Thyroid Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism

by | Diseases, Specific

Thyroid hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are serious diseases affecting much of the population. Iodine deficiency is the second major cause of hypothyroidism. The first cause of iodine deficiency is diet. So why not eat fortified table salt? Well, these kinds of salts are highly processed. All the natural minerals are extracted leaving only Sodium, Chloride and Iodine in inorganic form, which is not bioavailable. The body will use it if there is nothing else. The thyroid gland will store this iodine until it needs it, but it doesn’t use inorganic forms as efficiently and effectively as organic forms. To get around this problem, use Celtic Sea Salt, which comes from the ocean, is not refined, is gray, moist and is surrounded by organic “Mother Liquor”.

Barne’s Basal Body Temperature Test

by | Techniques

For the Barne’s Basal Body Temperature Test, take temperature at the same time every day before getting out of bed–even to urinate. For women still having their period, you will want to do the test starting the second day of mensus because the hormone progesterone, released during certain other times of your cycle, will increase your body temperature. For men and post menopausal women take it for 4 consecutive days.
