COME SEE OUR FABULOUS NEW FACILITY Food Allergies and Low Thyroid Symptoms! By Dr. Greg Fors, DC

Many people unknowingly suffer from low thyroid symptoms and hidden food allergies; this is especially true for women. Hopefully the following will help you understand this increasingly common predicament. First let's look at thyroid issues. Thyroid hormones control your metabolism and when thyroid hormones are low it causes the cells in your body and brain to slow down. Symptoms include: fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, brain fog, depression, thinning hair, cold hands and feet. And for some; digestive problems like constipation and acid indigestion may also signal low thyroid. Many are told that their TSH thyroid lab test is “normal”, yet they continue to suffer with symptoms of low thyroid and a slow metabolism. Furthermore a high percent of those prescribed thyroid medication after an abnormal TSH thyroid test still continue to suffer many the same symptoms. Research shows that while basic lab blood tests are valuable in initially evaluating thyroid dysfunction, they are often inadequate in finding the underlying causes. Also many individuals have one or more food items that they are allergic or sensitive to, and their body does not function well when eating these foods. Food allergies and sensitivities occur when your body's immune system mistakenly identifies a normally harmless substance and tags it as an invader, as it does to bacteria or viruses. When the immune system is in chronic and almost continuous attack mode, it most certainly will produce adverse side effects. Think about how you felt when your system last was attacked by the flu; the symptoms of food allergies and sensitivities are similar but even more varied, chronic muscle ache, fatigue, brain fog, low energy, mood disorders, premenstrual syndrome, and recurrent infections. These, along with gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, gas, abdominal pain and discomfort, nausea, heartburn, and even behavioral problems are very commonly caused by food allergies and sensitivities. You only need to compare the symptoms found in low thyroid dysfunction to those found with food allergies to see that there is a confusing overlap. I find that many of my patients have not had their thyroid function properly diagnosed, but additionally, no doctor pursued the possibility that hidden IgG antibody food allergies may be playing a role in the symptomatology. Properly diagnosing hidden IgG food allergies requires much more comprehensive laboratory testing than the usual IgE food panel typically administered. This lack of more comprehensive testing at the onset is important when understanding that food allergies can, and do play a major role in causing the number one type of hypothyroidism; a disorder known as Hashimoto's disease. Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is the most common thyroid disease in the country today. When specific antigens from food, mold, bacteria, or viruses trigger the autoimmune reaction your own immune system releases antibodies that attack your thyroid decreasing the thyroid’s hormone output causing hypothyroidism. Environmental chemicals and heavy metals can also be triggers. A very common cause of Hashimoto's is Gluten sensitivity, which is frequently undiagnosed. Given our modern day diets and the chemicals we are exposed to every day, on, in and around our bodies, it’s easy to see the connection. Research finds Hashimoto's to be seven times more common in women than in men. There are also six patterns of thyroid dysfunction, and only one of them responds well to thyroid medication. It is no wonder then why so many sufferers have been disappointed in their response to the typical and over prescribed thyroid medication. In my upcoming seminars I will further explain why many individuals taking thyroid replacement hormones do not get better. I will discuss the six patterns to thyroid dysfunction, and why doctors do not run complete thyroid tests. I will also explain how food allergies affect your overall health as well as your thyroid function. Due the high demand and sensitivity of this information, seating for these seminars is limited. They will be held on Wed, Feb 20 at 7 PM in the Pain & Brain Healing Center of Blaine / Mon, Feb 25 at 6:30 PM at Johnsville Library in Blaine / and Wed, Feb 27 at 6:30 PM at Centennial Library in Circle Pines.

IN THE COLD! (continued) • Because Canada has long winters, it is no wonder that they have a lot of people who like to ice fish. It is home to the greatest number of participants in the sport. In the year 2000, Canadian anglers spent a combined total of 4,489,296 days ice fishing! • A small fishing village on the south shore of Nova Scotia, West Pubnico, was named for the native Mi’kmaq word, Pombcoup, which means: “a hole that has been cut in the ice for fishing.” • More than 60% of the fish Canadians catch beneath the ice are caught and released. They eat less than one third of their catch. They practice CPR: “catch, photograph, release!” • Minnesota is nicknamed the “Land of 10,000 Lakes.” There are actually 11,842 lakes in the state that are 10 acres or larger (4 ha). With so many lakes and cold winters it is no wonder that ice fishing is a popular sport. • Minnesota is known for its abundance of ice shelters set up on the state’s lakes. If you’ve ever flown into or out of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport you have probably noticed all of the dots on the lakes! Each year it is estimated that around 150,000 ice fishing shelters are set up. The state’s Department of Natural Resources estimates that about 30% of the fish caught in the state are caught when the lakes are frozen.

