Re: Back to the body temperature thing

[Guest guest]

Dear Robin,

That is great what you are discovering, i.e. a connection between

adrenal function and temperature levels. It makes sense to me, but I

haven't look into it. Do you belong to any Weston A. Price connected

message boards, i.e. Native Nutrition or Traditional Nutrition? On

Traditional Nutrition there is a medical doctor. Native Nutrition

has a few extremely knowledgeable people that may have more

information on this. Maybe I could post this as a question on both

forums, especially Traditional Nutrition for the doctor, if you wish.

If you want me to post it would you be able to email me directly with

what I should write?

You are such a good sleuth Robin.

Luv,

Sounds like your thyroid might be under functioning (yet another Candida

side effect). You can actually have a blood test to check thyroid

function. If its on the low side you go to a compounding pharmacy and

get them to make up desiccated thyroid capsules for you This is made

from an actual thyroid - no chemicals involved. Take one before you get

out of bed.

On the other hand, we are not all born with the same base body

temperature. So whatever you have, might be right for you.

Just a thought

Yes mine bounces around too so I would be interested to find out as well. I

thought I read somewhere that people who have low readings think they have

thyroid problems but sometimes it is the candida that affects the thyroid from

functioning properly.

Is that true to did I get that wrong?

A few months back a few of us discovered we had low body temperature . I

looked into this a bit.

First, I was always 98.6 but when I got sick it dropped a couple degrees and

has stayed that way for years. I feel worse when my temperature is on the

low side.

After our informal survey I decided to take my temperature every morning

for a few months before rising and discovered that, not only was it low but

it was always different. For example, one morning it would be 96.3 and the

next it would be 97. 5 (the highest it ever got) and then very low again

the next morning -- I tried different thermometers and always the same -- my

temperature was really bouncing around.

Anyway, I read somewhere that if one's temperature was low but always about

the same - for example 97.3 every morning -- that meant it was probably a

thyroid disfunction. But if one's temperature was bouncing around -- as mine

was -- it was probably adrenal function. The same article went on to say

that one should address the adrenal function first and you'll know

they're functioning better if you find your temperature to be about the same

each morning . Then once you know what the same number is, you'll have a

better idea about what's wrong (if anything) with the thyroid.

Does anybody know anything about this? I'll try to find where I read it but

I thought that maybe somebody with medical background or other knowledge

could weigh in? ~Robin

Dear Jeanne,

Candida toxins make all body cells rigid instead of flexible like

they should be. Therefore nutrients and hormones cannot get into the

cells where they are needed, and it interferes with the functioning

of all organs like the thyroid, liver, gall bladder, etc., etc.

That makes it very important to hit the candida with a head on

outright assault killing as much as possible in as short a time as

possible. In the meantime a person can do many things to assist the

whole process, like skin brushing, thymus thumping, baths that assist

detoxing like epsom salts or food grade hydrogen peroxide,

electrolyte drinks (1/4 tsp. sea salt and lemon juice in 8 ozs. of

clean warm water), almond milk or egg milk several times a day to

keep nutrients going in, liquid chlorophyll or chlorella, whole herbs

that support the liver, etc., etc. But at the same time the person

must follow the diet.

If you try to kill off the candida and plant probiotics without

following the diet it won't help - you'll relapse quickly, having

wasted your time and money. That is why I recommend you get the diet

down pat first so it is handled prior to starting on antifungals and

probiotics.

Jeanne, this is more information than you asked for but I'm also

clarifying for others.

Take good care my friend,

Luv,

What is thymus thumping?

Hi Jeanne,

I thought I included it in my article, but in checking it looks like

I didn't. Sorry. The thymus is just below the breast bone and it

atrophies (shrinks) and becomes less active as we grow older. To

stimulate it, or wake it up, it is good to thump it every day. Using

your knuckles thump it 10 times in a row (not too hard, but firmly).

It really helps a lot and is so simple to do.

the best,

Bee

P.S. Jeanne, would you please trim your posts (deleting anything

written before that doesn't relate to your current post). TIA. It

really helps people who only receive emails.

