s on it, improves TSH levels, T4 levels, reverses the TPO levels, which is the autoimmune markers. Get your vitamin D3 at the doctor show. This is our immune C, vitamin C, a thousand milligrams per dose. This is our magnesium complex. Oh, my gosh. Everybody should be on here. And you’ll see magnesium citrate is one of those in there. It’s actually the first one listed there if you see it in the label.

And then here’s our selenium. At 200 micrograms, you see the exact same dose these researchers determined helped improve thyroid function. For those with hypothyroidism, here’s our thyroid complete. Yes. I recommend everybody be on that. If you’re diagnosed or concerned with thyroid issues. And you will see our kelp extract in there as well, scan this QR code, follow along and be alerted with our next presentations coming. Don’t forget to get my book Moving Beyond COVID 19 Lies. It’s a number one bestseller right now. It is the number one Audible book selling on Amazon right now worldwide. You can get it in audible.

You can get a Spanish printed version if you’d like on Amazon. You can also scan this. Get this directly from the Dr. Artist Show. That is our. Our physical paperback book. If you’re a loved one, suffer with long Covid. Covid symptoms. Want to know what happened during the pandemic? Get the book. Get a copy for someone you love, too. All right, I’m going to stop sharing. Here, let me turn this over here. All right, Everybody. I am Dr. Brian Artis. This is everything you need to know about hypothyroidism. And I’m really sorry to the 23 million people out there who have been prescribed a drug that 90 of you don’t need.

And if I were you, I would absolutely recommend that you start supplementing our iodine from kelp, our sol, our vitamin D3, our thyroid complete, our selenium. If I had a bottle up here on the table, I’d show it to you. You got our selenium you got our vitamin C. Go get it. My goal is to help you improve every aspect of your life. Just as you read the patients reported in these research studies, you do not have to suffer needlessly. And many of you are on a drug that creates many horrific problems for people when they take it long term.

Long term being longer than the human trials. We showed you those side effects. If you want to reduce your risk of being a victim, follow our recommendations here. God bless you. I’m Dr. Brian Artisan. Share this far and wide with all those you know that suffer with fatigue, inability to control their weight, have memory issues. This presentation was for you. This is everything you need to know about hypothyroidism. We’ll see you next week on the Dr. Artist Show.
