The two conditions are hypothyroidism, not enough hormone production or utlization, and the other is hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid that causes too much hormone production.

Hypothyroidism is the more common condition with its symptoms of low energy, fatigue, low libido, overweight problems and sensitivity to cold.

Hyperthyroidism can lead to nervousness, restlessness, manic behavior, and difficulty concentrating. Goiter and weight loss can also manifest. Pre-Nazi Germany used sodium fluoride to reduce the excessive hormone production of hyperthyroid patients.

Now, fluoride is in over 75 percent of USA’s public water supplies, to keep American citizens dumb and docile with decreased thyroid hormone production.

It’s a good idea to eliminate the possibility of Hashimoto’s disease before pursuing hypothyroid solutions because the solutions for hypothyroidism are actually dangerous for those with Hashimoto’s disease.

That’s because the T3, T4, and TH hormone counts can appear normal with someone experiencing thyroid hormone resistance. Also, allopathic endocrinologists often have a low expectation of normal. When it comes to remedying thyroid hormone resistance, the high amounts of thyroid hormone Dr. Lowe recommends shock the average endocrinologist.

Dr. Lowe has discovered that treating fibromyalgia complaints the same as hypothyroidism works very well. He uses an additional TRH (thyroid releasing hormone) test with symptom observations.

A simple self-administered test would be to take your temperature immediately upon waking up from a regular night’s sleep. A low temperature indicates probable thyroid hormone deficiency, according to Donna Gates of Body Ecology website.

Here is an abbreviated list of other symptoms, most of which resemble fibromyalgia.

* Fatigue mistaken as fibromyalgia
* Unable to lose or stop gaining weight
* Feeling cold easily and often
* Dry skin, eyes, or hair
* Excess muscle tension
* Low immunity
* Low basal body temperature
* Delayed tendon reflex, when the foot returns position slowly after tapping the Achilles heel

Keep in mind that the traditional size Japanese teacup holds 3.5 ounces. The common teacup capacity of Western teacups is six ounces. So that translates into three cups daily for Westerners. The Japanese research team claimed they did factor in diet, lifestyle, location, and environment to determine their results.

However, the difference of 13 percent who drank less than a cup of green tea per day becoming functionally disabled, compared with just over seven percent of people who drank at least five cups a day isn’t as impressive, yet is supportive of other studies and observations regarding aging in correlation to green tea consumption.

The Okinawa observations
Okinawa is the major island North of several Ryukyu Islands. It is 400 miles south of Japan with some of oldest disease free and active people in the world. The average life span extends into the mid-80s. These are not retirees struggling with diabetes and dementia issues. These are lean, vibrant participants of quality living.

At first this characteristic was assumed as hereditary. Then it became obvious that when several Okinawans moved to Brazil, or when the younger set began frequenting fast food places in and around U.S. Okinawan military bases, their life spans declined as autoimmune and cardiac disease, as well as cancer, increased.

So their dietary habits and lifestyle became the focus of attention. A few factors came to light involved with how and what Okinawans eat, as well as their overall attitudes. Unlike most other Asian cultures, the elderly of Okinawa drink large amounts of a unique blend of jasmine green tea known as sanpin tea.

Jasmine green tea is made from the youngest leaves, grown seasonally at moderately high altitudes. This is important because of green tea’s known natural fluoride content. The older tea leaves, decaffeinated and instant teas, as well as cheap brick package teas have the highest concentration of fluoride. The youngest leaves cultivated properly with buds have the least significant amount of fluoride.

This proves that the quality of the green tea, in which you consume, is very important. Don’t skimp if you want to get benefits, like those experienced by the Okinawans. Quality green tea has a unique antioxidant blend for heart health, diabetes prevention, weight loss, and even curbing cancer without the potential hazards of fluoride.

