2.3.1. Introduction to Healing the Thyroid
and the Immune System
The primary function of the thyroid is to produce and release
hormones that help regulate metabolism—the process by which
the body converts food into energy. The two main hormones
produced by the thyroid are triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine
(T4). These hormones influence the rate at which cells use
energy, affecting processes such as growth, development, and
body temperature regulation.
The thyroid also plays a significant role in the immune system.
It produces certain immune cells and proteins that help defend
the body against infections and foreign invaders. Additionally,
thyroid hormones interact with immune cells, influencing their
activity and response to pathogens.
Throughout this chapter, you will find inspiring firsthand
testimonies from individuals who have experienced the
remarkable effects of this approach. Their stories bear witness
to the potential for healing and restoration when we tap into the
innate wisdom of our bodies and embrace alternative paths to
well-being.
