"Congested bile is linked to a whole host of seemingly unrelated symptoms
including hormone dysfunction, hypothyroidism
<http://www.greenmedinfo.com/disease/hypothyroidism>, hot flashes,
constipation, depression, migraines, insomnia, dry skin, chronic fatigue,
yeast overgrowth, parasites—and the list goes on.

Finnish researchers found hypothyroidism is seven times more likely in
individuals with reduced bile flow. Release of bile triggers the release of
an enzyme that converts T4 into T3, the usable form of thyroid hormone.

Those who improve their bile enjoy a whopping 53 percent bump in
metabolism."
