00:49 Hello and welcome to Health for a Lifetime.
00:50 I'm your host Don Mackintosh. 00:52 We're glad you've joined us today out of your busy schedule. 00:55 There's a big problem in America called hypothyroidism and to 00:59 talk with us about this today is Dr. David DeRose. 01:01 Dr. DeRose is from Oklahoma. 01:04 He has a ministry that couples both ministry's spiritual 01:08 aspects and actual treatment of physical conditions called 01:13 compasshealth. net 01:14 Dr. DeRose is both board certified in internal medicine 01:21 and preventive medicine. 01:22 He spent his life looking at natural and also medical 01:26 approaches to many of the diseases. 01:28 But also you're interested in the spiritual aspects too. 01:30 No question, I mean, the Lord got my attention early in my 01:35 life as a college student. 01:37 When He turned my life around He really opened my mind up 01:43 to caring for my own health. 01:45 I was not a very healthy person. 01:47 I didn't have a good level of health. 01:50 It wasn't like I was in the hospital a lot but I had plenty 01:53 of problems even as a relatively young person. 01:55 The Lord ministered to my life and He's given me the privilege 02:00 of ministering to many people through medical practice. 02:03 This venture of compasshealth. net 02:05 that puts your whole family together. 02:08 You're all involved in ministry. 02:09 I think your wife is a physician, is that correct? 02:12 My wife is a physician. 02:13 She's actually the business manager of the company. 02:15 So she's more behind the scenes. 02:17 CompassHealth takes on a number of evangelistic projects, 02:21 at least one major overseas project each year. 02:25 That's part of what we do. 02:26 We do that as a family. 02:28 That's what we've done the last couple of years. 02:30 Wonderful! 02:31 Today we're going to talk about hypothyroidism. 02:34 Some of the things we talked about you'll probably have up 02:36 on your website. 02:37 If people go to compasshealth. net 02:40 they'll be able to read more details about what we're 02:44 covering. 02:45 What is hypothyroidism and how big a problem is it? 02:48 Don, it's a huge problem. 02:50 Hypothyroidism effects some 2% of women across the board 02:55 in our country. 02:56 Only about a 10th as many men but once we get to be over 60 02:59 those figures jump dramatically about 6% of women and 2% of men. 03:04 So we're talking about a large problem. 03:06 The other part of your question what is it, hypothyroidism 03:11 is really all that the term means. 03:12 Hypo means low, thyroid has to do with production of a hormone 03:17 from this gland at the base of our necks. 03:19 So it's low production of an important metabolic hormone 03:23 known as thyroid hormone. 03:25 Thyroid hormone is kind of like maestro - it coordinates 03:28 a lot of different things. 03:29 That's right. 03:30 If your thyroid hormone function is low it is going to tend to 03:33 slow down a variety of functions in your body. 03:37 Your pulse can be slower, your energy level can be lower, 03:40 you can tend toward depression, you can be frankly depressed, 03:44 constipation, all these things can go along with 03:46 low thyroid functions. 03:48 So what's this hoarseness and thickening of the tongue? 03:50 Is that true? 03:52 Yes, actually hoarseness can be vocal changes. 03:54 There can actually be in bad hypothyroidism. 03:57 There can be a build up in the tissues, a thickening 04:02 of the tongue as well as changes in the skin of the legs. 04:06 A number of things can occur in a condition called myxedema. 04:09 Hair loss? 04:11 Hair loss, yes. 04:13 And you look at my head, Don, and you laugh 04:16 But the hair loss that you get is a classic pattern. 04:19 You tend to loose the outer portion of your eyebrows. 04:23 You're exactly right. 04:29 If a woman, remember it's more common in women about 10 times 04:33 more common in younger women than younger men, so if a woman 04:37 is noticing lot's of hair coming out this could be a sign of 04:40 hypothyroidism. 04:41 Usually going along with lower energy level. 04:44 Weight gain, huge issue in our country. 04:47 Many people have weight problems. 04:49 Part of their problem is a thyroid problem and many times 04:52 it's undiagnosed. 04:53 Is it reversible? 04:54 Well, it's a good question. 04:56 The answer is one of those classic medical answers 05:00 "It depends. " 05:01 It depends on what? 05:03 It really depends on what the cause of the hypothyroidism is. 05:06 There are a variety of things that cause hypothyroidism. 05:10 The single most common cause of hypothyroidism in children 05:14 over 8 and all the way into adulthood is something called 05:17 Hoshimoto's Thyroiditis. 