http://fatnews.com/ Hi, this is Larry Hobbs @ FatNews.com. This is an audio clip of Mark Starr, MD, author of "Hypothyroidism Type 2: The Epidemic", giving a speech at a 2007 Orthomolecular Conference. "I began to realize how pervasive this problem was in my pain patients. [People who have normal blood tests (TSH), but still have hypothyroidism." "After I realize that, in about 1998 I started doing Basal Metabolism (BMR) tests on my patients... "I warn people not to use some of the newer Basal Metabolism tests because... "I wasted some time and patient's money..." "You can run up some stairs and put one of these head pieces on and take a metabolism, but it won't be accurate because you have to get a good night's sleep and fasting and well-rested." "They used to make people stay overnight at the hospital." "So 50 patients with normal TSH levels [which we have falsely been led to believe means a patient's thyroid is fine] consecutive patients, pain patients underwent the traditional BMR testing (basal metabolism rate)..." "The average basal metabolism was at least 14% below normal." "Historically, more than 10% below normal was indicative [of low thyroid] when coupled with the symptoms [of low thyroid]." "This is 162 chart reviews." "I started at the beginning of the alphabet." "[Out of these 162 patients]..." "96% had pain..." "84% had dry skin..." "82% [had] fatigue, brittle nails... menstrual problems... depression was present in over half of my pain patients... moderate to marked myxedema [in] 54%... [puffiness of the skin]" Examples of marked myxedema can be seen here: www.type2hypothyroidism. com/Type1VsType2.html "... It is around 60%... patients who have overt myxedema." [In other words, myxedema is NOT necessary for low thyroid.] "There are a lot of slender patients, like I was, who have the problem [of low thyroid] as well." "Out of those 162 patients I yanked out the patients who were already taking Synthroid [synthetic T4] who had already been diagnosed with hypothyroidism..." "The average dose was 0.1 to 0.2 mg [100 to 200 mcg] of T4 [Synthroid]..." "The dry skin, fatigue, brittle nails, menstrual problems, cold intolerance this is exactly a mirror image... maybe slight higher [worse]... than patients who were not taking thyroid." "[In other words, Synthroid [T4] did NOT improve symptoms of low thyroid at all!]" ------ My research shows that many chronic illnesses including heart disease, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, mental illnesses, Alzheimer's disease, and the explosion of childhood illnesses are largely attributable to Type 2 hypothyroidism. Type 1 Hypothyroidism is defined as failure of the thyroid gland to produce sufficient amounts of necessary to maintain normal blood levels of those hormones and normal blood levels of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Type 2 Hypothyroidism is defined as [a] resistance to thyroid hormones at the cellular level. [In Type 2 hypothyroidism,] Normal amounts of thyroid hormones and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) are detected by the blood tests therefore, blood tests do not detect Type 2 hypothyroidism. Mark Starr, MD Quotes about Dr. Starrs book. I believe everyone needs to review Mark Starrs book. Dr. Garry Gordon Co-Founder of the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM) He has a vital message to share about the many people who do not realize they have low thyroid, because standard thyroid tests do not show it. Dr. Garry Gordon Mark Starrs dedication to research, and his devoted study with the old masters, have made him an international expert on thyroid and iodine. Dr. Garry Gordon This is an astonishing book... Robban Sica, MD ... revealing the cause and successful treatment for... obesity, heart attacks, depression, diabetes, strokes, headaches, chronic fatigue and many more.
