CHIROPRACTIC FOR
GOITRE

UOl1NE
A goitre is known to the Chi
ropract0r as an inco-ordination
in which there is an excessive
increase in the size of the thy
roid gland which is a bi-lobed
organ about three inches in
length, situated on the sides Of
the upper rings of the trachea
and consists of small closed yes
icles containing a yellow glairy
fluid surrounded by a dense plex-
US of capillaries and held togeth-
er by connective areolar tissue.
This excessive increase in the
thyroid gland is simply an over
growth of the tissue of the gland
consisting of an increase in the
cells of it's structure.
There are various forms Of
goitre such as cystic goitre,
which is an accumulation of fluid
in a space in the gland.
Vascular goitre is an enlarge
ment of the vessels Of the thy
roid gland due to a relaxation or
a loss of tonicity Of the muscle
fibers forming the vessel walls.
Goitre may appear on one or
both sides and be evenly or UNI
evenly distributed over the
gland, the first noticeable synp-
tom is the enlargement which
may not be sufficient to produce
pressure symptoms. Goitres
vary in size greatly according to
their form and duration, fibroid
goitres usually are the largest.
Exophthalmic goitre is an In
coordination characterized by
enlargement of the gland and
protrusion Of the eyepaiis, symp-
toms usually appear gradually
and the circulatory symptoms
are the first noticeable, with pal
pitation and Ntachycardia, the
pulse rate sometimes varies
from 100 to nearly zoo and there
may be visible pulsation of the
vessels of the neck and ringing
in the ears from the abnormal
heart action, the enlargement in
this form Of goitre nearly al
ways is smaller and confined to
the inner surface Of the gland
and is known as inward goitre.
In exophthalmic goitre the
eyes are involved, the patient
sometimes being unable TO ro-
tate the eyeballs in following
moving object, and in some cases
the eyelids do not cover the
eyeball due to the eyeball bulg-
ing forward, other symptoms
are nervousness, irritability,
headache and pressure symp
toms.
Protrusion or bullying Of the
eyeball is caused by pressure
from behind the eyeball by en-
larged blood vessels and a n.y.
perplasia of the adipose tissue
in the socket and this is caused
bv a subluxation in the spine.
r. makes no difference to a
Chiropractor whether it is sim
ple goitre or any other OF the
various forms, the fact remains
that the mechanical interference
(subluxation) is in the spine,
which produces pressure on Ger
tain nerves, shutting off the lie
force or mental impulse, thereby
preventing nature from perform,
ing its function in the thyroid
gland. : ,,,.
when a segment of the spine Is mis-,
a,irnad and remains in Its aphoriiial
position. sooner or later due 70 .n0
rarve nres,ure, there is bound 70 Dc an
ahnormal expression of function tnae
nature intended to be normal.
chiropractors believe that 70 eiiml-
nate an effect the cause must De
moved, and they have demonstrates
many times that the cause OF sol.re -
. misaligned vertebra in the spinal cor
,,mn interfering with the nerve supply
and thereby releasing the nerve pres
sure nature will dispose OF the goi're.
II YOU are afflicted with soitre N any
form. will you investigate the scienee
hat is as accurate as mathematics, re-
membering that for every effect there
Is an underlying cause?
Consult your Chiropractor ana ask
him for literature dealing with uls
subject and it will be gladly given wen
will cost you nothing.
II chiropvactic had no merit II coula
not survive. 1t has stood the test ior
twenty two years and during that .ime
has made wonderful progress ~
ycordance with the laws OF nature'
tus its SUCCESS. -.