05:19 Hoshimoto's Thyroiditis is an autoimmune destruction of the 05:28 thyroid gland. 05:30 So the body is attacking this gland, it's being wiped out. 05:34 That is basically an irreversible scenario. 05:37 It doesn't mean that you have zero thyroid function the minute 05:41 it's diagnosed, but once the body is attacking the thyroid 05:45 you're not typically going to regain that function. 05:48 But there are many other causes of hypothyroidism 05:51 caused by a virus, for example. 05:53 Or following a viral illness. 05:55 After pregnancy, classic cause of hypothyroidism, 05:59 postpartum hypothyroidism is what we call it. 06:03 Many times that's fully reversible. 06:06 So, you've terrified some of us. 06:09 Just with the name Hoshimoto's? - laughter - 06:12 No, with hypothyroidism and seeing the dangers. 06:15 How can I tell if my thyroid then is normal? 06:19 If you read books in the health food store, 06:22 they'll tell you all kinds of things. 06:23 Same with the internet. 06:25 I believe the Lord's way of dealing with thyroid control 06:31 in our body is the best way to get an insight into how 06:35 our thyroid is doing. 06:37 Ok, that's good, but how do I tell if it's normal? 06:39 And then I want to talk about that. 06:40 Well, I'm going to answer your question by telling you 06:43 how it works. 06:44 The thyroid is not just an autonomously functioning organ. 06:50 It has control. 06:51 The Lord has made us so there are other parts of our body 06:54 to talk to our thyroid. 06:55 One of those parts of the body is called the pituitary gland 07:01 laying at the base of our brain. 07:02 I'd point to it but it... well right there in the middle... 07:06 you see the intersection. - laughter - 07:07 Right at the base of your brain and then above that 07:10 in the brain itself is the hypothalamus. 07:13 These regions of the body are monitoring thyroid function. 07:16 Now, Don, I know you're a parent. 07:19 Maybe I shouldn't ask you this on international TV but I'm 07:23 going to stick my neck out. 07:24 Do your children always come immediately 07:27 when you call for them? 07:28 Well, judging between mine and yours - yes - laughter - 07:33 No, no, they don't. 07:35 They may not have heard you the first time. 07:36 That's right! 07:38 So what do you do if your kids don't come when you first call? 07:40 I call them again. 07:42 Maybe a little bit louder. 07:43 Maybe, some. 07:45 That's what the pituitary does with your thyroid. 07:47 If the thyroid is not making enough hormone, it's failing 07:52 the pituitary calls out to the thyroid to work harder. 07:56 Have you ever heard your pituitary talking 07:58 to your thyroid? 07:59 If I did we'd have to do another program! 08:02 That's right! - laughter - 08:04 You're right it does not speak audibly. 08:08 The Lord has the pituitary send a chemical message. 08:11 That chemical message is called TSH. 08:14 If the TSH level is normal that means the pituitary is telling 08:19 the thyroid you're doing a good job, keep going, 08:21 keep up the good work. 08:22 But if it's not listening, not obeying, it's not producing the 08:25 thyroid it needs to, the pituitary starts speaking louder 08:29 THYROID WORK HARDER! 08:31 and the TSH level keeps going up. 08:35 Thyroid Stimulating Hormones - TSH 08:39 So what we want to do if we want to see if the thyroid is failing 08:43 we do a blood test. 08:44 We see what the body says is going on with itself. 08:48 If that TSH level is elevated that's going to indicate 08:52 thyroid failure or thyroid sluggishness. 08:55 So if you have any question or any of these signs or symptoms 08:58 that you talked about just a simple blood test can 09:01 tell you where you are? 09:02 It can make a huge difference. 09:03 I got to tell you though, Don, because of this very 09:07 exquisite control, if your pituitary is failing 09:11 and isn't making TSH, that will also cause your thyroid 09:15 to be sluggish. 09:16 The problem is not with the thyroid now, the problem is 09:19 with the pituitary. 09:20 So you can't just draw TSH level necessarily and assume 09:24 everything but that's the best indicator. 09:27 You got to have a doctor to order the test anyway. 09:30 So work with your doctor if you've got a question. 09:33 Get the TSH test and then they can work with you 09:36 on interpreting. 09:37 You have a list probably on your website compasshealth. net 09:40 that goes through all the causes: Hoshimoto's, painful 09:44 sub acute Thyroiditis, painless sporadic Thyroiditis, 09:47 all of these different things where you can look into. 09:50 That's right. 