Tip of the Day for March 01, 2004

According to Katrina Berne, Ph.D., " Thyroid hormone controls metabolism by

converting calories to energy. Hypothyroidism is common in CFS/FMS patients.

Many physicians treat hypothyroidism when symptoms are present and test

results are low or low-normal. Hypothyroidism slows the heart rate and is

characterized by symptoms of sluggishness, fatigue, modest weight gain, dry

skin, hair loss, brittle nails and hair, cold intolerance, irritability,

confusion, and depression. Natural replacements supply both thyroxine and

triiodothyronine, whereas synthetic thyroids replace thyroxine alone. "
