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.

BASAL TEMPERATURE VERSUS BASAL METABOLISM

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.
