it is one of the symptoms of hypo T. having a low temp is also a sign that your

metabolism is slow. but it also can be genetic- that is it can run in families,

where there is no thyroid disease.

treat your thyroid problem; plus lots of exercise with both weight training and

aerobics; and a low fat /moderate protein diet. acupunture also works great with

increasing your metabolism. behavioral modification can also help. plus the 4

rules to lose weight:

.. eat when you are hungry; eat what you want; eat consciously; stop when you are

full.

if your adrenals are whacked out- treat your adrenals with either iodine or thru

natural medicine via herbs and/or acupunture.

I have a metabolism that is in a coma, LOL. so, I speak from experience. the

above suggestions are the same ones as I tell my patients who have hypo T and/or

slow metabolism

peace,

nancie

I have traditionally run a low body temperature, but this winter has been the

first time that

my hands and especially me feet are freezing. The dermatologist says I have

chilblains.

I was dxd with Reynauds maybe 40 years ago, but it hasn't been a problem since

then,

till now, which the derm also says has to do with chilblains. I'm at amy wit's

end with

this. My feet are either so cold they turn red and blue and hurt like crazy,

or if I put

something on them they turn bright red like a lollipot and hurt, and itch and

drive me

crazy too.

it is oblivious that you have no concept of how the human body functions; it is

controlled by genes. every cell in the body is controlled by genes that tells it

how to function cells make up tissues and tissue make up organs and organs make

up organ systems. so the genes which control the cells are telling the thyroid

organ how to work.. maybe you should take a class so that you can learn about

the human body before you go spouting off with insane comments like that.

There are some concepts that are harder for some to grasp than others. Control

of the body

by genes is one of them. Thank you for your always informative posts.

Nancie,

Because you and I and others understand how the body works, a

reference to " genetics " is a statement refering to certain cellular

functioning, BUT in my experience, when many people hear the

phrase " it's genetic " , they think that means it's something that

they inherited from their parent's estate, and just have to live

with. It's a perceptual misunderstanding. For example, a

dermatologist will tell a patient that eczema is a " genetic "

condition, and rx some cream, rather than exploring, for example, a

possible (genetic) GI malfunction. And the patient leaves, thinking

that they got a rash from their mom that can't be controlled because

they are stuck being who they are.

I know for a fact that you are wrong. Alcoholism generally runs in families, and

I personally know families where the problem showed up in multiple generations.

Belief has nothing to do with it. It's the same as not believing your children

will have some of your characteristics. They will, that's all there is to it.

Alcoholism is a rather environmental predisposition than a genetic

disposition.The environment encourages rather then heredity ,in other

I agree that things like that can run in families, however I do not think

genetics is involved. I know there has been alcohol around for a long time,

but what if there was no alcohol? Would there still be a gene for alcohol

abuse?

Have you ever heard of a gene defect? That is when there is a gene with a

defect, and if both parents have the same defective gene, then the child gets

the defective gene too. If only one parent has it, it's possible for a child of

theirs not to have it.

It has nothing to do with heredity, it has to do with what genes the child is

made from. Since all the genes the child gets are from two sources, the mother

and the father, those are the only two places that they can get their genes.

Two copies of a gene means that the child got those copies from both parents

and cannot avoid having the problem, other than never to drink at all.

Haven't you ever wondered why some people can drink and not become addicted

and some people do become addicted.? That is the reason. Again, it has notthing

to do with what you believe. It's a fact.

it is not that it is hard for gracia- it is that she refuses to accept basic

facts concerning how the body functions. she is so against allopathic medicine

that she refuses to accept basic physiology and human biology which the natural

medicine providers all study to become a provider. genetics are the very basic

foundation of how the body works. it is like she forgets that she is made up of

genes and instead is made up from batteries or machine parts that tell her body

how to function. it is ridiculous.

Nancie,

There are some concepts that are harder for some to grasp than others. Control

of the body

by genes is one of them. Thank you for your always informative posts.

how to function cells make up tissues and tissue make up organs and organs make

up organ systems. so the genes which control the cells are telling the thyroid

organ how to work.. maybe you should take a class so that you can learn about

the human body before you go spouting off with insane comments like that.

it is one of the symptoms of hypo T. having a low temp is also a sign that your

metabolism is slow. but it also can be genetic- that is it can run in families,

where there is no thyroid disease.

no, she says that about any time I write about genetics. she just refuses to

believe in genetics which is odd, since genetics are what controls our organs

including the thyroid- so if the genes are faulty then the thyroid doesn't work.

there are so many different substances that can cause the genes to change; the

environment; foods we eat; chemicals we ingest; radiation; chemo; appliances;

high voltage power lines; pesticides; etc.

btw, I wasn't talking about an alcoholic gene- where did that come from? I was

speaking about the fact that low body temps can run in families; which means it

is coded into their genes [ genetics] even without having a thyroid problem. I

saw that during my endocrinology rotations in grad school.

I don't think there is an alcoholic gene sorry. They say there is, but I

doubt it! Gracia was basically saying that if they don't know the cause

they blame genetics. I agree.

alcohol abuse is what lead to the finding that gene. we started looking at the

genetic expression of alcholics and what they found was a genetic code that is

found in the majority of individuals and family members.

it is the same concept as in drug abuse.

I agree that things like that can run in families, however I do not think

genetics is involved. I know there has been alcohol around for a long time,

but what if there was no alcohol? Would there still be a gene for alcohol

abuse?

Subject: Re: Hypothermia and hypothyroidism

I have traditionally run a low body temperature, but this winter has been the

first time that

my hands and especially me feet are freezing. The dermatologist says I have

chilblains.

I was dxd with Reynauds maybe 40 years ago, but it hasn't been a problem since

then,

till now, which the derm also says has to do with chilblains. I'm at amy wit's

end with

this. My feet are either so cold they turn red and blue and hurt like crazy, or

if I put

something on them they turn bright red like a lollipot and hurt, and itch and

drive me

crazy too.

I was backing up what Gracia said. She said, " genetic must be a code word

for we do not know WTF we are doing. " Basically meaning when researchers

are trying to understand a certain " thing, " and they don't understand it,

they blame genes. Didn't know it would get this big discussion.

well, since thyroid disease is from faulty genes aka genetic code, it is

relevant. regardless of the cause of the thyroid disease it all comes down to a

defective gene or genes. some whhere in the genetic genome something caused the

thyroid to go faulty whether it is from an auto-immune trigger or from cancer or

simply a defective code sequence from unknown causes or from family history- it

is the genes that actually cause the problem.

Hahahaha! I bet there is a chocolate gene, since so many people love it. What's

more,

the chocolate gene is much more common in women than men.