09:51 There's a variety of different causes of hypothyroidism 09:53 and we point out there on the website how reversible they are 09:57 by nature of the cause. 10:01 So you've talked about how we can diagnose TSH and talked 10:05 about how that can also be indicative a problem 10:10 with the pituitary. 10:11 But how high does this TSH need to be before someone gets 10:17 concerned? 10:18 What are the normal's? 10:19 Well, you know that is one of the challenges that we have. 10:22 I could show you study after study, I have some of the 10:25 references on the website, but different people are actually 10:29 looking at different cut offs. 10:31 But let me tell you what works for me. 10:35 The standard units that are reported are what we call 10:38 micro units per liter - MU/L. 10:42 Those are the units that we use here in our country. 10:45 Don, here's what the challenge is. 10:48 If you look at the laboratory normal range it's going to 10:52 usually be up to about 5, maybe 4.5, maybe 5.0, 10:56 maybe 5.5. 10:57 But a lot of thyroid specialists are starting to say, 11:01 "Well, you know what, a lot of people are hypothyroid 11:05 and by just looking at what the average is may be misleading us. 11:10 An optimal TSH level may be more like 2 or below. 11:15 Now you don't want to get too low because then that would 11:17 indicate you are hyperthyroid. 11:20 Your TSH levels get very low because your body - 11:22 your pituitary is afraid to say anything - 11:24 any little word it gives to the thyroid it starts producing 11:27 more hormones. 11:28 Just kind of dramatizing it a little bit there. 11:32 But what the point is lower TSH levels actually maybe 11:38 somewhat better. 11:39 When you get too high a level then you start getting into 11:42 risk of osteoporosis and heart rhythm problems. 11:44 So people shouldn't just willy-nilly be taking thyroid 11:48 hormone just because their wife has it the husband 11:52 shouldn't take some to help him loose weight. 11:53 Ok. 11:55 We're talking about Hypothyroidism. 11:58 But some people can have too high a thyroid as well, 12:02 isn't that true? 12:03 That's right, that's Hyperthyroidism. 12:06 Hyper and Hypo - you're exactly right. 12:09 It's not as big a problem in our country as far as the numbers 12:13 effected but it's still a significant problem 12:15 and it is something to be kept in mind. 12:17 If it's true that the thyroid can be knocked out 12:22 a lot of people take like Synthroid and or these 12:25 different things you're not advocating in this program 12:29 that they go off that. 12:30 There's no way really to go off it once that happens, 12:32 is that right or wrong? 12:33 Is it reversible in other words? 12:35 Many of the causes are. 12:37 Hoshimoto's is the most common cause, is not reversible. 12:41 Those people will need to be on thyroid replacement. 12:46 Are there some exceptions? 12:48 Perhaps early in the course of the condition - yes, but I'll 12:51 tell you in my experience if you have an autoimmune type of 12:55 thyroid problem you're going to need the thyroid hormone 12:59 replacement. 13:00 To me that is not a drug, it's replacing a natural body hormone 13:03 that the Lord designed for you to have but you're not making. 13:07 But, come back to the train of thought we had a moment ago, 13:12 as far as what's the normal range? 13:13 Any doctor, if you get above 10 micro units per liter, they're 13:20 going to tell you that you're hypothyroid. 13:22 5 to 10 range they might say it's a little gray but most 13:26 doctors it seems are leaning if it's above 5 to 10 range 13:29 even if other indicators of thyroid in the blood, if they 13:33 measure the free thyroid in your blood - we can do 13:36 that now - if that's normal they're going to say 13:38 you have subclinical hypothyroidism. 13:41 Maybe you don't have a full-blown disease, maybe the 13:44 blood levels are ok of the thyroid hormone but the brain 13:47 and the pituitary are saying the thyroid is not working right. 13:50 Many of these people, the evidence is suggesting, they're 13:53 benefited by treatment as far as energy level, cholesterol 13:55 level tends to come down because when you're hypothyroid 13:58 cholesterol can rise and help the blood pressure, a number 14:01 of things can be related to hypothyroidism. 14:03 So if it's equal or above 10 your doctor is going to say...? 14:07 Yes, that's very clear cut. 14:10 Above 5 many doctors will treat and the evidence suggests that 14:14 that is probably prudent. 14:16 That's the way things seem to be moving at least from 14:18 my reading of the literature. 14:19 So if it's on the high side of normal and you're gaining 14:22 weight and fatigued you're going to benefit? 