Ja-a, hvorfor blir man ikke tatt alvorlig ?
Og hvilken sykdom er det best å vente med å behandle ?
Og hvorfor er det akkurat OSS som ikke skal behandles som alle andre ?
Og hvorfor får vi ikke lov å velge hvilken medisin vi skal bruke ?
I alle andre sykdomsgrupper er det en selvfølge man tar individuelle hensyn og velger det medikamentet som passer pasienten best, og skreddersyr et opplegg.
Bare ikke i vår !!!
Noe forklaring kan man tenke seg er nedarvet fra den gang MENN var leger, og kvinner var "noen sytekopper" som ikke feilte noe (muligens noe psykisk da), og som bare satt der å klaget !
Dette er jo en 90% kvinnesykdom, og den er ikke forstått før etter 1990 - i den grad man kan si at den er forstått da.....
Er jo noe beskjemmet på mitt kjønns vegne der !
Ikke for det - er en kvinnelege bedre ?
De strever vel like mye som de mannlige med å oppfylle kodexen ?
Den setter jo endokrinologen (som jo enda er en mann!) - og nåde den som opponerer !

The following information comes mainly from the pioneering research of Dr. Ray Peat and Broda Barnes. References are given where appropriate.
The Thyroid Gland
The thyroid gland is small, butterfly-shaped and located in the neck. This gland controls our metabolism, or the rate at which food is burned to form energy. Thyroid hormone and vitamin A are required to convert cholesterol into vital anti-ageing steroids: pregnenolone, progesterone and DHEA. When thyroid secretion is inadequate, these steroids cannot be produced in adequate amounts. That’s why low thyroid function has so many varied and broad-spectrum symptoms. It is easy to recognise severe hypothyroidism in the child (cretinism) and a person who has myxoedema with its characteristic appearance - round face, double chin and fat, round belly plus abnormally bent knees and elbows. But, subclinical hypothyroidism is much more common and less easily recognised, because of the variety of symptoms.
Hypothyroidism and Radiation (Røntgen & CT er MEGET skadelig !!
MR & Ultralyd er MEGET braaaaaaa !!
For years I have observed that the majority of people who come to me have some form of thyroid dysfunction. Is this a coincidence, or am I seeing a common phenomenon? There are no accurate figures but I believe that mild to severe hypothyroidism is a modern epidemic. Why? Radiation is probably the greatest environmental cause of hypothyroidism and other thyroid problems, including tumours and thyroid cancer
Many radiogenic symptoms stem from damage to the thyroid that comes from iodine 131. The thyroid gland and other organs are also sensitive to many radioactive elements present in radioactive fallout. Breathing air or eating food that has been contaminated with radiation can occur unrecognised by the victim. This causes far-reaching systemic effects, which includes damage to the thyroid gland. Epidemiological studies of downwinders show many of the symptoms of hypothyroidism described below, including chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia. Ray Peat describes fibromyalgia as a combination of edema, inflammation and low blood sugar, all symptoms of hypothyroidism.
Dietary and Environmental Causes of Hypothyroidism
A low protein diet: Organic animal protein is essential for the production of the thyroid hormone and its conversion to the active form in the liver. Veganism leads to low thyroid function and low cholesterol which can lead to all of the major chronic degenerative diseases (take your pick): lung problems, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, gallbladder problems, depression, mental problems, and senility, etc. Women especially are vulnerable, because when they have low thyroid function, they become estrogen dominant and can’t make progesterone.
So, women have five to six times more osteoporosis, gallbladder disease, diabetes, etc., than men. The exception is men who eat commercial (high pesticide) plants, fruits and vegetables. All pesticides are estrogen mimics (xenoestrogens) and are carcinogenic. By organic animal protein, I mean eggs, dairy, cheese, yogurt, chicken, turkey, lamb and beef. You can’t get organic fish but you can get good fish, such as halibut and shrimp. The minimum daily amount of protein for good thyroid health is 4 oz per meal (about 114 grams of protein) three times daily.
Alt Fiske & Plante Fett må vekk fra kostholdet
(utenom Kokos olje)!!