Award Winning Car Audio • Ice fishing is a risky sport and the depth of the ice is something to be taken very seriously. In 2009, over 100 people were stranded on the Great Lakes. They became stranded when ice broke away where they were fishing. The Coast Guard rescued all, however, one died in route to the hospital due to hypothermia. This life threatening condition occurs when body temperature falls below 95° F (35° C). • It is imperative when ice fishing to get expert advice. Knowing the area and the ice conditions can make the sport fun; not knowing can lead to disaster. It is recommended that ice thickness for someone fishing alone (not really advisable) be almost four inches (10 cm). For groups, where more are standing on the ice, the ice should be about 7.5 inches (18 cm). When vehicles are taken on the ice, which does happen in some cold climates, the ice should be 11-12 inches (28 cm). • Icebergs are much thicker than the ice that freezes over lakes in the winter. Icebergs are chunks of ice that developed on land, then break off and float in a lake or ocean. The word "iceberg” originates from the Dutch "ijsberg", which means ice mountain. • Icebergs are found in all shapes and sizes, from very small pieces to ice islands that can be the size of a small country. The term “iceberg” actually refers to ice larger than 16 feet (5 m) in diameter. Smaller icebergs are known as growlers and bergy bits. Even though

www.soundwavesinc.com

they are smaller, they are harder to spot and therefore very dangerous for ships. • Even though most icebergs are found floating in oceans of salt water they are made of pure fresh water. Most of the icebergs on earth are found in the frigid waters surrounding Antarctica and in the northern Atlantic Ocean. Most icebergs originate near the west coast of Greenland. • “Iceberg Alley” is the name given to an area from Baffin Bay, off the west coast of Greenland where many massive icebergs break into the water, to the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador on the east coast of Canada. The Newfoundland and Labrador area is known as the Iceberg Capital of the World. • Approximately 90% of the icebergs that are in the waters near Newfoundland and Labrador originated from the glaciers of western Greenland. They are among the fastest moving icebergs in the world. Even so, by most standards, the four miles (7 km) per year that they tend to move seems slow. It takes an estimated two to three years for the massive icebergs to cover the 1600 nautical miles (2963 km) and reach the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. If icebergs reach the Atlantic Ocean before melting, they melt rather quickly in the warm waters. • After the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, near Newfoundland, the United States, Canada, and eleven other countries formed the International Ice Patrol. The patrol uses airplanes and radar to track

icebergs that make their way into the major shipping lanes. The U.S. National Ice Center monitors icebergs larger than 5,400 square feet (500 sq/m) near Antarctica using satellite data. Icebergs are not just studied and watched to protect ships, scientists use them as tools for studying ocean processes and climate. • A way that some inventive Canadians have chosen to use the abundance of icebergs floating in their waters is in creating vodka and other alcoholic spirits. The Iceberg Vodka Corporation, based in St. John’s Newfoundland, produces spirits “made from naturally pure 12,000-yearold icebergs harvested off the coast of Newfoundland.” They use Ontario-grown sweet corn in making their beverages as well. They also make Iceberg Rum and Iceberg Gin. • The largest iceberg ever recorded was found near Baffin Island in 1882. Eight miles long and three miles wide (13 km long/6 km wide), its height above water was 65 feet (20 m).

FAMOUS WOMEN OF THE WORLD: GRANDMA MOSES

Grandma Moses is proof positive that you’re never too old to learn something new. Take a look at the life of this celebrated folk artist who started a new career in her 70s. • Grandma Moses was born Anna Mary Robertson in upstate New York in 1860. As a child, she began painting, squeezing juice out of grapes and lemons to obtain colors. • At the tender age of 12, Anna left home to work on a neighboring farm doing housework. At 27, she married one of the farm’s hired men, Thomas Moses. While on their honeymoon to North Carolina, the couple spied a farm in Virginia they liked, and invested their meager $600 savings to rent the place, where they remained for 20 years. For spare cash, Anna sold homemade potato chips and butter to the neighbors. The Moses had 10 children, only five of whom survived. • The family then moved to a farm at Eagle Bridge, New York, and it was here that Anna completed her first painting. While wallpapering her parlor, she ran out of paper, pasted up plain white paper and painted a scene. That first work still hangs today in a Bennington, Vermont museum. • When Anna was 67, Thomas passed away and she handed over the farm duties to her son and daughter-in-law. During her spare time, she embroidered pictures with yarn wool, which were much admired by family and friends.

