Rising deaths, Holistic Medicine can help.
Now, finally, State and Federal Health Officials among other major health agencies have recognized increasing deaths among patients who use narcotics for pain control. This is not a joke. It is a serious issue and requires immediate action. I continually see pharmaceutical companies pushing their marketing by way of advertising, in major medical journals, at major medical conferences and on television, etc., influencing and encouraging physicians and patients to rely on narcotics as an acceptable form of pain control. When I open my medical journals the first thing that I usually notice is an advertisement for narcotics. When I go to medical conferences, I see bill boards and stands with slues of advertising paraphernalia specifically geared toward using narcotics for pain control. This does nothing but to brain wash and make a physician automatically associate pain with narcotics. What a sad thing?
 The thing that we need to realize is that when a patient is using narcotics and addictive drugs, the drug takes control of the patient and s/he loses control of his/her own body and mind. The craving s/he gets can make keep them from rationalizing things properly. They may think and act irrationally or illegally and are at a greater risk to do bodily harm to themselves or others. I refer to the recent death of Michael Jackson and the mourning of millions of his fans; this should have been a wakeup call, of sorts, and more importantly a lesson to us all, a starting point, if you will, to find an alternative way to replace narcotics and addictive drugs.
 This alone should alert us to the serious effects that narcotics present, and it demands immediate action! I strongly believe with Natural, Holistic, Integrative and Alternative Care 90% of narcotics and addictive’s can be eliminated.

 YOUR TSH IS NORMAL. IS YOUR THYROID NORMAL?  (AS YOUR DOCTOR MAY ASSUME!!!!)

You've seen one doctor after another, each treating some aspect of your suffering but none of them getting to the root of your many and varied symptoms. Finally you've figured it out: it’s the thyroid! So you get yourself to a well-respected doctor who understands these things. You’re tested for TSH, but lo and behold, it comes back “normal.”

 

What is going on, really?

 

While the TSH may be normal, your thyroid antibodies may be abnormal. But perhaps you weren’t tested for this. If your thyroid disorder is given proper treatment at this stage, that treatment may reverse and prevent damage to the thyroid.

 

Thyroid dysfunctions may present many ways, and that is what can be so confusing, to patients and to their doctors.

 

Thyroid problems have been linked to more then 59 diseases like cancer, diabetes, obesity, ADHD, skin, nail and hair conditions, high cholesterol, high or low blood pressure, angina, heart attacks, strokes, allergies, carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, arthritis and many others conditions.

 

According to Dr. David Brownstien MD, 52 million Americans are suffering from thyroid dysfunction and most of them do not even know it. He states that sixty to eighty percent of Americans may have unrecognized thyroid problems. Like oxygen, every cell in the body needs thyroid hormone. Thyroid dysfunction will affect every cell, every organ of the body. A thyroid imbalance can cause an imbalance in other hormones as well.

 

Interestingly, the usual thyroid lab tests may be negative and may therefore be misleading. The test most commonly ordered is for TSH and it may be normal. As a result, patients are told they do not have thyroid disease. However, the doctor who takes a thorough history, performs a thorough examination and obtains fasting temperatures has the opportunity to discover when patients are still showing evidence of hypothyroidism and/or high Free T3 despite “normal” TSH levels. According to Dr. Brownstien, ever since doctors started relying on TSH alone as an indicator of thyroid disease, many cases of hypothyroidism have been missed. Consequently, not only are cancer, diabetes, heart disease and obesity on the rise but also new mysterious diseases like chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.

 

It is important to recognize all the signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism. Some of the symptoms patients may experience are:

 

•macroglossia (big tongue)

•pale skin

•loss of smell or taste

•slow speech

•thinning hair and/or eyebrows

•sensitivity to cold

•muscle weakness

•tenderness

•stiffness

•yellow skin

•headaches

•poor memory

•mental fog

•depression

•mental slowness

•acne

•atherosclerosis

•high cholesterol

•arthritis

•constipation

•eczema

•psoriasis

•cold extremities

•voice changes

•fatigue especially in the morning

•infertility

•Menstrual problems

•paresthesia (numbness)

•carpel tunnel

•ovarian cysts

•anemia

•preorbital edema ( swelling around the eyes)

•proptosis (bulging eyes)

•dry skin

•bugging eyes

•puffy face

•goiter (swelling in front of your neck)

•hypotension or hypertension

•slow reflexes

What can you do?

 

If you suspect you may have a thyroid issue, take your fasting temperature daily, first thing in the morning. If your temperature is below 98.2 F, hypothyroidism should be considered and further evaluation is needed. You should also check your pulse and blood pressure. High or low pulse and blood pressure is anther indication of thyroid disease.

 

Feel free to contact Dr Tahir if you would like to start to feel well again.
