Download or read book Tired Thyroid written by Barbara S. Lougheed and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you suffer from fatigue, dry skin, thin hair, memory issues, constipation, and feel cold all the time? Do you have anxiety, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, adrenal fatigue (problems dealing with stress), PCOS/infertility, brain fog/dementia, osteoporosis, insomnia, insulin resistance, or asthma? Have you ever asked your doctor about hypothyroidism, tested your TSH, and been told your results were normal? Learn why it's so difficult to get a hypothyroid diagnosis today, and why patients don't feel well when a TSH lab test determines their dose (the TSH Rule). Learn what tests to ask for instead, what a normal thyroid gland secretes, and the pros and cons of popular internet protocols.Read five case studies that illustrate the flaws of using TSH as a dosing guideline. 1) Barbara Lougheed shares her story as a hyperthyroid Graves' disease patient who had radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment. When she became hypothyroid, her doctor prescribed Synthroid (levothyroxine or T4). Follow her journey as she searches for her optimal dose, trying desiccated thyroid, T3, and various combinations. 2) A hypopituitary man remains undiagnosed for decades because of his normal TSH. 3) An older woman with Hashimoto's thyroid disease has her Synthroid dose reduced because of her low TSH, even though her T3 levels were below the reference range. 4) A young man's fatigue is puzzling until lab tests identify his iron loading condition. 5) A woman successfully battles Graves' disease using alternative treatments. Even though she no longer suffers from debilitating hyperthyroid symptoms, she still has very little TSH. Learn how thyroid hormones work and why current medical treatments and patient-directed internet protocols often don't relieve all symptoms. Is the iodine protocol, T3-only protocol to clear reverse T3 (rT3), or natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) a good idea for everyone? This book reveals the facts so patients can make an educated decision.

Download or read book NeuroKinetic Therapy written by David Weinstock and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NeuroKinetic Therapy is based on the premise that when an injury has occurred, certain muscles shut down or become inhibited, forcing other muscles to become overworked. This compensation pattern can create pain or tightness. By applying light pressure that the client then resists, the practitioner can evaluate the strength or weakness of each muscle, revealing the sources of injury and retraining the client’s body to remove the compensation patterns—reprogramming the body at the neural level.This easy-to-follow practitioner’s manual presents a series of muscle tests specially designed to uncover and resolve compensation patterns in the body. Author David Weinstock begins by explaining how this approach stimulates the body and mind to resolve pain. Organized anatomically, each section of the book includes clear photographs demonstrating correct positioning of the muscle accompanied by concise explanations and instructions. Labeled anatomical illustrations appear at the end of each section showing the relationships between the muscles and muscle groups. This essential resource is especially useful for physical therapists, chiropractors, orthopedists, and massage therapists looking for new ways to treat underlying causes of pain.
