Dear Thyroid Sufferer
Some 20 million Americans are affected by thyroid disorders….that’s 1 in 13 people! And more than half of those people are unaware that they have a thyroid problem because it frequently goes undiagnosed….until it gets severe.
According to the National Women’s Health Information Center, one in eight women will experience a thyroid disorder during their lifetime. This fact may surprise you because you’ve probably never heard it explained to you fully. This is because most doctors are only vaguely familiar with thyroid disorders.

Find out why you may still have a Thyroid disorder even though your doctor said "Your blood test was normal."
Find out what the six main causes of Thyroid disorders are and how to finally treat them successfully!
Find out why the two most important blood test are almost never included in your blood test.
If you are on thyroid hormone replacement medications and are still having thyroid symptoms, then the underlying root cause has NOT been found!
Thyroid diagnosis, blood test, and other special lab testing and thyroid treatment has changed dramatically over the last 5 years. Most doctors still practice the old way and that's why 30 million people continue to suffer with thyroid symptoms unnecessarily.
A lot more can be done for YOU than just giving YOU a Thyroid pill hoping that will get rid of all your symptoms!
I am here to tell you that there is NEW HOPE, thanks to OUR DRUG-FREE and NATURAL Protocols!
Our approach is revolutionary in that it addresses the SOURCE of Thyroid Disorders by using advanced lab measurements and a comprehensive functional brain-based protocol!
We are one of the only clinics in Cocoa Beach, FL to use a combined functional metabolic and neurological protocol that deals with the TRUE causes of Thyroid Disorders.
-
Are you tired of running from doctor to doctor only to play "Russian Roulette" with different medications? "Here try this drug, that didn't work? Try this one!"
-
Are you tired of taking drugs that don't fix the problem?
-
Do you continue to struggle with chronic pain and fatigue day in and day out?
If you're tired of running from doctor to doctor without results and you want someone that is going to get to the TRUE CAUSE of your problem, then it is important that you get a free copy of Dr. Alukonis, D.C.'s Thyroid Secrets. He shows in detail how his proprietary functional metabolic and neurologic approach can create long lasting relief from the everyday pain and fatigue caused by Thyroid Disorders.
HOW DO I SUCCESSFULLY TREAT THYROID DISORDERS?
By using specific metabolic and neurological protocols!
#1: SPECIFIC METABOLIC TESTING AND TREATMENTS
Sensitivity Testing: to determine if you have a sensitivity to gluten (wheat, rye, oats, and barley), milk, eggs, yeast, and soy. If you are sensitive to ANY of these food groups, it could be making your symptoms worse as it will increase inflammation in your brain and throughout your body!
Here are some of the symptoms of these sensitivities:
-
Chronic pain or fatigue
-
Frequent indigestion
-
Bloated after eating
-
Frequent loose bowel movements
-
Constipation
-
Mouth ulcers or sores
-
Frequent vomiting
The only way to find out if you are suffering from any of these sensitivities is to run these tests.
We also run Complete Blood Panels by using specific blood tests such as:
-
A thyroid panel
-
A complete metabolic panel (CMP)
-
A lipid panel
-
A CBC (complete blood chemistry with auto differential)
Autoimmunity is spiraling out of control. It has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. The American Autoimmune Related Diseases Associtation (AARDA) estimates that over 50 million people suffer with an autoimmune condition in the U.S. alone. Experts in the field suggest the actual numbers of people suffering are much higher.
Untill now, modern medicine has had few answers for people who suffer with autoimmunity. Conventional Medicine treats these complex disorders as incurable genetic diseases requiring a lifetime of hormones, ani-inflammitory and immuno suppressive medications.
Fortunately a new paradigm is emerging. An increasing number of functional medicine practictioners are successfully helping patients reverse the autoimmune process.
All auto Immune conditions are essentially the same process occurring in the body: the inflamed immune system, under the strain of continual triggers mistakes healthy tissue as foreign and begins to destroy it. The only difference between the various autoimmune conditions is which organ is being attacked; with lupus it can be the skin, the liver, the joints, etc.; with type 1 diabtes, it's the pancreas; with multiple sclerosis it is the brain and spinal cord; and with ulcerative colitis it is the large intestine and rectum.In the case of Hashimoto's and Graves', the thyroid is the obvious target.
While each of us is unique, I have found that many of the same underlying triggers, which I call " splinters" set the stage for immune system disfunction. The goal will be to review splinters such as chronic emotional stress, poor coping mechanisms, poor nutrition, food allergies and sensitivities, GI imbalances/leaky gut, inflammation, adrenal fatigue, hormonal, infectious, and toxic stress, and discuss predictable intervention thearapies and lifestyle stratigies that you can start using today.
Autoimmunity can be successfully quantifiably reversed when the underlying splinters are uncovered and removed, and the core systems of the body are restored to balance.
