Hypothyroidism Reaches Epidemic Proportions, Causing Fatigue and Weight Gain
Hypothyroidism Reaches Epidemic Proportions, Causing Fatigue and Weight Gain

NaturalNews) Is the average temperature of the human body still 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit? This often quoted average was determined in the nineteenth century. A more recent study has reported an average temperature of 98.2, and experts believe the decrease in body heat is the result of an epidemic of mild or moderate hypothyroidism. Some believe we are evolving into a population with the propensity for low thyroid function because antibiotics have allowed people who would have died from pneumonia and other diseases associated with hypothyroidism to remain alive and reproduce. Others see rising hypothyroidism rates as the result of diet and environmental factors. Whatever the answer is, one thing is sure. More people than ever are suffering from the myriad of symptoms associated with low thyroid levels, especially women.
Thyroid is the most important hormone in the body. Because it stimulates the production of cellular energy, production of all other hormones will be negatively impacted when thyroid hormone levels are less than optimal. Every aspect of health is affected by low thyroid function............
Fluoride from water, foods and toothpaste causes severe hypothyroidism.............

This fits in with my own experience. I have had borderline slow thyroid function ( i.e. in the ' low average band' not so low that doctors thought treatment was needed) since the age of about 40 and since then have had real battles with the weight. Until recently I used fluoride toothpaste. I've been told that fluoride used to be prescribed as a medicine to slow down over-active thyroids until the 1950s , but I haven't got the proof of this. Do you ( or anyone) have the evidence and references to studies to lend weight to the argument?

I've got all the symptoms of hypothyroidism for seven years. I am taking porcine thyroid tablets for nearly 3 months and now I can feel the great benefits. I feel revitalized and less tired all the time.
