Menopause Symptoms and that sneaky little gland (con't)...

Women, it seems, are more susceptible to low thyroid function
by approximately 8 to 1, according to Gillian Ford, author of
"Linking Thyroid and Depression".

Why?

Maybe its because so many women have taken on the
role of superwoman! Mother, wife, career professional,
from chief cook to bottle washer. It's no wonder women
have the highest incidence of chronic fatigue and
fibromyalgia in history!

A major challenge is that thyroid function is not being
detected adequately. Yet, there are 2 simple tests that
can be done. The problem can then be easily corrected
with a health program that brings the thyroid to
normal levels.


First Test
The first test is the basal thermometer test. Before you
get out of bed in the morning, take your temperature.
Lay in bed for at least 10 minutes to get an accurate
reading. Record your temperature and repeat this
for 3 days. Once you get this average, you will be
able to see if your thyroid is functioning at a high or
low level.

Second Test
The second test involves buying iodine at your local
drugstore. Then make a small dab on the inside of
your arm or thigh. If it disappears within 15 minutes,
your thyroid is definitely on the low side.

Let's fix it!
Ok, so now you know roughly that your thyroid could
be a bit out of balance. What do you do next?

In my clinic, I have found one of the quickest ways to
get the thyroid back into balance is to take kelp tabs.
Liquid dulse can also be taken, as well as eating nori
seaweed, sprinkling it on salads, soups, etc. The
seaweed is one of the highest sources of natural
iodine.
