It could be your thyroid gland. Over the years, I have treated many patients with low thyroid states as well as those whose thyroid is underactive due to Hashimoto’s disease. Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune condition where the immune system has become confused and begins to attack the thyroid causing the inflammation which disrupts thyroid activity.
Like all health conditions, thyroid dysfunction is usually the culmination and result of a combination of factors including toxic load, deficiencies in magnesium, iodine, iron and vitamin A; stress; hormonal imbalances, lack of sleep, depression, overwork, chronic infections, heavy metals, petrochemicals and solvent exposure.
In my experience, hypothyroidism commonly escapes detection by standard thyroid tests. However, it can sometimes be detected by a low basal body temperature. Â First thing in the morning before you get up, take your temperature with an oral mercury thermometer in the armpit. Â Do this for three days in a row.
For menstruating women, take your temperature at day 2 to day 4 of your periods. If your temperature stays below 36.3 degrees C, your thyroid may be underactive, and you should consult your health practitioner.
Possible Signs of Low Thyroid:
- Low basal temperature in early mornings average over 7 days
- Slow movements, slow speech, slow reaction time
- Muscle weakness
- Excessive tiredness
- Thick tongue (seemingly too big for mouth)
- Swollen feet, face or eyelids
- Pale lips or yellowish skin
- Enlarged thyroid gland
- Frequent sore throat or husky voice
- Dry mouth or eyes
- Excessively dry or coarse skin
- Very low blood pressure
- Decreased ankle reflexes
- Loss of outer one-third of eyebrows.
Underactive thyroid and other hormonal or glandular problems should be treated, as they can have serious health effects. At my clinics, we use a combination of natural therapies, including diet and hormonal balancing that has restored many women to complete health and vigour.
