Hey,

Glyphosate is a huge issue with the attack on the thyroid (and prior elevated TPOs) – ION Biome is a great product for cleaning this up or you can use biotherapeutic drianage and Gemmotherapy.

With herpes, baicalin is amazing for knocking it out – taken internally (is in the Pure encapsulations TH1 Support formula) and applied topically with some oil (LiftMode powder is the best). You likely have issues with amino acids and with B12 deficiency. Have you tested B levels? If gut was a big issue for you in the past, you may also not have been absorbing B12, in which case you may consider injections and/or liquid supplementation along with colostrum. Hormone production is also very dependent upon adequate amino acids and liver enzyme contributions.

Overall, the outbreaks suggest inadequate Th1 response. If you’re having herpes outbreaks, your immune system should be responding somehow. Your total WBC count ought to be up into the higher part of the range, for example. Often, patients with increased viral burden have too much anergy (lack of response), sometimes driven by elevation of TGFbeta, driven by MDSC’s. Or, there is burnout of the best and next best matched clones that were previously keeping the herpes inhibited. You can ask your practitioner about clonal burnout.

With regard to the thyroid nodules, remember that thyroid nodules are exceedingly common. Surgeons always want to take out half or all of the thyroid just because there are nodules. A clear, thorough thyroid workup will clarify whether this needs to happen. Most often, it does not. One should not remove the thyroid “just in case.” Remember that we don’t know everything about what the thyroid, or any other part of the body, does. We should not assume that we can take the gland out, give T4, and be break-even. That is not reality. Hope this helps!
