Re: Undiagnosed Thyroid Deficiency-Home testing

[Guest guest]

Also, part of the reason TSH is a problem test is not as much due to the

inaccuracy as the ridiculous reference ranges. They usually run about .5 to

6.0 and any endocrinologist worth his weight would tell you it should be

1.1-2.5. The recommendations on testing temperature by Arnold are spot on.

Cheaper too.

Hi ,

Thyroid blood tests-TSH are notoriously inaccurate. Dr.Alan Gaby,MD suggests

if you suspect low thyroid function despite normal blood levels you can

perform a home test by taking your underarm resting temperature, taken

BEFORE you

get up in the morning. Place a thermometer by the side of the bed and make

sure to shake it down the night before. First thing in the morning, before

you

get up and move around, put it under your armpit for 10 minutes. record the

temperature and take the average of 4 days. Women still menstruating, should

take the temperature on the second through 4th day of the cycle. Dr.Broda

,MD who popularized this test believed a temperature below 97.8

suggested

inadequate thyroid production. Dr.Gaby uses a more conservative 97.4. He

observed that individuals with higher temperatures were less likely to

improve

and more likely to have side effects from thyroid hormone supplementation.

Hi Arnold:

I will try that tommorrow.

I did this test a long time ago and it came out low but when I added thyroid

to my daily routine I did not have an improvement hair loss. And when I stopped

taking it, I had a flew like symptom for a week and then lumps came out around

my neck. An acupuncturist told me that it was because of the thyroid I had been

taking or stopped abruptly. after 3 months of treatment the lumps disapeared. I

never knew exactly what happened. I don't remember now. It has been about 10

years.

I will check it out again. I am interested in the adrenal function. Any home

testing for that?

Any input is very much appreciated!

Hi ,

a natural and soft way to boost the thyroidal gland (after taking the

temperatur test and being positive) is the intake of VCO (virgin coconut oil).

VCO is

also a good natural antiviral. There is a group on this specific topic,

with lots of info and testimonies.

Best,

Katharina
