Re: I don't know how to ask this question/ temperatures

[Guest guest]

Regarding temperatures: Basal is different than graphing. Both are useful.

Basal is used more often for info on thyroid function; graphing is used more

often for info on adrenal function.

Basals: " Basal temp is one you take first thing in the AM before moving, when

you first wake. It SHOULD be lower than your daytime temps. "

from Nick's web page on temperatures (there is lots of good temp info here)

http://thyroid-rt3.com/temperat.htm

Graphing: This is where stability (or lack of stability) shows up. " Take three

temperatures approximately three hours apart, starting approximately three hours

after waking up. "

from Dr. Rind's website:

http://www.drrind.com/therapies/metabolic-temperature-graph#directions

(This group does not agree with everything Dr. Rind says, but his temperature

graphs are very useful).

You then average the three temps to get a daily average temp. Repeat for five

days, giving you five daily average temps. If they are unstable, (varying more

than .02 from day to day) this may indicate an adrenal problem.

Hope this helps.
