Thyroid Goiter According to GNM
I was seeing a 17-year-old male for an issue and at the end of the session his mother asked me if there was anything I could do to help her with her goiter.
Here is her story: the doctor told her teenage son that he had a heart condition which required surgery. And in the meantime he would have to give up hockey. Hockey was his life and his mother, while sitting at the doctor’s office with him and upon hearing the news, took on a DHS.
She said she was devastated for her son, that he couldn’t play hockey. Obviously, she felt powerless, which we know because of her goiter, and which she presented with after the conflict was resolved. Her son had had the surgery and was back playing hockey again.
When we feel powerless, or not able to be in control, the thyroid ducts become ulcerated. There is no change in hormones. These ducts are squamous epithelial tissue controlled by the Cerebral Cortex.
The biological purpose of this widening of the ducts is to allow more thyroxine to be carried to the blood, facilitating the organism to “get control.”
In the healing phase, once the conflict is resolved, the ulceration is replenished with new cells and with swelling the ducts get blocked causing a thyroid cyst or goiter.
Cysts harden with repetitive relapses. Because of the cyst(s) blocking the duct less thyroxine can be released into the blood stream. Constant relapses cause a chronic short thyroxine supply. This is NOT what is clinically called “hypothyroidism.” Hypothyroidism is a disorder of the thyroid gland, which is controlled by the brain stem.
See the difference? In hyper/hypothyroidism from a cancer more thyroxine is produced to speed up metabolism until healing, when less thyroxine can be produced because of the gland tissue being lost from the TB breaking it down; whereas in a cyst or goiter the ducts are initially widened to let the thyroxine through to the blood stream. It’s when the goiter or cyst blocks the duct that thyroxine, which is still being produced at a normal rate, cannot get through (different than less thyroxine being produced in hypothyroidism).
Those people at risk for goiters or cysts are those who need to be in control.
“Every disease originates from a shock or trauma that catches us completely by surprise.”