14:25 Usually we'll find that people TSH levels 6, 7, they benefit 14:30 by getting their TSH levels down 4, 3, 2, by taking some 14:35 T4 replacement whether it's the Synthroid or Levoxyl 14:40 or some other form of what we call L-thyroxine. 14:43 My wife is expecting our third child right now and you've been 14:47 through a number yourself. 14:49 Let's say someone has just had a baby and they got the 14:53 thyroid problems that come after having a baby. 14:55 What should they do? 14:56 Definitely they want to have it diagnosed first. 14:59 Don't just jump to a conclusion if you're feeling fatigued 15:02 that it's from the thyroid because there's also that 15:04 condition postpartum depression. 15:06 It's very important that if a woman after pregnancy is 15:11 feeling very low energy level that she has things evaluated. 15:14 If she is hypothyroid many times what happens, 15:17 I've seen this before. 15:19 I remember one woman very vividly some years ago 15:22 came into my office. 15:23 She had postpartum hypothyroidism. 15:25 She was started on thyroid and she was never taken off it. 15:29 She saw me probably 20-25 years later. 15:31 We were able to gradually taper her off the thyroid. 15:34 And her thyroid was fine then. 15:36 She didn't need to stay on the thyroid replacement. 15:38 It was a momentary thing. 15:41 It was short-term needing help. 15:43 Now some people with postpartum Thyroiditis they will have 15:46 irreversible, long-term thyroid problems. 15:48 We're talking with Dr. David DeRose. 15:51 He's a physician from southern Oklahoma. 15:53 He has a ministry called compasshealth. net 15:58 We hope that it's given you some direction so far 16:02 with hypothyroidism. 16:03 We hope that you join us when we come back 16:05 to talk a little bit more about this important subject. 16:09 Have you found yourself wishing that you could 16:11 shed a few pounds? 16:12 Have you been on a diet for most of your life? 16:15 But not found anything that will really keep the weight off? 16:17 If you've answered yes to any of these questions, then we 16:21 have a solution for you that works. 16:23 Dr. Hans Diehl and Dr. Aileen Ludington 16:26 have written a marvelous booklet called, 16:28 Reversing Obesity Naturally, and we'd like to send it to you 16:32 free of charge. 16:33 Here's a medically sound approach successfully used 16:36 by thousands who are able to eat more 16:38 and loose weight permanently 16:40 without feeling guilty or hungry through lifestyle medicine. 16:43 Dr. Diehl and Dr. Ludington have been featured on 3ABN 16:47 and in this booklet they present a sensible approach to eating, 16:51 nutrition, and lifestyle changes that can help you prevent 16:54 heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer. 16:57 Call or write today for your free copy: 17:10 Welcome back. 17:11 We've been talking with Dr. David DeRose. 17:12 We've been talking about your thyroid 17:14 That little gland right underneath your Adam's apple. 17:18 Of course, Dr. DeRose, my name is Mackintosh so maybe we can 17:22 say, "It's right underneath your Mackintosh!" 17:24 Ok, well, however you want to remember it, that's where it is. 17:27 You have a ministry called CompassHealth. 17:29 Many things we're talking about are on that website 17:32 compasshealth. net. 17:34 This is very useful to us because as we've said thyroid 17:39 problems afflict a large amount of women and to a lesser extent 17:44 men but more after they get over the age of 60. 17:46 We've talked about how it can crop up after a pregnancy 17:50 but what about the patient that has cancer and develops 17:54 thyroid problems? 17:55 The most classic form of cancer that causes thyroid problems is 18:00 thyroid cancer. 18:01 Typically the treatment for thyroid cancer involves 18:06 total destruction of all thyroid tissue - 18:10 first with surgery. 18:13 If surgery cannot remove all the thyroid tissue they'll give 18:18 a radio active iodine following the surgery that will destroy 18:22 any remaining thyroid tissue. 18:24 Thyroid cancer, by the way, is one of the very 18:27 treatable cancers. 18:28 Most types of thyroid cancers are very treatable and do not 18:31 kill many times. 18:33 If you had to choose a cancer thyroid cancer is one 18:37 of the better ones to choose. 18:38 But what I think you're getting at in the question is what 18:42 happens after you've had that thyroid wiped out. 18:45 Is that correct? 18:46 Right. 18:47 Just one thing before, and I know this is maybe not your 18:49 area of specialty, when should you be concerned and how 18:52 could someone know they have thyroid cancer? 