The main reasons I set out to share information on the subject are:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Skin disease&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Neurological disorders&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Behavior issues&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re relatively new to the topic of thyroids, you\u2019re probably not aware of the connection between these common issues. Or that you should address the thyroid as a component of managing them.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In fact, I believe we should look at the thyroid for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ALL <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">chronic inflammatory conditions<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And that\u2019s why I want to talk about how to improve thyroid function. That way you can help prevent and resolve thyroid problems in your dog.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Health Issues Related To Hypothyroidism In Dogs&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are two main types of thyroid diseases.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Hypothyroidism<\/strong> \u2013 this is the most common condition in dogs. It happens when your dog doesn\u2019t produce enough thyroid hormones.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Hyperthyroidism<\/strong> \u2013 very rare in dogs. It happens when your dog produces too many thyroid hormones.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most neurologic, skin, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ear<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">joint conditions<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> have a significant hypothyroid component. And many go undiagnosed. Dogs with seizures as well as phobias, anxiety, or depression also need to have a full thyroid panel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The goal is to catch hypothyroidism signs early. This could be the key to intervention for other disease relationships.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have 20 years of clinical veterinary experience. In that time I have found the most effective ways to understand hypothyroidism disease relationships are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Muscle testing&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prioritization protocols&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Effective dosing therapies<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How To Improve Thyroid Function&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are ways to dramatically improve thyroid hormone use and enhance healing. These include \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Enhancing critical thyroid cofactors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reducing fluoride exposure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mitigating EMF exposure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Regular <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">detoxification<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (especially from chemicals and heavy metals)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Treating co-infections&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Low dose natural hormone replacement<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Glandulars<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Homeopathy&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And that\u2019s just a few of the things you can do to help a dog with thyroid problems. Let\u2019s look at some of these in more detail.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How Food Affects Thyroid Problems In Dogs&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When it comes to improving your dog\u2019s thyroid function, you need to make changes to what your dog is eating and drinking. Some of the first changes you should make (if you haven\u2019t already) are adding \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fluoride free filtered water<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fermented foods<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Exercise in nature&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">High-quality natural foods (start with gluten-free and then identify top inflammatory sensitivities)&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These changes can make a huge difference in the quality of life for your dog and overall health and vitality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You also need to address \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The microbiome (the community of bacteria and other microorganisms living in and on your dog)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Digestion<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Absorption of key nutrients<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The gut and the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">entire microbiome<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are crucial for the immune system. Taking care of them will help with any underlying infections and systemic inflammation.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The gut and microbiome also directly relate to the degree of brain inflammation. And this can affect behavior and seizures. Science has proven there\u2019s absolutely no separation; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">leaky gut<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> equals leaky brain.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even in cases that affect the central nervous system. You still need to address gastrointestinal pain and inflammation. If your dog has ulcers, it can lower tremor or seizure thresholds dramatically. And <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Helicobacter pylori <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">is a stomach pathogen that may be at play in more cases than we know.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you start managing your dog\u2019s digestive tract, food sensitivities will reduce. Some steps that are important for overall health include \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Regular fasting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scheduled <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">gentle detox<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (I\u2019ll talk more about detox later on)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Liver support<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Incorporating some natural fibrous nutrients is also an excellent start:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Asparagus<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Green beans<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Beetroot<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cooked broccoli<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cooked brussels sprouts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carrots<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Celery (also good for eradicating retroviruses \u2013 go slowly)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cucumber<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Garlic<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lettuce<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mushrooms<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cooked spinach<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It can also be very beneficial for the prevention of early hypothyroidism symptoms to add small to moderate amounts of \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Blueberries<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Avocados<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Almonds<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oysters<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pumpkin seeds<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Flaxseed oil&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You also want to research and avoid the top <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">glyphosate<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> containing foods. You may find it surprising that most kibbles are likely contaminated.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nutrients To Boost Thyroid Health<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your dog needs many nutrients for healthy thyroid function. Deficiencies of any of them could cause thyroid problems.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Iodine&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Iodine is important as it\u2019s the center of thyroid hormone molecules. Earlier I mentioned reducing fluoride exposure. One reason is because fluoride displaces iodine in thyroid hormone production.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I recommend kelp to start adding more iodine to your dog\u2019s diet. You can also try other sources of iodine with better iodine bioavailability \u2026&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seaweed (bladderwrack)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lugol\u2019s&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Magnascent iodine<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ferritin (Iron)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ferritin is also critical. I recommend whole foods or supplements containing natural heme iron. This includes \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Standard Process Ferrofood<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gaia Plant ForceLiquid<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Standard iron sup\u00adplements can be very toxic if your dog has blocked detoxification pathways.