Thyroid problems are one of the common problems in the world today. Millions suffer from the effects of underactive thyroids, and simple all natural supplements taken responsibly can mitigate the effects cheaply and inexpensively without the need for costly medical care.

But consumers today are presented with a challenge in knowing who to trust. Unscrupulous vendors can spike their supplements with dangerous levels of hormones, or sell products with substandard and uncontrolled additives. Additionally, these products, driven by manufacturers concerned solely about profit, generally use desiccated glands from factory farms, where the animals are treated cruelly, and fed with high levels of antibiotics, which can damage the thyroid and lead to suboptimal glands. The chemicals, additives, and ingredients in their products are hidden behind cries of proprietary technology, and consumers are left with nobody to trust other than anonymous reviews on internet forums.

Our project aims to change all of that. With your help, we are going to start a product of which everyone can be confident and proud. We are going to manage the complete life cycle of our animals, from the farm to the final production of the desiccated extract. The animals will be treated humanely and allowed to run in the fields and build up a natural resistance to infection to ensure an optimal thyroid. The workers will be paid a fair wage, in line with Fair Trade practices.

And most importantly, our entire production will be open for inspection. We will publish every single ingredient going into our product, and give you, our sponsors, guided tours of our facilities so you can verify that what you are getting is all natural and free of dangerous additives.

Does this mean someone could copy us and make a competing product? It probably does, and if they do, we would consider this project a success. Our idea is for a movement towards openness in health and trust with our customers. Drug companies would have you believe that more regulation is the only way to safe health. In reality, trust of federal regulatory agencies responsible for managing these companies is at a historic low.

People around the world are realizing that naturopathy and prevention through the use of natural remedies has a place in their life, just as traditional allopathic medicines do. It is time to show that a new model has genuine benefits to global health.