Polyunsaturated Fats (PUFA or omega-3 and -6 oils)):This includes all oils liquid at room temperature including: soybean, canola, safflower, corn, flaxseed, fish/seal(Omega-3), Evening Primrose, and borage oils. The exception is extra virgin olive and Cocos oil. The use of polyunsaturated vegetable oils, whether processed or not, interferes with thyroid function. “The more unsaturated an oil is, the more strongly it interferes with thyroid secretion, the transport of thyroid hormone in the blood and the response of the tissue thyroid receptors.”
(R.Peat, Townsend Newsletter, April 1994).
All forms of estrogen: ALL estrogenic substances, whether natural, synthetic, herbal or environmental are extremely toxic and cause the diseases of aging – heart disease, cancer, gallbladder disease, blood clots, blood pressure abnormalities, seizures, age spots, arthritis, all female problems including menopause, brain cell death and senility.Natural (not synthetic) progesterone prevents these diseases.(Naturlig Progesteron er din “Frelser”,jeg kjøper Progest-E-Complex fra England.Den er smekkfull av Naturlig E-vitamin i tillegg…De fleste andre som lager Naturlig Progesteron ,,bruker Syntestisk E – vitamin(Acetat),,,som har en meget lav effekt ,,men som er billigere !!!)
Estrogen prevents your thyroid from secreting the thyroid hormone and also inhibits the conversion of T4 (the inactive form of the thyroid hormone) to T3 (the active form of the thyroid hormone). If you use HRT replacement,you maybe take 20 times the amount of estrogen that your body made when you were at the peak of your fertility. If you choose to stop taking this toxic drug, the main complaint that most women have is hot flashes. These will gradually go away with thyroid, progesterone and pregnenolone therapy.
Soy products: Soy products contain three potent estrogenic substances (plant or phytoestrogens), which inhibit thyroid function and the conversion of T4, the inactive form of the thyroid hormone to T3, the active form of the thyroid hormone.
Pesticides in commercial foods: Pesticides are estrogen mimics and inhibit thyroid function. In addition, commercial foods containing pesticides have from 200-400% LESS nutrition than the organic equivalents. So, although organic foods are more expensive, you will get much more for your money and will be satisfied with less food.
Fluoride: common in water, reconstituted beverages, foods and toothpaste causes severe hypothyroidism, poisons over 100 enzymes, and causes increased risk to seizures, bone disease, premature aging and cancer (Waldbott).
Synthetic and genetically engineered hormones: (estrogen and others) in meat, dairy products, poultry and eggs and in birth control pills block the release of thyroid hormone from the gland.
Excess iodine is a powerful thyroid inhibitor. Most Americans get too much iodine because it is used as a dough conditioner as iodates and in commercial iodised salt. (Dr. Ray Peat Ph.D., Nutrition for Women, page 17).
Certain isolated nutrients found in vitamins, such as beta-carotene and PABA (para amino benzoic acid) are thyroid inhibitors.
Mercury, present in silver amalgam fillings and as an environmental toxin, inhibits the conversion of T4 to T3. In fact, most toxins are thyroid inhibitors.
Endurance exercise(jo hardere jo verre) also depresses thyroid function. That’s why endurance athletes have a slow pulse. According to Peat, exercise accelerates the breakdown of thyroid hormones, resulting in a protective slowing of metabolism. “The slow heart beat of runners is largely the result of this adaptive hypothyroidism.”
How to find out if you have a sluggish thyroid
IKKE stol på Legens blod tester !!!!!!!
There is no accurate medical test for thyroid function. A person may have normal levels of thyroxin but not be converting it adequately to the active form of the thyroid hormone (triiodothyronine or liothyronine). High cholesterol is practically diagnostic of hypothyroidism.
(hvis ditt Kolesterol stiger,etter å ha vært jevnt I noen år
= Lavt Stoffskifte))
Why? Because thyroid hormone controls the conversion of cholesterol to important anti-ageing hormones and to bile salts. However, many hypothyroid people have low cholesterol from a suppressed immune system or from eating a low protein (vegan) diet.
