The reason for your search most probably is due to poor health, fatigue , depression, dry skin, insomnia, constipation, feeling cold when others are ok, brain fog, obesity in spite of your best efforts, vague and disturbing menstrual or libido problems and about 46 more.

Some of the lucky ones get diagnosed by the blood test for thyroid. Many wait years to finally turn the test positive. What a relief. Some of my patients have discovered a good book by Mark Starr MD. Hypothyroidism II. This is an easy and yet a complete read about what has been slipping up on you.

Home testing is easy for low thyroid levels. Remember your metabolic rate goes down. Well your morning temps will be low. So test them with a good thermometer (Geri-derm sold at most drug stores) Take an average number of temps, say 6 and get the general average of them. If they are below 97 degrees and you are loaded with symptoms listed above, you most likely have low thyroid. In women, the temps should start on day 3 of flow. All the rest is the same.

This gave me a pause. I have repeated it many times. Give it a read and see what it imparts.

Scholars are aware of the torch of knowledge. I thought I understood it well. Knowledge is bright and can be seen and admired for miles around. It will light your way. But a wise teacher told me “remember that the torch casts a shadow on the person who carries it”. More like all that knowledge can obstruct a new truth or new facts.

Why the story? Well I feel many Doctors are blinded by the knowledge they have about the value of the lab test for Thyroid. If you read Dr Starr’s book you will see that much work testing the body temperature test has been done.

How could a very technical lab test costing in the neighborhood of $200 USD be less useful than a home temp test? Well it is evaluating on a small part of the picture. The temp test evaluates a much larger portion of the problem.

From my previous blogs, and videos you can learn of many blocks and toxic products that obstruct adequate thyroid function. Get a normal TSH and have a toxic and compromised system you still suffer net hypothyroidism. Same goes for the evaluation of the thyroid medicine levels once you start. Give the medications all you want and it is still no go in the toxic and damaged thyroid pathways.