18:53 All those same signs and symptoms are kind of going 18:56 haywire or what? 18:57 No, usually the first sign of thyroid cancer is a 19:01 growth in the neck. 19:02 Ok, so it's an enlarging of that gland. 19:05 Yes, it typically starts with just a nodule, or a lump, 19:09 or a bump in the gland. 19:10 Sometimes people will notice it on their own, other times 19:14 they won't. 19:15 I had a woman call me just a few weeks ago. 19:21 She went to one of these free ultrasound screenings. 19:26 As they were screening her carotid arteries, and the 19:29 ultrasound tech who was doing it actually looked at her thyroid 19:33 and saw some nodules there. 19:35 That was fortunate. 19:37 It is fortunate but the unfortunate thing is if you 19:40 screen enough people that way probably 30-50% us have nodules. 19:45 But she had some big nodules that were palpable. 19:47 They could be felt. 19:49 She just hadn't noticed them. 19:50 She ended up apparently having cancer. 19:52 So, yes, a lump in the neck, swollen lymph glands, if the 19:57 cancer is more advanced it's become infiltrated or spread 20:02 you may have changes in your voice, 20:04 and other things like that. 20:06 So all those can be indicators. 20:07 Let's say they've been diagnosed and then the thyroid has been 20:09 radiated or eradicated through surgery or radio active iodine 20:16 what do you want to say about their levels? 20:19 Well basically they're going to have zero 20:20 thyroid production capacity. 20:24 So they're going to have a life or death need to take 20:25 thyroid replacement. 20:26 It's a good question because it's a way of saying what is 20:30 the total thyroid need for anybody? 20:32 No thyroid function, someone with cancer, all their thyroid 20:36 tissue is gone. 20:37 The average adult, middle aged 100-150 micro grams per day. 20:46 That's going to be the replacement range. 20:49 As we get older, up in years, that drops to about half. 20:54 So 50-75 micro grams a day. 20:58 Then in young children and pregnant women the needs 21:03 are often higher, maybe 175-200 micro grams. 21:08 That's something to work with your doctor on. 21:10 Definitely! 21:11 They'll be monitoring the TSH to see what the pituitary is 21:14 saying about the amount of thyroid your taking. 21:16 Let's say I'm taking this thyroid replacement therapy, 21:21 some people say I should avoid certain foods 21:24 like soy or these other things. 21:25 Is there anything to that? 21:26 Well, there's no question that in soy products and in other 21:30 plant products there's some naturally occurring goitrogens. 21:34 Goitrogens - the same thing we call a goiter? 21:38 Yes it comes from the same term. 21:40 These compounds actually do have a mild adverse effect 21:47 on the thyroid. 21:49 But we've got to put that in perspective. 21:51 If you look at the foods that has some of these goitrogens 21:53 these are nutritional powerhouses - the soy foods, 21:56 cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower. 21:59 I can imagine there are some of our viewers saying, "Hey, great 22:03 I've been waiting for my excuse to not eat broccoli, soybeans, 22:08 or tofu. 22:09 But actually, here's the issue. 22:12 If you're on thyroid replacement that is not going to make a 22:18 whit of difference. 22:19 You're still going to have to take a pill. 22:22 The bigger concern when it comes to dietary things are some very 22:25 potent things that can be blocking thyroid function 22:28 and these are man made compounds. 22:30 Such as what? 22:32 Things that you'll find in herbicides and other toxins 22:37 that are in the environment. 22:38 And of course no one goes out and says, "I'm going to get 22:40 myself herbicide and toxins!" 22:41 Those are like occurring in fish. 22:45 The higher you go up in the food chain, and what we mean by that, 22:50 I know you know what we mean by it, but for those who are not 22:53 familiar with our description of this. 22:55 Basically low on the food chain is the sources... 23:00 plants 23:01 yes, the plant. 23:03 But I was going to make it a little more dramatic, 23:05 more colorful, but since you cut right to the chase 23:08 we'll just say the plants - the very simple things 23:11 the Lord created. 23:12 Then what eats those? 23:14 As you go up higher in the food chain you've got 23:15 the vegetarian animals and then higher up on the food chain 23:20 are the carnivorous animals, etcetera. 23:22 The higher you go up on the food chain the more 23:24 toxic and concentrated. 23:26 So the big fish, long living fish, these scavengers, 23:30 these kind of things can have higher toxin levels 23:32 they'll concentrate many of these compounds. 