You may want to research green tea extracts to get those polyphenols and ECGC compounds without fluorides, especially if you’re not into drinking tea much. Dr. Joseph Mercola’s solution for gaining green tea benefits without risking long term fluoride toxicity is to use green tea extracts that are fluoride and caffeine free.

Most of the mainstream cancer research was done with green tea extracts. They found that the extracts helped destroy cancer cells while not harming normal cells. Green tea extracts are not patentable money makers. So that knowledge didn’t get too far into AMA oncology.

However, the American connection for Bachmair’s study can be found at VaccineInjury.info website that has added a link for parents of vaccinated children to participate in the study. So far this ongoing survey has well over 11,000 respondents, mostly from the U.S.A. Other studies have surveyed smaller groups of families.

Nevertheless, the results were similar. Of course, none of these studies were picked up by the MSM (mainstream media). None were funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or the World Health Organization (WHO) or any national or international health agency or medical profession group

They don’t dare compare the health of unvaccinated children to vaccinated children objectively and risk disrupting their vaxmania (vaccination mania). The focus for all the studies was mostly on childhood illnesses occurring as the children matured.

Dramatic, debilitating, or lethal vaccine injuries were not the focus since so few, five percent or less, actually get reported to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Injury Reporting System) in the U.S.A. for various reasons including:

* It’s a complicated system that takes time from a doctor’s practice.
* Most parents don’t know about it.
* Only adverse reactions that occur immediately after vaccinations are considered.
* Since VAERS is voluntary, most doctors don’t want to incriminate themselves with vaccination injuries and maintain their denial of vaccine dangers.

Consequently, even the most terrible adverse reactions are minimally acknowledged, while long term negative health issues resulting from vaccines are not even considered relevant.

The differences were dramatic, with unvaccinated children showing far less incidence of common childhood ailments than vaccinated children (http://www.vaccineinjury.info/images/stories/ias1992study.pdf).

From a different survey in the South Island New Zealand city of Christchurch, among children born during or after 1977, none of the unvaccinated children had asthma events where nearly 25% of the vaccinated children were treated for asthma by age 10 (http://www.vaccineinjury.info/images/stories/ias1992study.pdf).

Many of the comments from non-vaccinating parents to VaccineInjury.info for the ongoing Bachmair survey mentioned vaccination danger and developing true immunity naturally were concerns (http://www.vaccineinjury.info).

A PhD immunologist who wrote the book Vaccine Illusion, Dr. Tetyana Obukhanych, has gone against the dogma of her medical training and background. She asserts that true immunity to any disease is not conferred by vaccines. Exposure to the disease, whether contracted or not, does (http://www.vaccinationcouncil.org).

Perhaps the most informal grass-roots survey going on now is by Tim O’Shea, DC, author of Vaccination is Not Immunization. He simply has non-vaccinating parents email him with comparisons of their children’s health to friends and families they know with vaccinated children. That and more is available on his site (http://www.thedoctorwithin.com).

Normally, when high liver enzyme counts are discovered in a blood test, a Hep-C test is ordered. The experts who debunk this test argue that the phantom virus does not pass the full criteria of an actual infectious virus.

Keep in mind that Hep-C is supposedly transmitted by blood, not saliva or sex fluids. Nobel prize winning virologist Peter Duesberg also thinks there is no Hep-C virus.

So do journalist Torsten Engelbrecht and Dr. Claus Koehnlein who put out the book Virus Mania. Their book debunks virus claims for several diseases. But Big Pharma intends to profit highly from fear mongering then developing harmful bogus vaccines and medicines.

Those who agree on the absence of a virus causing Hep-C tend to agree that HIV does not cause AIDS. Gary Null, PhD health activist and author has an actual list of 2729 experts who seriously doubt the AIDS-HIV virus paradigm as of November 2010.

CDC and Big Pharma’s agenda for disease creation
It’s obvious that there is money to be made by scaring almost everyone born between 1945 and 1965 into getting the test and the Hep-A and dangerous Hep-B vaccinations. That should kill off a few and lighten the Social Security payout burden a bit. But on the other hand, Medicare and Medicaid costs may spike.

