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.
