Low Thyroid in Women!

Conquering Fatigue, Weight Gain, Mood Swings & Brain Fog By Dr. Greg Fors Your thyroid hormones control cellular metabolism, therefore if the thyroid is not working properly the cells of your body and brain can slow down. This can create symptoms of fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, depression, digestive problems, sugar cravings and cold hands and feet. Numerous individuals suffer from these symptoms even though their doctor tells them their thyroid tests are “in the normal range.� Also many people continue to suffer from these hypothyroid symptoms even when they are taking synthetic thyroid medication. However, there are solutions for these very common symptoms associated with low thyroid function and a slow metabolism, the doctor need only look deeper to find the underlying causes. One very common problem is that doctors do not run comprehensive enough thyroid testing. The usual approach is to measure a hormone from the pituitary gland called TSH and possibly a hormone from the thyroid gland called T4. If the results are with in the labs “normal� range the individual is told their thyroid is fine. If the person’s TSH is high and/or their T4 levels are low, the doctor will many times prescribed a synthetic thyroid hormone such as levothyroxine. But, there are many problems with this simple approach to this complex syndrome. First, the individual may be just within the normal range but for them this barely “normal� is not good enough to run their cellular metabolism. Second, and most importantly there are actually six patterns of thyroid dysfunction that must be properly diagnosed and treated for optimal health to return. Only one of these six patterns of thyroid dysfunction responds to synthetic thyroid medication. One of these six patterns of thyroid dysfunction, which I will explain in my upcoming seminar (See Below), is the most common cause of low thyroid function in the United States! This pattern of thyroid dysfunction involves an autoimmune reaction causing individual to attack their own tissues including their thyroid. Today autoimmune disorders are growing at an alarming rate and this specific disorder called Hashimoto’s disease is now one of the most common autoimmune disorders. Hashimoto’s disease is commonly caused by specific triggers for individual such as a certain foods, a mold, bacteria, or chronic virus that produces the autoimmune reaction. For example, undiagnosed gluten sensitivity is a very common cause of Hashimoto’s autoimmune reaction and thyroid dysfunction. People can also develop an immune response that affects the thyroid from environmental chemicals and heavy metals. Furthermore, to completely conquer the underlying cause of fatigue, weight gain, depression, and brain fog it is vital to address more than just the thyroid gland. Many times it is necessary to go to the heart of cellular function for your thyroid, muscles and brain to conquer these symptoms. At the center of all your cells are hundreds of throbbing engines cranking out massive energy (ATP), something called mitochondria. These organelles are the power plants of your cells and body. They take calories from your food, break it down and literally burn it for usable energy. When these little mitochondria are efficiently humming along, like well-tuned engines, you have all the energy you need throughout the day to run your muscles, brain and allow your thyroid to function properly. When your mitochondria are not working efficiently, this can lead to these very common symptoms. Once the key metabolic factors causing mitochondrial dysfunction have been identified, through proper laboratory test called an Organic Acid Profile, an effective patient specific nutritional program can be designed to normalize cellular function. This allows your cells mitochondria to begin producing massive amounts of energy they were designed to create, allowing you to live a life you have always dreamed of! The cause of these disabling symptoms of low thyroid and poor metabolism and the lab tests to properly diagnose these conditions will be the subject matter of my upcoming seminars. I will also discuss natural solutions to correct these thyroid problems.

LIBRARIES FOR ALL (continued): • That is not the largest library in the world though. The U.S. Library of Congress holds that honor with nearly 20 million books. The original building for the Library of Congress, established in 1800, was also destroyed by fire. It was burned by the British in 1814 during the War of 1812, and rebuilding started immediately. Former President Thomas Jefferson sold his personal library to Congress to help replace the books that were destroyed. The appraised value of his collection was $23,950 and more than doubled the original library. • Fire caused the loss of many books and entire libraries in the early years. Many churches and early government officials were instrumental in establishing and protecting history through donating works and rebuilding buildings after fires reduced libraries to ashes. • In 1875, there were 188 public libraries in the United States. By 1886, there were more than 600. The importance of public libraries was steadily growing when ScottishAmerican Andrew Carnegie made books even more accessible. • Carnegie was one of the richest men in the world, making his fortune in steel production and construction. He resolved by the age of 33 to keep only

