It is well established that tumour and nodular growth is dependent upon angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels. Antiangiogenic therapy represents a new approach to the early intervention and prevention of malignant disease.
Epidemiological studies have provided evidence that apples have cancer-preventive properties, particularly against lung and colorectal cancers.
It is well established that solid tumor and nodular growth is dependent upon angiogenesis; the growth of new blood vessels. Angiogenesis is a critical step in the development of all known cancers, and its inhibition may help in the avoidance and suppression of tumor growth, progression, and metastases (cells spreading).
A natural, bio-identical hormone is generally made from a plant product (such as soy or wild yams) or of porcine origin which has the same structure as the hormones produced in the body. Examples of natural, bio-identical hormones include Desiccated Thyroid, Natural Progesterone, Natural Testosterone, DHEA, Pregnenolone, Natural Estrogens and Melatonin. Because natural, bio-identical hormones have the identical structure of our own endogenously produced hormones, these substances have very few adverse effects associated with them.
Good food + nutrients = a healthy thyroid.
Like all systems in the body, the thyroid too needs certain nutrients and foods to function properly. Thyroid hormones are made from Tyrosine (a protein) and iodine (a halide mineral).
Hypothyroidism is one of the most commonly missed conditions by blood screening and affects millions of people, predominantly women, in the western world. This condition is poorly managed by current blood testing methods.
Hypothyroidism is an under-active or low performing thyroid, meaning it isn’t naturally producing...
Hyperthyroidism or over-active thyroid refers to conditions caused by excessive thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland.
Hyperthyroidism is notoriously difficult to treat and it is imperative you seek the care of an experienced integrative practitioner (integrative means a practitioner that understands the importance of specific nutrient dosing and is able to utilise a combination of natural treatments and conventional medial approaches).

There are many different blood tests available that aim to measure thyroid function, so which one do you need?
The accurate diagnosis of your thyroid function is imperative if you want to lead a thoroughly healthy life. So how do you find out what’s really going on?
When the thyroid gland is functioning properly it will regulate the hormones that ensure a balanced rate of metabolism. Your pituitary gland secretes TSH, which stimulates the thyroid to produce T3, T4, and calcitonin, within your bloodstream.
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped hormonal gland that sits at the front of your throat. It sits just below your Adams apple and has two lobes that rest on either side of your wind pipe.