The CDC claims baby boomers were likely to experiment with injected drug use and should be screened. The Hepatitis Education Program (HEP) of Seattle, Washington writes: “More than 15,000 Americans … die each year from hepatitis C-related illness, such as cirrhosis and liver cancer, … .”

Notice it says die from Hep-C related illnesses. Part of that could be from the interferon drugs (chemo for Hep-C) or other meds prescribed for those diagnosed with Hep-C.

Several drugs and antibiotics carry warnings of liver damage. Even over the counter Tylenol, which contains liver damaging acetomenophine, causes liver damage. Detox and diet don’t make money for Big Pharma, but getting more liver disease patients by putting out liver damaging drugs creates more revenue.

Naturopath Michael Tierra and others have handled Hep-C conditions with herbs and good diet. Many who have been diagnosed lead normal lives with only slight changes in their lifestyles. Hep-C is probably a label for an overburdened toxic liver, which is likely in our toxic age of processed foods and environmental pollution.

This program may fit nicely into either Obama of Romney health care agendas: No Hep-C test and vaccinations could mean no health care even as you pay into program. It may come to pass that dreaded test and vaccination agents knock on senior citizens’ doors demanding entry.

After the cataract covered lens is removed, a synthetic lens is implanted. Usually both eyes are affected, but only one eye is done at a time, just in case. The improvement is not always 100% or permanent. It’s possible for a protein coating to cover the synthetic lens later.

If diagnosed with cataracts, could there be a way get around this scenario? Cataracts do develop slowly. If you can still manage, you may want to take a few weeks and experiment with some alternative treatments at home before surgery.

Alternative approaches for reversing cataracts
The alternative approaches will be presented here for educational purposes only, and the sources below the text can lead you to begin more research.

World renowned author/lecturer Dr. Vasant Lad, director of the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico, recommends triphala tea eyewashes performed two to three times daily. It’s been used successfully for cataracts, glaucoma, pink or red eye, and dry eye. See specific directions here (http://www.scribd.com/doc/59411153/Cataract-Data).

Some glaucoma sufferers use cannabis for effective relief from acute episodes of pain and impaired vision.

Another approach is drinking a shot of strong wheatgrass juice daily along with the eyewashes. A study reported in the January 1, 2005 edition of Biogerontology showed 25 to 40 percent improvement in cataract impaired canines from taking wheatgrass juice orally for one month (1).

The famous master herbalist Dr. John Christopher has his herbal eyebright recipe here (http://www.herballegacy.com/Herbal_Eyebright.html). You can order a prepared herbal eyebright from a link in the recipe page. Several have used it successfully.

Patricia Bragg recommends 1/3 teaspoon of Bragg’s organic apple cider vinegar mixed in four ounces of distilled water for drops or eyewash. Hold with eyes closed for two minutes two or three times daily (2).

A Chinese botanical combination called Shihu-Yeguang might be available wherever acupuncture is taught or done professionally. Five bottles of five pills twice a day for a month is a common treatment round (3).

There are naturally based N-Acetyl-Carnosine (NAC) eye drops available on line (4a-b).

Ginkgo or whatever increases blood flow to the brain and ocular area is also recommended. One should consider using two or more alternative approaches. All these remedies should be used with a good diet base.

Antioxidants including vitamin C are important for reversing deteriorating eye health. You can do your own mega-dose vitamin C (http://www.naturalnews.com).

Avoid processed unsaturated trans-fatty acid hydrogenated oils. Consume only good wholesome unsaturated or saturated fats. Disregard the cholesterol propaganda. Make sure you get your fair share of omega-3 fatty acids. Your eyes, brain, and nerve sheathes are composed of fats, including cholesterol.

Add organic veggie juicing and/or green smoothies while avoiding processed foods and beverages.
