Thyroid hormone runs the metabolism rate by setting the speed that a cell will function. This is absolutely major to understand for Low Thyroid Levels.
Lets look at the other parts of this in addition to how lousy you feel when you are slowed down to thick ooze rather than a slick thin oil. Besides being slow to burn food (makes you cold, fat and slow) your functions slow or stop. Take the normal 28 day period with 5 days of flow. That is messed up to 40 or 50 days and excessive painful flow or PMS. Take constipation and the generous lubrication of your joints and tendons. (Many low thyroid level patients hurt) Then understand that your blood cholesterol will rise because it is not burned up by the liver. (Anyone for the fatigue muscle busting cholesterol medicines now? Especially because you may not need them) from what you have read, and can search online for you will find that the test for adequate functioning thyroid are pretty poor. And now because of this travesty you are on the cholesterol fighting drugs and caused to needlessly worry about your heart and a sudden death that is a real burden. Are you taking this lightly now? Especially my critics who dogmatically believe in the THS test. Your patient has a high cholesterol and a normal TSH, does it prove that the thyroid is not the cause of the poorly justified use of Cholesterol drugs. It is not too hard to find me, why don’t you call me and enlighten me? Then consider this: If blood levels of cholesterol are related to the coating of the arteries and thus a “need for the drug”, why have they never found a speck of cholesterol in a vein. The cholesterol laden blood travels in the veins too. Come now let’s hear from some one. I will publish the first doctor on this blog site that can answer this question. It must be answered if the cholesterol drugs are of any more value than crippling the liver so it can’t be made.
How about it?
Now that we are on the subject of metabolic rates, let’s say you have a low thyroid level patient and your tests are normal. And previous blogs have dealt with this as well as Mark Starr MD in his excellent book Hypothyroidism type II. So you don’t know if the metabolic rates are slow or normal. Now give a medicine. The medicine depends on adequate metabolic rates to run its medicinal activity. Let’s say something like a heart drug after a major heart attack. Now you have a drug that is slowed in its action due to the low thyroid levels. Now you give more to get the effect. Well? What happens when the overdose catches up due to the slowed metabolic handling? Does death sound possible? I think so. Ok now you have that overdose on board and the patient makes it. How are they going to get rid of it metabolically? In my book you have an overdosed patient and a slowed clearing of the medicine all the time you continue the dose as is dictated by the protocol. Do we have a problem Houston? I think so.
Now lets look back in time and the medical literature. There is convincing evidence that medication reactions are the third leading cause of death. You form your own conclusion. They are a major cause of morbidity in this country. Is all of it Thyroid levels? It is not all that hard to say a great part of it might be because of the slow killing of everyone’s thyroid by the Fluoride, Chlorine, Bromine, Pesticides and heavy metal poisonings everywhere. I say we have a major problem. It must not be dismissed by the anemic TSH test and the lack of careful evaluation of thyroid function.
