SCIENCE SPIEL

How do heavy metals in the environment mess with the function of this essential gland?

The three metals that specifically attack your thyroid are cadmium, nickel, and mercury.

Research shows that exposure to mercury can result in not only hypothyroidism but thyroid autoimmune conditions as well.

Mercury interferes with the thyroid on 4 levels:

1 – Thyroid: Mercury has a high affinity for your thyroid gland. It not only stores in this precious gland, but it also takes the place of iodine — which is a crucial component to thyroid hormone production. Your thyroid hormones are made of iodine.

2 – Pituitary: the pituitary gland signals to the hypothalamus to make more TSH. Mercury interferes with the feedback loop from T4 back to the pituitary cells that regulates TSH synthesis.

3 – Hypothalamus: Mercury can deposit in the hypothalamus. When this happens, TSH manufacture can be inhibited. Additionally, TRH – thyrotropin releasing hormone – is manufactured in the hypothalamus. Mercury can deposit in the thyrotropes that manufacture TSH. TSH manufacture is then inhibited and less can be produced.

Mercury interferes in signaling and the cells themselves by interfering in the delicate feedback loop that converts T4 to T3 and then the signal communicating back to the hypothalamus.

4 – Blood: it inhibits the conversion of Free T4 to Free T3 in blood. Mercury poisons enzymes like DI Autonasers that convert Free T4 to T3 in blood circulation.

Cadmium is stored in your pituitary gland — the master gland that signals your thyroid to produce its hormones. Research shows that cadmium exposure can increase the production of both T4 and T3, interrupting the natural hormonal balance.

Interestingly, some research shows that in men, cadmium may have the opposite effect — inhibiting thyroid function and contributing to hypothyroidism.

Nickel has been indicated in Chronic Autoimmune Thyroiditis (CAT), also known as Hashimoto’s disease. Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disorder in which your immune system attacks your thyroid gland, damaging it so that it cannot produce adequate hormones, resulting in hypothyroidism.

Mercury induces Hashimoto’s. Depending upon one’s genetics, people can develop antibodies to different types of mercury, including inorganic mercury from mercury fillings or methylmercury from fish. You can find antibodies to one or all of the above with metal antibodies testing. Most commonly mercury can induce antithyroglobulin antibodies involved in Hashimoto’s, but can also induce the antibodies that cause Grave’s disease.

Hashimoto’s doesn’t always induce hypothyroidism or low thyroid hormones. You can get Hashimoto’s apart from hypothyroidism and still have a reasonable production of hormones. You can have antibodies attacking your thyroid yet have normal production of T3 and T4 if you have hashimoto’s.

BUILDING and REPAIRING our 70+ trillion cells is a lot like building and repairing a home. It takes Materials and Labor.

MATERIALS for a cell are all the things we eat and have been supplementing with for decades:
🍊Vitamins
🍊Minerals
🍊Antioxidants
🍊Proteins
🍊Carbohydrates
🍊Fats

LABOR is performed at the cellular level by molecules that every cell in your body produce. They are called
💦REDOX SIGNALING MOLECULES💦 (RSMs)

RSMs are responsible for detecting problems and then signaling to bring materials in to either repair or replace a damaged cell, They Provide The Labor. Before puberty you produce lots of RSMs. You have all the materials you need and an abundance of Labor. You heal like Extreme Home Makeover, cells are repaired and replaced at an alarming rate. Then, every year after puberty you make less and less RSMs, the result is your crew to perform labor gets smaller and smaller every year, and there was nothing you could do about it.

It becomes more difficult to heal as we age. Up until now, when we had a health condition, all we could do is focus on the materials.

Take MORE vitamins, minerals, antioxidants etc... but regardless of what we did nutritionally, our labor force to use those materials continued to get smaller and smaller. The miracle of Asea is they have Stabilized Redox Signaling Molecules in their Bioactive form. So now for the first time in the history of the world, you can supplement directly with the LABOR required to heal. When you have the materials and labor together, that is when You start to heal like Extreme Home Makeover!

Collagen is the primary building block of your body's connective tissues. It makes up:

30 % of the protein in your body
70% of the protein in the skin
80% of the protein in bones

Collagen is the building block of your organs, tendons, ligaments, tissues, blood vessels, skin, hair and nails.

Here's some visible signs of Collagen deficiency to look out for:

Thinning hair.
Hair loss
Joint pain
Osteoarthritis
Dull hair
Osteoporosis
Leaky Gut
Loss of strength
Cardiovascular disease
Tendon/ Ligament injuries
Hollowing around the eyes and face
Liver disease

Here's what having optimal collagen levels can do:

Help replace dead skin cells
Give structure, strength and elasticity to skin
Improve hydration
Reduce skin aging
Promote shinier fuller hair volume
Increase fat loss
Reduce joint pain and stiffness
Support cartilage health
Reduce tendon/ ligament injuries and tendonitis
Improve mineral density and bone growth
Supports strong nails
Helps the blood clot
and many more...

Why do we need to supplement?

We produce less as we age (1% less each year, starting at age 20)
Existing Collagen is lower in quality
MAJOR decline begins age 60
Women after menopause are more affected

Collagen supplementation is a crucial investment in maintaining your health and well-being, particularly as you age. It serves as the fundamental support your body needs to look and feel your best throughout life. I have personally noticed a huge difference in my skin nails and hair and I'm in love with the flavour!

Asea are running a SPECIAL DEAL for the Collagen sachets that end Sunday!!
