heilette Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hi everybody Does somebody have any information about the thyroid hormone T4 and low temperatures and if there is a connection with CH? Took my temperature after having a mild CH it was only 36 degrees C :-? www.wtsmed.com The symptoms sound so the same as mine? heilette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH-HELL Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 36c is still with in normal range. Did you use O2 to abort the CH? If so that would cause your oral temperature to be lower. CH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejeeber Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Thanks for the Wilson's link Heilette. I may actually try some of those body temp raising herbs at one point for fatigue'n junk, not that I have any idea whether there would be a CH correlation. There's a classic book "Hypothyroidism: The Unsuspected Illness". The way I remember it, the author was a Navy doctor who had a LOT of servicemen he could run experiments on, and when he measured waking temperature on them, he found the ones with low temps were hypothyroid, and responded to treatment, although conventional tests weren't catching it. So his method is to put a thermometer in the 'ol armpitsky upon waking (and remaining still) for several days in a row, and if it consistently registers low, well that tels ya sumthin' Mine came in consistently low - in the 97-ish F range. I've seen others wonder aloud whether the thyroid bone is connected to the CH bone, but don't recall anyone reporting CH relief from thyroid treatment.

CHfather Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 More-or-less random thoughts . . . I haven't read the whole Wilson's thing, but I recalled that licorice root, which has been valuable for treating Heilette's CH, is specifically used by some people to address hypothyroidism. E.g., '>http://www.livestrong.com/article/506254-the-effect-of-licorice-on-hypothyroidism/  But from other things I've glanced at, it seems this method of treatment is questionable, or at least has to be applied with great care. I also recall that somewhere in his long tome on the licorice root protocol, Les mentions that licorice root is a fairly powerful temperature-reducing agent. All of which reminds me -- Heilette, I hope are you being careful to follow Les's requirement that a person should not stay on the licorice root protocol for too long at one time.

spiny Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 heilette, Wilson lost his license for a few months and was disciplined for this theory and treatment provided for it. The medicos say there is no such thing and he was scamming patients. Who is right? I don't know, but I would be cautious. all the best spiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heilette Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Thanks everybody The information you gave was very helpful!!
