When pollution is caused by nutrients and fertilizers, this is called nutrient pollution, and it leads to an overproduction of algae and other aquatic plants. This overabundance of plants and algae causes problems, because they cover the water surface and prevent sunlight from reaching the plants underwater.
Reverse T3 is actually an antithyroid -- T3 is the active thyroid that goes to the cells and stimulates energy and metabolism. Reverse T3 is a mirror image -- it actually goes to the receptors, sticks there, and nothing happens. So it blocks the thyroid effect. Reverse T3 is kind of a hibernation hormone, in times of stress and chronic illness, it lowers your metabolism.
The Comprehensive Thyroid Assessment is a hormone test that provides a thorough analysis of thyroid hormone metabolism. It includes central thyroid gland regulation and activity, thyroid production and secretion, peripheral thyroid conversion, and thyroid autoimmunity.his hormone test allows the practitioner to pinpoint common imbalances that underlie a broad spectrum of chronic illness. This test analyzes serum levels of TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3, anti-TG antibodies, and anti-TPO antibodies to assess central and peripheral thyroid function, as well as thyroid auto-immunity.