$50,000 a year from his earnings and use the rest to help others. His “Gospel of Wealth,” was to “make no effort to increase fortune but spend the surplus each year for benevolent purposes. Cast aside business forever except for others.” He gave away more than $333 million — 90 percent of his fortune. Included in this benevolence was the creation of more than 1,600 free public library buildings in 1,412 American communities, 125 in Canada and more in his native Scotland and around the world. • In order for a community to receive library funds from Carnegie, they had to commit to providing land for the building with room for expansion as needs arose and a budget for operation and maintenance. He insisted on community commitment. The first Carnegie Library was built in Dunfermline, Scotland, Carnegie’s hometown. The first in the United States was in Braddock, Pennsylvania. • Many of the Carnegie Libraries in the United States are listed and protected on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the National Park Service and open for the public to enjoy. Even today, libraries are often designed as fantastic structures that draw people with their architectural significance. Then the magic of books and reading keeps them intrigued! • Seattle, Washington, received a

generous donation from Carnegie after its library was totally destroyed by fire on January 2, 1901. Four days later, Carnegie agreed to donate $200,000 to build a new “fireproof” library. • In 2004, the third building housing the Seattle Central Public Library located at the original Carnegie site, 1000 Fourth Avenue, was opened. This building was a result of the largest library bond issue ever submitted in the United States. The “Libraries for All” bond was for a proposed $196.4 million for a makeover of the entire Seattle Public Library system, including the new Central building. The project was completed in 2008 with donations and other gifts totaling $290.7 million. The new library is a beautiful architectural gem that is bustling with activity. Carnegie would be proud that he helped encourage this years ago! • The Toronto Public Library system is the largest in Canada with 99 branches. It also has the distinction of being the world’s busiest urban library system. Toronto is still using seven of the 10 libraries that were opened in the city using Carnegie grants. • Two of the most unique public libraries in the world are in the country of Columbia. Three rock-like buildings on a prominent peak overlooking the city of Medellín offer patrons a beautiful place to browse the open stacks of books and a wonderful view.

The building looks like three separate dark stones, but they are all connected underground. • The other unique library in Columbia travels on the backs of two donkeys! “Biblioburro” is the service offered by Luis Soriano, a primary school teacher who saw the need for rural children to have more access to books. The burros, Alfa and Beto (based on the word “alphabet”), have been carrying Luis and books to more than 4,000 youngsters since 1990. He and his wife also built the largest free library in Madgalena, next to their home. • Similar to the Biblioburro are bookmobiles, bus-sized vehicles driven into rural areas and allowing children and adults to peruse the shelves for reading material. The first was actually a book wagon used in Washington County, Maryland, in 1905. Modern bookmobiles are still in use today. • While the first public libraries consisted of many volumes of scrolls mostly made of papyrus and displayed in pigeon-hole shelves, today’s libraries contain hard and soft bound books, magazines, computers, music, movies and more. Libraries have been and will continue to be an important part of communities. Check out your public library soon!

Bits that Bite

The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had just gotten married for the fourth time. The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then about her new husband's occupation. "He's a funeral director," she answered. "Interesting," the newsman thought. He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first three husbands and what they did for a living. She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years. After a short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a banker when she was in her early 20's, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40's, and a preacher when in her 60's, and now in her 80's, a funeral director. The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married four men with such diverse careers. (wait for it.!...... ) She smiled and explained, "I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go."

Rather than starting your practice by hitting balls, try starting with a drill that will help you feel in rhythm and balance. Place your feet together and hit some pitch shots to help you feel the tempo of a good swing. By doing this, your help your body get into the proper feel for the day. Practice Perfect’s

Wise Shots

●A two-foot putt counts the same as a two-foot drive. ●Never wash your ball on the tee of a water hole. ●There is no such thing as a friendly wager. ●The only sure way to get a par is to leave a 4 -foot birdie putt 2 inches short of the hole. ●Don’t play with anyone who would question a 7. ●The odds of hitting a duffed shot increase by the square of the number of people watching. ●Never teach golf to your wife. ●Never play your son for money. ●The statute of limitations on forgotten strokes is 2 holes. ●Bets shorten drives and lengthen putts. ●It’s not a gimme if you’re still away. ●Always limp with the same leg for the whole round. ●Nothing straightens out a nasty slice quicker than a sharp dogleg to the right. ●It always takes at least five holes to notice that a club is missing. ●Every time an average golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make 2 triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe. ●No one with funny head covers ever broke par (except for Tiger Woods). ●If you seem to be hitting your shots straight on the driving range, it’s probably because you’re not aiming at anything.

Duncan realized that the toy had the potential to be a huge success, so he paid Flores $5,000 for all the rights. Incidentally, the name “yo-yoâ€? means “come-comeâ€? in the native language of the Philippines. â—? If you’re like the average American, showers account for nearly one-third of your home water use.

Public libraries have existed since around 288 B.C. The best-known early public library, considered the first, was the Great Library of “Absolutely the best value properly called the Royal Library in dry cleaning I’ve ever hadâ€? Alexandria, of Alexandria, in Egypt. Dean Prince Publisher of Tidbits • The ancient library served as a great resource center for scholars as well as the general public. It had around 700,000 scrolls, equivalent to $ . $ . more than 100,000 printed books. The original library was destroyed after about 600 years. M o t st s Mo The exact date and cause of the destruction is Dryclean Laundry unclear but many attribute its demise to Julius G ar ments Shirts Caesar. • When the uprising in Egypt occurred earlier this year many people did not realize that a major world library might be destroyed again!
