[Guest guest]

Blaylock Tip of the WeekDo You Have Deadly Hypothyroidismand Not Know It?Thirteen million Americans — equal to the populations of Los Angeles and Chicago combined — have a miserable, deadly disease. And they don’t even know it. These Americans suffer from hypothyroidism, a disease characterized by the thyroid gland producing too little of the various thyroid hormones. Those that are undiagnosed go untreated, sometimes with fatal results. When a person loses a majority of the function of the thyroid gland, especially if it occurs rapidly, some obvious and immediate symptoms develop. They include: Sudden unexplained weight gain or great difficulty losing fat Severe fatigue and frequent exhaustion Depression and gloominess Frequent constipation Menstrual irregularities — especially heavy bleeding with periods Dry, coarse skin that is pale and itchy. Puffiness of the face, especially in postmenopausal women Dry, coarse, thinning hair (also losing the outer third of your eyebrows) Intolerance to cold These are symptoms of fully blown hypothyroidism but, increasingly, the medical profession is recognizing that many people have lesser degrees of thyroid hormone deficiency, called subclinical hypothyroidism. These patients can have much more subtle symptoms and, frighteningly, mostly normal test results. The subclinical signs of hypothyroidism include the following: Muscle spasms and fatigue Hair loss (thinning of the hair), especially in women Elevated cholesterol, triglycerides and Lp(a) levels Weight gain A study released this week showed that women with slightly underactive thyroids had a 69 percent increased risk of dying from heart disease than women whose thyroids were more active.