Hi all! This is my first post, I just joined the other day. SO SO SO

much great info here!! Thanks Bee for taking the time to help

others. Robin thanks for posting this because I have been struggling

with low temp issues for a while. I've been reading up on it too and

was convinced it was my thyroid (or something affecting my thyroid,

i.e. Candida, etc) but now I wonder about the adrenals. It's so hard

to " figure it out " since everything works together. I know I have

hormonal issues. A quick summary of my health: took birth control

pills for 7.5 years, been off for 3 years; took tetracycline for

acne as a teenager (not sure how long, a few months at least);

abused my body in my younger years (although I am still young, I'm

28) with alcohol, drugs, bad food. I started on my cleansing journey

about 1.5 years ago and have done bowel, parasite, liver, candida,

lymph (skin brushing and rebounding) and dental cleanup. The thing

that really has helped me in which I notice a difference is the

bowel cleansing and lymph cleansing. Overall I would say I am pretty

healthy but I do have some things that are bothering me. One is my

low body temp/hormonal imbalance. I have irregular menstrual cycles

which I have been charting for 3 years now (since I got off the

pill). My temps have gone as low as 96.6 but usually they are

between 96.9 and 97.5. They go higher when I ovulate (usually around

97.7 and higher) and stay up for 2 weeks until I start my period.

Recently I've been seeing a chiropractor and that has really helped

and intrigued me. I just went to a different chiro the other day for

a consultation and he thinks a lot of what I am going through can be

contributed to a misalignment and nerves not getting adequate blood

supply. There are so many things at play it seems and it's hard to

determine which course of action to take. I must admit I am not good

as discipling myself when it comes to eating (although I do eat

pretty healthy). I do crave sweets, mainly chocolate and I love

bread as well. I have cut back dramatically on bread and grains. I

do take various supplements including acidolphilus (but it's got

goat's milk in it or is made from it). I was taking Primal Defense

but decided to take a rest from that. I just started using a

progesterone cream (per the chiro's recommendation) so we'll see how

that goes. It's only been 3 days. I did have a hair analysis done

back in May which I took with me to the chiro because some of my

levels were way off. He seemed concerned and said something's not

right. My calcium and magnesium were really high. My vanadium was

low and strontium was high. So......... that is me in a nutshell.

Anyway, I just wanted to chime in and say something about the low

body temps and introduce myself.

So if it the adrenals that are causing a problem with low temperature how does

one correct it? cleansing? herbs? diet? supplements?

Jeanne

[Guest guest]

Dear Jeanne,

Treating the adrenals is much the same problem as treating the

thyroid because candida toxins cause all cells to become rigid.

Treating them separately is counterproductive because they will

normalize once you overcome the candida. The adrenals or the thyroid

are not the problem, it's the candida that is the problem.

However, some simple things can be done to help your adrenals out as

much as possible while you are curing the candida.

One of the most important things to do for your adrenals is to do

daily " dry skin brushing " - there is a separate article in the files

or links on this.

Vitamin B complex with extra panthothenic acid also supports the

adrenal glands.

Dr. Mercola says you can take adrenal glandulars, DHEA and

pregnenolone but he also says those tend to be natural band-aids that

don't address the reasons the adrenal became impaired. He believes

that emotional or mental stress causes adrenal exhaustion or

impairment, but we know that candida also causes it because it makes

the cells go rigid. Therefore, treating the adrenals directly before

getting rid of candida is like treating a symptom again, which

becomes a vicious circle.

My suggestions would be that you concentrate on getting rid of the

candida overgrowth firstly, as well as doing all you can to avoid and

eliminate stress, and treat your adrenals by:

1) dry skin brushing daily,

2) take a good Vitamin B complex 100 mgs. per day, which is required

for other bodily functions as well, and for regulating blood sugar,

and

4) avoid all caffeine which also exhausts the adrenals.

I hope that helps,

Bee
