PATTERN XI Blood Proteins as They Effect The Thyroid, Anterior Pituitary, and Colon Health The  thyroid is responsible for increasing virtually all metabolic functions.  It is a key factor in genetic expression and especially maturation (i.e. diencephalon and puberty); it is the thyroid hormone that is responsible for a tadpole becoming a frog. Excessive blood proteins, especially in combination with refined, starchy, or excessively cooked carbohydrates cause twice the insulin response resulting in hypoglycemia and sluggish metabolic states. This not only puts  direct stress on the thyroid, but dense, hard to digest protein also creates a toxic colon as well. This results in nitrite formation,  which interferes with iodine metabolism, thus causing greater blood sugar fluctuations. This is also a primary pattern concerning testosterone,  as blood proteins are a primary influence on the male hormones.  Another factor in thyroid conditions is poor sleep habits (staying  up too late or sleeping too late). This can interfere with melatonin production, as a little melatonin supports thyroid function where as too much can suppress thyroid function. Conditions associated  with blood peptides and thyroid function include: Binging Hypo/hyperthyroidism Progesterone issues Bulimia Hypoglycemia Seafood intolerance Depression Melatonin issues Sex drive Eating disorders Menorrhagia Sugar cravings Epilepsy Multiple sclerosis Testosterone issues Goiter PMS Vitiligo Basal  temperature : Axillary temperature should be 97.8 (+/- 0.3 degrees)...women should take their temperature for a full cycle or, at the very least, the third day of their period.  If your temperature is below 97.4, it is generally indicative of  hypothyroid. Instructions: Shake thermometer down before bedtime. As soon as you wake up, before getting out of bed for anything, place thermometer  under the arm for 10 minutes, or if using a digital thermometer, until it beeps. Record temperature. Primary  Nutritive: "Aerobic  Support" contains protein (and iodine) sources, which are most beneficial for maintaining optimum blood protein balance with less insulin requirement. These proteins are also easily digestible,  thereby, placing less toxic stress on the colon. Secondary Nutritive: "Anabolic Support" supplies bee pollen, which has an ideal protein (30%)  to carbohydrate (50%) ratio for support of carbohydrate metabolism and thyroid function and contains ginger for support blood proteins. Medicinal Formula: "Hormonal-Rx Female or Hormonal-Rx Male" Dietary considerations: Decrease Increase or Add Dairy Sea vegetables Animal Fish Chicken Papaya Potato Pineapple Breads, grains & corn Ginger Refined carb's, pastas,  etc. Stretching exercises: Stretching, yoga, rebounding, etc. Patterns I thru XII Previous Page
