The Most Accurate Test for Hypothyroidism I want to share with you one of the easiest and most accurate ways to determine whether or not you suffer from hypothyroidism. One of the most unfortunate aspects of this way to test for hypothyroidism is the fact that it doesn’t cost you a dime. I say this is unfortunate because the medical community shows little to no interest in testing that they cannot profit from. So, instead of accurately diagnosing the many people who are suffering from hypothyroidism, they rely on expensive lab tests that make them a lot of money while providing very poor results. Monitoring your Morning Temperature and Pulse Yes, your morning temperature and pulse together are very accurate indicators of hypothyroidism, if you measure them properly. Monitoring your morning temperature was a concept that was pioneered by an American doctor by the name of Broda Barnes. Dr. Broda Barnes studied hormonal issues and argued against the medical community that hypothyroidism was widely under-diagnosed. He spent more than 50 years researching and proving that hypothyroidism was the underlying cause of heart disease today. Even though nobody has been able to invalidate his research, his work has been, and continues to be, completely ignored by modern medicine today. In 1942 he published a study demonstrating the effectiveness of basal temperature in diagnosing hypothyroidism and its ability to prevent misdiagnoses that to this day continue to lead to unnecessary operations to remove the thyroid gland, leading to unnecessary severe health complications. JAMA. 1942;119(14):1072-1074. doi:10.1001/jama.1942.02830310006003. BASAL TEMPERATURE VERSUS BASAL METABOLISM http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=256690 SUMMARY 1. From a study of over 1,000 cases the results indicate that subnormal body temperature is a better index for thyroid therapy than the basal metabolic rate. 2. The differential diagnosis between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism is sometimes difficult. In 7 cases reported the diagnosis was wrong, in 5 of which an operation had been performed. The temperature was subnormal in each case. 10
