Mitochondria, BASAL TEMPS & Metabolism...

[Guest guest]

In Mark Starr's book: Hypothyroidism Type 2:

In chapter 6, he talks about the relationship between thyroid hormones and

mitochondria....

I've been past my adrenal fatigue for a year now, but my basal temps remain very

low. 97.1, 97.3 every morning. They do not go up. I have worried about this a

bit but finally got an answer yesterday. I don't have any more adrenal symptoms,

I have my full energy back, but still my basal temps remain low. Unfortunately,

before I had AF, I never took my basal temps, like most people, I never had the

need. So I don't know whether they were low at that time or not. I only know

that they are consistently low now.

On page 181 he writes:

" Many adults' basal temperatures remain below normal despite proper treatment.

This is probably due to their increased burden of environmental toxins and

mitochondrial defects. "

Now, this makes perfect sense to me and I will know longer worry about my basals

from now on.