However, arthritis set in, forcing her to give up her needlework when it became too difficult to hold the needle. But she could hold a brush, and so turned to painting at age 76. • Grandma Moses laid Masonite flat on an old kitchen table for her work rather than using an easel. She shared her “studio” with the washer and dryer. She charged $2 for a small painting and $3 for a large one. When she was 78, an art collector from New York City happened to be driving through Grandma’s small community and saw her paintings in the window of the W.D. Thomas Pharmacy. He bought every one, then drove to the Moses’ farm to purchase all she had on hand. Three major exhibits followed shortly after, and Anna was on the road to fame. • Grandma Moses lived past her 101st birthday. LIFE magazine featured her on the cover of its September, 19, 1960 issue in honor of her 100th birthday. Twenty-five paintings were done after she hit the century mark. Her art hangs in nine U.S. museums, and another hangs in the White House. In 2004, one of her painting appeared on the PBS broadcast Antiques Roadshow, where it was appraised at $60,000. The painting “The Old Checkered House, 1862,” had been purchased in the 1940s for less than $10, and had appeared in a 1946 ad campaign for DuBarry cosmetics’ “Primitive Red” lip gloss. Her highest-selling work to date, her 1943 painting “Sugaring Off,” sold in 2006 for $1.2 million. • Fellow artist Norman Rockwell included Grandma’s likeness in his 1948 painting “Christmas Homecoming,” featured on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post’s Christmas issue that year. • Fans of the 1960s television comedy series The Beverly Hillbillies” may recall that the name of the character known as Granny was Daisy Moses. She was named such as a tribute to Grandma Moses, who had died shortly before the series premiered.

That old German Shepherd nearly had me!"

“Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.” -- Jose Maria de E a de Queiroz

● Martin Van Buren was the first president to be born a citizen of the United States. ********************* Thoughts for the Day: “When you stop doing things for fun you might as well be dead.” -- Ernest Hemingway

● If you’ve read “Alice in Wonderland” or seen any of the numerous adaptations of it, you probably know about the Mad Hatter. But did you ever wonder why he was mad? It seems that haberdashers (those who make hats) at one time used mercury to cure the felt they needed for the hats. Long-term exposure to mercury causes madness, hence the phrase “mad as a hatter.”

● In 1900, a prairie dog colony was found in Texas. That’s not surprising -- prairie dogs are fairly common out West -- but this colony was unique. Researchers say it was the largest colony ever discovered, providing a home to 400 million prairie dogs and stretching over 25,000 square miles.

● It was British author Oscar Wilde who made the following sage observation: “Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.”

● Those who study such things say that 10 years after a hot dog has been dumped in a landfill, the wiener could still be intact.

● The next time you see a shampoo commercial and note how creamy and frothy the lather seems to be, keep this in mind: The model in the advertisement probably has either laundry detergent or frothed egg whites on her hair.

● When you studied history in school, you probably didn’t learn about Edward Hyde. He was a cousin to Queen Anne and was appointed to the post of colonial governor of New York, in which position he served from 1702 to 1708. Though he’s not well known now, he was quite the talk of the colonies in his day. It seems that when a delegation of colonists went to his mansion to welcome the new governor, they found him sitting on the front porch, crocheting a doily and wearing one of his wife’s dresses. At his first formal ball as governor, he wore a gown. His eccentricities continued until he was caught embezzling public money and was returned to England.

● If you cook a single ostrich egg, you can feed 24 people.

In winter most areas of North America are dealing with cold weather. Some people love it; some hate it. In this Tidbits we will look at ice fishing and icebergs, as well as how you can be left “out in the cold,” and that has nothing to do with the weather! • Cold is defined as “having a relatively low temperature; having little or no warmth.” Also, in regards to behavior or personality it can be: “lacking in passion, emotion, enthusiasm” or “not affectionate, cordial, or friendly.” • If you’ve ever been in a situation where you were ignored, neglected or forgotten, you probably felt like you were “left out in the cold.” In this situation, the term is used as an idiom. This idiom originated in the 1800s in reference to someone who was left outdoors without shelter. Hopefully this doesn’t happen often! • Many fishermen (mostly men, but there are women enthusiasts as well) love to drill through deep ice and wait for fish to bite! Ice fishing is a major winter past-time in Canada and northern states in the U.S. that are cold enough for thick ice. Some great advantages of ice fishing: not as many anglers trying to get your spot, fewer insects “bugging” you, and you’re not likely to perspire!
