A complaint I often hear from men and woman who have been on long term medication for low thyroid is this:  I’ve taken the pills for years but I only gain more weight.  Why?

Having worked with scores of men and women all over the world, I am continually surprised by the number of people who, having been prescribed thyroid hormones struggle longterm with mounting weight that they cannot seem to lose no matter what they do – people who nevertheless shed weight consistently and keep it off permanently on Cura Romana.

Let’s look at some of the common assumptions about the relationship between thyroid function, weight gain and weight loss then maybe explore why  Cura Romana is so successful for them?

Thyroid hormones have long been used as a weight loss tool in the past with little success. Only small amounts of weight tend to be lost. Once thyroid hormones are stopped, weight lost is usually regained. Often it is regained even when thyroid medication is continued. Sadly there can be significant negative consequences from the use of thyroid hormone to help with weight loss for instance the loss of muscle tissue. And when the dose of thyroid hormone is increased can create other problems such as disrupting hormone balance. For good health the endocrine system, which functions as a whole, needs to become balanced.

All the glands in our bodies depend upon one another to function properly. The thyroid gland, for example, depends upon the pituitary gland to help control the production of thyroid hormones. The pituitary gland produces thyroid stimulating hormone (or TSH). This hormone promotes thyroid hormone production and releases the hormones into the blood stream. When the thyroid hormone level is low, the pituitary gland senses this and releases TSH, which, in turn, tells the thyroid gland to make and release thyroid hormone into the bloodstream. This process is often compared to the working of a furnace: a thermostat senses cold air, tells the furnace to turn on and produce heat, and when the air is warm enough, the thermostat tells the furnace to shut off.

Any hormone introduced into the body whether drug or nature-identical can disrupt not only the functioning of the gland it has been targeted to treat but the balance of many other hormones as well.

It was almost  a hundred years ago that scientists discovered the thyroid gland controls metabolism – in other words the rate of at which your body consumes its fuel.  Doctors way back then came to believe that giving thyroid gland itself or prescribing thyroid hormones to overweight people would make them lose weight.  Such notions have proved to be deeply disappointing – yet many still this.  You see the abnormal fat deposits we are wanting to shed don’t get involved in the turnover of energy. This is one reason why weight loss diets don’t get rid of excess fat from so-called difficult areas like bellies in men and waists and thighs in woman.  Nonetheless, many still prescribe thyroid medication to people who complain they cannot shed weight.

Simeons who created Cura Romana understood that giving thyroid medication to an overweight man or woman just  forces the body to consume its normal fat reserves, which are already depleted and which no one should lose and then to break down structurally essential fat without touching the abnormal deposits.

In this way,” Simeons said, “a patient may be brought to the brink of starvation in spite of having a hundred pounds of fat to spare.” In the thirty years he spent studying the cause and cure for obesity and in all his his successful clinical treatments Simeons found that the majority of overweight people have a perfectly normal thyroid gland. Some, he discovered,  even have an overactive thyroid.  Only occasionally did he come upon an obese person with a real thyroid deficiency.  He says, “Much misunderstanding about the supposed role of the thyroid gland in obesity is still met with, and it is now really high time that thyroid preparations be once and for all struck off the list of remedies for obesity. This is particularly so because giving thyroid gland to an obese patient whose thyroid is either normal or overactive, besides being useless, is often decidedly dangerous.”

I often ask myself why it is that so many people who have been on thyroid medication seem to thrive on HCG+FOOD PLAN and then make their weight loss permanent through the CONSOLIDATION process.  In truth I do not know the answer to this question.  But it is a wonderful thing to witness taking place. And frequently, with the help of their doctor they decide to reduce the hormones they have been taking or to stop taking any thyroid medication whatsoever.  I strongly suspect that it is the remarkable balancing that Cura Romana brings not only to the fat control centers in the brain but indirectly often to the endocrine system as a whole.  For I also see women frequently able to eliminate the use of both drug and nature-identical hormones that they may have been using for years.  “I just don’t need them any more” they tell me.  The hot flushes are gone, the PMS has dramatically reduced or been eliminated altogether.  As one participant said to me last week, “I feel like I’ve been released from a drug-built prison and it’s great.”
