Advice Please

Hi guys

I am pretty cany on survival methods. I can eat from a forest, get all the shelter, warmth, liquids etc that I will need to survive but I have one great problem.

I have an underactive thyroid gland, if I do not take medication every day I soon become unable to maintain the energy level needed for survival.

Does anyone have any advice on things in nature that increase a bodies metabolism?

If not then I guess when the curtain falls my first stop will be the chemist for a lifetime supply of pills :p

honey perhaps?

You need to know and obtain food stuff that contain high levels of Iodine. Thyroxine is the hormone your thyroid makes to keep your metabolism working correctly, and thyroxine`s key ingredient is Iodine ( iodide ), just like Haemeglobin`s key ingredient is Iron.

Hope that helps.;)

and a website that is articled [hope that is a word] in the latest Nexus Magazine. I haven't read the whole article myself yet, but there is something interesting there.

Seaweed is your friend.

Move to the seaside.
Not only can you eat most species of seaweed,
but common species are high in iodine,
and probably would be very beneficial to thyroid
problem sufferers - unless overactive - then avoid.

Hi

The thyroid gland is related to the Throat Chakra energy system within your body. There are other various alternative ways to help you rebalance/heal the condition such as the use of crystals, colour healing, energy re-balancing and releasing of the emotions and past, sound therapy etc. Lapis Lazuli crystals, Sodalite and Blue Quartz are wonderful balancing crystals. You could also look at colour for colour healing or releasing any blocked/past energy in that area to rebalance and heal your thyroid condition.
