Thyroid

Anthony J Adams DDS in his office

Americans need heroes, people who go beyond the rest of us, to do what

needs to be done without reserve or consideration for their own well- being.

Healthcare is no different.  We need heroes in healthcare.  Women and men who

seek the truth and make it widely available without regard to the historic and

inevitable attacks they will endure form the close- minded and possibly self-

serving establishment.  There is inherent danger in blind acceptance of new

unvetted claims.  Yet, transformation into the future requires a vanguard of heroes

willing lead, teach, and discover that truth which is not yet known.

 

Today,  I celebrate the works of such a person,  Mark Starr M.D.,  whose works

investigating the thyroid gland are provocative.  I highly recommend to everyone

interested in  the health of their loved ones and themselves to read.

“Hypothyroidism type 2: The Epidemic ”  by Mark Starr M.D.

 

The thyroid gland has been called the master gland because it affects

everything directly or indirectly.   It has been studied extensively, however, main

stream clinical practices relying on blood tests may be missing the full functional

impact of the thyroid.

 

For the thyroid to maintain “normal” blood levels its hormones, it must produce

them.  The pituitary gland must produce thyroid stimulation hormone.  These

levels can be tested.   About 5% of Americans suffer type 1 hypothyroidism

according to Dr. Starr.

 

Dr. Starr and Thomas D. Boc, D.D.S.,  editor of this book,  define type 2 hypothyroidism

as peripheral resistance to thyroid hormones at the cellular level.  It is not the lack of

thyroid hormones.  Therefore blood tests do not detect type 2 hypothyroidism.

 

We live in a physical world that binds us to each other, like it or not.  The

statement, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you “ is an literally

an inescapable truth.  We are expose to a physical environment and are

exposed to the toxins others produce.  Tens of thousands of chemicals, known to

be toxic are created and unleashed every year. Our physical bodies have

a limited capacity to handle this.  Present and future generations are affected.

 

We eat foods knowingly and unknowingly that we do not know the effect of.

We eat altered foods, that from an evolutionary standpoint, are not proven

safe.  We create and disseminate toxins that cannot be contained geographically.

Consequently, we experience diseases at a higher level than ever before such as heart

disease, diabetes, cancer.  The malfunctioning thyroid most likely is involved between

our irresponsible practices and the diagnosis of these diseases.

 

When I studied Dr. Mark Starr’s book,  my mind exploded as I recognized family and

patients who manifested many of nearly 100 symptoms that I commonly see in my

dental practice.  It did not explain every abnormally I had seen.  It did open my eyes

to a bigger responsibility of getting so many of these suffering patients to physicians

who are willing to think out of the box and at least investigate the possibilities that could

be life saving and life changing in very positive ways.  The disease of undiagnosed Type 2

Hypothyroidism can be treated.

 

It has been said,  “The eye cannot see that which the mind can not perceive.”

Many times that we look for answers in all the wrong places, then accept the

result we get, claiming that it is what it is, which is no answer at all.