23:34 The one strategy is try to avoid animal products. 23:38 This is a much more important issue from my looking at the 23:41 data then trying to avoid soy or broccoli. 23:43 You're better off eating more soy and broccoli and less 23:46 milk, meat, eggs, and cheese. 23:48 So check where you are on the food chain is the big thing. 23:50 If you have any questions go to compasshealth. net and they have 23:54 a food chain there probably and you can see what's 23:56 important for you. 23:57 Let's say I'm already a vegetarian. 24:00 Is there anything else that I should do or not do? 24:05 Well, one of the things we're very concerned about are the 24:07 things that are finding their way into our water supply. 24:09 And the things that are put into plastics. 24:16 One of the classic cases - plastic is kept flexible even 24:21 if it's somewhat rigid by plasticizers. 24:23 These are compounds that are not part of the plastic itself. 24:27 In a sense they can leach into the food easily. 24:30 So if you are putting plastic material into your microwave 24:35 for example and microwaving plastic is not a good idea 24:39 because you're increasing the amount of these chemicals 24:42 that are getting into the food. 24:43 Styrofoam? 24:45 Styrofoam, I don't know. 24:47 That's a good question. 24:48 It's a plastic so don't put it on your plastic plate 24:51 and heat it up. 24:52 Or your plastic container. 24:55 I don't want to mention any brands. 25:00 I was avoiding trying to do that. 25:02 It's better to just put it on a glass plate. 25:07 Glass is the best - glass or other inert materials 25:10 for storing and for microwaving. 25:13 The other place where we find these toxins 25:15 is in our water supply. 25:17 I encourage people to do something with their water 25:20 whether it's reverse osmosis or distillation plus 25:25 charcoal filtration - don't forget that. 25:27 In other words water supply can have a lot of these chemicals 25:34 which can cause problems with the thyroid. 25:37 The reason I make the point with distillation is because 25:42 many of these compounds are volatile. 25:46 That means if you boil the water, that's what's being done 25:48 in distillation, along with the water vapor is going to come 25:51 some of these toxins. 25:52 So when you pass this water first through a charcoal filter 25:57 that gets out those toxins so then the distillation 26:00 is a more purer product. 26:03 Two things - can exercise help this and what would you say 26:08 as a Christian clinician would be a spiritual approach? 26:11 There are some very interesting things that we've got to keep 26:13 in mind about this. 26:14 When it comes to exercise one of the most interesting 26:18 things in the athletic literature is that over exercise 26:22 suppresses thyroid function. 26:24 I don't think most of our viewers have a problem 26:26 with that. 26:27 Yes, that's why I'm smiling. - laughter - 26:28 But you know what, Don, in some of the research we've done 26:31 even people who are sedentary starting on an exercise program 26:35 we've found some evidence that they may be doing too much 26:39 exercise. 26:40 The bottom line if someone's not active, they want to 26:42 exercise, listen to their body. 26:45 We're not saying if you've been exercising 20 minutes a day 26:47 cut it down to five. 26:48 Still do the 20 minutes but don't... 26:51 Look if you're 60 years old guy and you haven't been exercising 26:55 for years don't go out to the track and see if you can beat 26:58 some 30 year old woman around the track whose out there 27:00 running it's just unwise not only for your heart 27:03 but also for your thyroid. 27:05 Ok, so that's an interesting connection. 27:07 What would you say spiritually as a thought 27:10 as we close the program? 27:11 One of the precious promises in the Bible that I think speaks 27:16 to this is in Psalm 103. 27:18 David there is praising the Lord. 27:20 "Bless the Lord oh my soul, and all that is within me, 27:23 bless His holy name. 27:24 Bless the Lord oh my soul, and forget not all His benefits. " 27:27 He speaks of some of the great things that the Lord does 27:30 and one of them is healing disease. 27:33 The Lord may not always heal disease in this life but we can 27:36 trust Him to help us to get on a program of health and 27:39 ultimately have true healing in eternity. 27:42 Thanks so much for joining us and helping us with a rather 27:45 complicated subject today, Doctor. 27:48 Thank you for joining us. 27:49 You can get some of this information on 27:50 campasshealth. net. 27:52 We're glad you joined us for Health for a Lifetime 27:54 and we hope your thyroid is healthy as a result. |
