“In the 1940s, Dr. Barnes realized that the blood tests were usually inaccurate. Consequently, he developed a simple test to confirm suspected low thyroid function using an ordinary thermometer. He found that normal underarm or oral temperatures immediately upon awakening in the morning (while still in bed) are in the range of 97.8 to 98.2 [...]

“The picture that I think explains many of the features of diabetes is that an energy deficit produces an alarm state, causing increased production of adrenalin and cortisol.” -Ray Peat, PhD Diabetes mellitus results in excessive urination and sugar spilling into the urine. Some individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are diagnosed not based on [...]
Contrary to what is popularly believed, sugar (sucrose) doesn’t cause type II diabetes/insulin resistance. Bernardo Houssay’s work in 1947 (which won him the Nobel Prize in Medicine) on diabetes showed polyunsaturated fats’ causative role in diabetic conditions. In his experiment, saturated fat in the form of coconut oil was very protective as it is in [...]
The number of cases of mild and severe menstrual abnormalities among young girls and older women appear to be on the rise. Young women are often experiencing delayed or premature menses. Women suffering from infertility and repeated miscarriage also appear elevated. There is much to be said about how dessicated thyroid treatment has played a [...]
“Not only is the mitochondria DNA inherited solely from the mother, but this DNA suffers progressive damage throughout women’s lives. The damage results in further mutations in the mitchondrial DNA. These mutations are cumulative and therefore, increase in number with each successive generation. In other work, each new generation escaping the rigors of the survival [...]
Source – http://www.jcrows.com/hypothyroidism.html Type 1 Hypothyroidism is defined as failure of the thyroid gland to produce sufficient amounts of thyroid hormones necessary to maintain “normal” blood levels of those hormones and “normal” blood levels of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) produced by the pituitary gland. The TSH test is the standard blood test your doctor [...]
Weight gain is a metabolic deficiency not a movement deficiency. Exercise will increase the use of stored fats at rest if it’s increasing the metabolic rate. For most, that process isn’t happening because adding another stressor to the mix suppresses the metabolic rate further and the trainee treads water in his/her weight management efforts. A [...]