The late Dr. Broda Barnes introduced the basal temperature test as an easy way to determine adequate thyroid function. It’s important to do an oral temperature test. The oral temperature is measured with an oral digital thermometer after arising. Women should do this during their menses to ensure missing the rise of temperature during ovulation. The morning oral temperature after arising should be 98.0 degrees F. It should then rise to 98.6-99 degrees F during daylight hours and the healthy resting daytime pulse should be around 85 beats per minute. The national average is around 72. If your pulse is less than 80, you may have an underactive thyroid (however a hypothyroid person with high adrenalin can have a pulse of as high as 150). Babies have a pulse greater than 100 until around the age of eight years when the pulse slows down to around 85. Peat says that the idea of a slow pulse being healthy is folklore. Thyroid needs increase during the cold, dark winters and decrease during the warm summer days when there is more sunlight.
Common symptoms of hypothyroid function
Lavt Stoffskifte!!
Here is a partial list: chronic fatigue CFS.; insomnia; fibromyalgia; goiter; high or low blood pressure; underweight or overweight; depression; diagnosed with mental illness; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); allergies; immune system problems (frequent colds and flu, asthma, bronchitis, etc.); all female problems (PMS, cyclic migraines, cyclic seizures (at ovulation and menses), mood swings, fibrocystic breasts, ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, infertility, miscarriage around the 10th week, excessive, scanty or irregular menses, etc.); colon problems; skin problems; hypoglycaemia and all conditions related to ageing (heart problems, gallbladder disease, cancer and tumors, diabetes, senility, etc.). Here are some details on these problems.
Increased Cholesterol
Cholesterol may rise because there is inadequate thyroid hormone to convert it to bile salts and the anti-ageing hormones, pregnenolone, progesterone and DHEA. Many of the far-reaching effects of hypothyroid function result from a deficiency in these substances because of their importance in preventing tumors, cancer, heart disease, obesity, memory loss and other conditions associated with ageing. However there are conditions that can lead to inadequate cholesterol production, such as a low animal protein diet and other dietary and immune system factors.
Blood Sugar Problems; Increased Adrenalin and Cortisol
Glucose is required to convert thyroxin (T4) to its active form, triiodothyronine or liothyronine (T3). This occurs mainly in the liver, if glucose is adequate. Why? Glucose activates sulfhydryl enzymes that convert T4 to T3. What happens when T3 is not produced, whatever the cause - stress, radiation, environmental toxins, excess dietary estrogen or liver problems? When T3 decreases, the respiratory or mitochondrial enzymes do not work. T3 is essential for activating the electron transport chain down to the production of oxygen. When T3 is inadequate, sugar (glucose) is burned inefficiently to lactic acid instead of all the way to carbon dioxide. So, the body gets less energy from the same amount of glucose. When the liver runs out of stored sugar (glycogen), it stops converting T4 to T3.
The overall effect of this is low blood sugar, leading to increased adrenalin to compensate for the deficiency of energy, glucose and oxygen. Low thyroid patients excrete 30-40 times the normal amounts of adrenalin metabolites. At first, adrenalin attempts to mobilise glycogen and stored fat. Then progesterone is converted to cortisol in the adrenal cortex by a complex pathway involving a pituitary hormone (ACTH), which is released in response to adrenalin. Cortisol increases blood sugar via the catabolism of protein. Increased cortisol can decrease adrenalin and lead to a low pulse, common in hypothyroid people. But, if the adrenal cortex becomes exhausted and cannot produce enough cortisol, adrenalin will rise. Adrenalin-dominant people may have a high pulse around 120-150 but are still hypothyroid. In either case, proper thyroid therapy will normalize the resting pulse to the optimum, 85 beats per minute. The production of cortisol is a life saving response to stress but in the hypothyroid person, it occurs abnormally in an attempt to keep the blood sugar up. Cortisol, like estrogen, inhibits the thyroid, creating a vicious cycle that can only be broken by proper hormone balancing, such as thyroid therapy, and by opposing cortisone and/or estrogen with pregnenolone and progesterone, respectively. In addition, excess cortisol can lead to hot flushes or night sweats, diabetes, bone loss and glaucoma.