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Zinc And Selenium&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just like humans, dogs can have genetic damage that impairs detoxification. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Zinc and selenium<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> play vital roles in the conversion of T4 to T3 (thyroid hormones) in the liver. They also contribute to thyroid hormone production.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These are some of the most important trace minerals your dog needs. So, in some thyroid conditions, dogs need selective supplementation. I have seen many zinc deficiencies in pure breeds, especially select large breeds. And most allergy cases are selenium deficient.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are a lot of discrepancies of best absorbed forms. I find it very individualized when muscle testing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vitamins&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vitamin A and exercise may assist with cellular sensitivity to thyroid hormones.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other vitamins are also essential cofactors for proper thyroid hormone production. This includes vitamins \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">E<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">B2<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">B3<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">B6<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">C&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">D&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Methyl\u00adated B12 and folate supplementation are also almost always needed for cases related to \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brain&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Behavior<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gastrointestinal tract&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Skin<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vitamin K2 plays a role in thyroid health and calcium bioavailability.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Digestive Enzymes&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Low gastric acid secretions related to hypothyroidism dramatically affect nutrient absorption. To offset this, I suggest strong pancreatic <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">digestive enzymes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Some dogs may even need hydrochlo\u00adric acid containing enzymes.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When severe cases have stabilized (or for prevention) you may also want to add \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fermented foods&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Apple cider vinegar&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thyroid Hormone Support<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If there are low T4 or T3 levels, I recommend low dosing with natural thyroid hormone support, such as \u2026&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Armour Thyroid<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NatureThroid<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WP Thyroid<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">USP thyroid<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This improves circulation and lymphatic drainage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How Stress Can Affect Thyroid Care&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remember the thyroid and adrenal glands respond to stress. That means some days your dog may need more or less medication. For example, he may need slightly higher doses at times of \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Intense family stress<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trauma&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Heavy exercise&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Physical therapy&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Allergic Reactions And Sensitivities<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some animals can also develop sensitivities to certain thyroid treatments. This includes the natural ones. Keep a journal of what you introduce to your dog and when. This is always a helpful idea with chronic disease management.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Clearing Out The Chemicals<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Holistic vets agree that traditionally diagnosed canine hypothyroidism is usually autoimmune in nature. There are heavy metal components in vaccines, which drive brain toxicities. But it isn\u2019t just vaccines. Your dog gets <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">bombarded daily<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> by the environment with heavy metals and chemicals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Urban environments may have a much higher risk because of \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The levels of atmospheric geoengineering (chemical trails)&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">EMF (electromagnetic frequency) exposure&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Limitations of nature exposure for physical grounding<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because of the strong link between the toxin component and autoimmune issues \u2026 all cases need gentle detoxification.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My favorite detoxifiers are<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">milk thistle<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and homeopathy or homotox\u00adicology drainage. Later, when you stabilize your dog\u2019s thyroid, you can introduce more detoxifi\u00adcation. Move slowly and use specific detoxification cofactors to prevent breakthrough seizures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other gentle and effective detoxifiers include:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thyroid flower essences<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Low potency homeopathy (such as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thyroidinum<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> 6C,12C, 6X or 12X or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Calcarea carbonica<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> 30C)&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Glandular supplements (Standard Process Thytrophin PMG or Thyro Complex and other cofactor combinations)&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Herbal combinations may be an excellent place to start if there are severe symptoms. Try herbs such as \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ashwagandha<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Coleus forskohlii&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Turmeric<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They can be very beneficial. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mushrooms<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> may also play a key role in immune support and thyroid function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When detoxing, you also want to \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Support general immune function&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Treat co-infections&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is critical as significant symptoms may present when detoxification processes are underway.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And don\u2019t forget about inflam\u00admation. It can show up anywhere in or on the body during the healing process. If this happens, don\u2019t stop but get experienced advice.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There\u2019s evidence that the cortisol pathway may need support in many hypothyroid cases. I find low doses with a natural hydrocortisone assists the body. And it dramatically improves quality of life for those with inflam\u00admatory cascades. Especially in neurologic and skin cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The key is to go slow and steady and pay attention \u2026 only you know your pet best.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My #1 Recommendation: EMF Reduction&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">EMF reduction and mitigation is at the top of the priority list. New evidence shows EMF radiation is not only a primary endocrine disruptor \u2026 it\u2019s a key microbiome disruptor as well. And there\u2019s evidence that EMFs also intensify the negative effects of toxins and infections.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That\u2019s why EMF mitigation and earthing practices may be the most imperative factor. Not only for our pets, but for ourselves as well.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019ve recently found evidence that vibrational therapies may help with thyroid problems and EMF cellular damage. These include ..&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Structured water<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Light therapy&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF)&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And many are having positive results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Few practitioners are aware of or treating this elephant in the room. But we can\u2019t heal effectively or even digest our food and supplements if we have a constant barrage of chaotic frequencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I had a building biologist come to measure frequency levels in my home.
