La technique de fabrication du BRONZE à la cire perdue en AFRIQUE.
Articles : How is a Wax Sculpture Made? Sculptures made in any medium have beauty of their own.
Wax sculpture is no exception- it is beautiful too! Wax sculpture, in fact, carries more than one meaning with it. Leaving all behind or something like that. MASTER fr. Virtual Medical History Museum. Wax Models The Faculty of Medicine and Surgery has among its historical holdings a number of wax models depicting a series of anatomical dissections and dermatological conditions.
The origins of the former group have been rather arbitrarily attributed to a donation recorded in 1766. This donation was commented upon by the treasury Commission in a report to the Grandmaster dated 24th April 1766. "We have the honour to report that Anthony Mayer, a Surgeon Major of the Swiss regiment, made a present to the order of nineteen well-made anatomical models in coloured wax and the model of a human body of the same material. These models will help the study of Anatomy during the hot months when dissection is not possible owing to the dangers ensuing from the operating on the dead body in this climate and at that season. We have therefore sent these models to the Hospital, to be placed in the Library. The second group were produced by Maison Tramond - N. Dr. Polymer figure skin painting - Sculpture Community - Sculpture.net. The key to achieving this level of surface hyper-realism (i.e. brought to contemporary sculpture from the film special effects industry via artists like Ron Mueck) is .. matte translucency upon more translucency!
That is, the colour has to almost all come from under the surface, in these cases built up layer-upon-layer in tinted, airbrushed silicone. But you probably know that, if you've looked at the technical clues on sites like these (if they offer them). If they don't, the Smooth-On website offers some guidelines on building up layers of translucent silicones (i.e. LE CORPS PUBLIC : POLITIQUES DE LA REPRÉSENTATION ANATOMIQUE ET DE LA MALADIE » Le Canada a d'incroyables Trésors.

Wax sculpture. A wax sculpture is a sculpture made in wax.
Often these are effigies, usually of a notable individual, but there are also death masks and scenes with many figures, mostly in relief. The cost of making a wax sculpture can be between USD150,000 and 300,000.[3][4] History[edit] Effigies[edit] The display of temporary or permanent effigies in wax and other media of the deceased was a common part of the funeral ceremonies of very important people in European historical times.
Middle Ages[edit] Renaissance[edit] During the Italian Renaissance, modeling in wax took a position of high importance, and it was practised by some of the greatest of the early masters. There are a number of very high quality wax figures from the 16th and 17th centuries, mostly portrait figures and religious or mythological scenes, often with many figures. The famous wax bust attributed to Leonardo da Vinci acquired in 1909 by the Museum of Berlin is the work of an English forger who worked about 1840. De la Cire au Bronze. Cire a modelage.

Poetry – Issue 04 | April 2009
Four poems by Suzanne Parker
The Museum-Goer's Strategy
Don't start with the Madonna
dead on the table.
Start with the hours walking
the cool-draped halls
looking for the open window
to show the rain has stopped
and it is time to go out,
away from the grand relay of art,
triptych to French fowl, head limp
on a platter with a lemon,
a glass of white wine.
Start earlier, the flight
from Newark, plane's ascension,
nails half moons in Lori's hand
and before us, always
before us, the idea
stashed deep in a suitcase
like a flesh-colored dildo
or drugs— Hemingway,
Orwell— snuck in as contraband,
and before this, the Hoshi
on my father's living room wall,
a single tree like a man walking
into a blue, horizontal distance
split into bursts like static
or his bonsais, those
palm-treed islands each
with its own castaway
sunk in the still study
and no one could keep them alive
after his death.
Start sooner with the shock
he spent a summer bullfighting,
learned to plant his feet
and perform the sweeping veronicas
like the opera always playing
in the background, the fierce control,
the huge courage to reach,
stay in place, paint a solitary tree
and I am finally stopped
before Caravaggio's rejected Mary,
the one too gray, too swollen,
too naked. The museum asks
in five languages for its patrons
to leave. Now, it is time to start.

Westminster drops tobacco-ban proposal
"Bowing to a forceful majority of opinion, the [Westminster, Mass.] Board of Health has killed its proposed ban on tobacco sales." [Fitchburg Sentinel and Enterprise, AP ("This is a free country?" sign), Chris Snowdon ("The anti-smokers of Westminster… had to demand prohibition before the townspeople finally realized that they were dealing with prohibitionists"), earlier]
Westminster, Mass., and the well-tended grass roots of tobacco bans
Townspeople came out loudly and in force to oppose the proposed Westminster, Mass. ban on all tobacco sales, and that has thrown advocates back a bit [New York Times, MassLive, earlier]:
"They're just taking away everyday freedoms, little by little," said Nate Johnson, 32, an egg farmer who also works in an auto body shop, as he stood outside the store last week. "This isn't about tobacco, it's about control," he said.
Right he is. And despite the Times reporter's lifted eyebrow at the notion that "outside groups" are encouraging town officials to go forward with the ban, it's worth asking how Westminster, Mass., population 7,400, came to have its very own "tobacco control officer." Do you imagine the townspeople decided to create such a position with local tax funds? If so, read on.
For well over a decade the Massachusetts Municipal Association has run something called the Tobacco Control Technical Assistance Program, assisted by grant money from the state Department of Public Health. It does things like campaign for town-by-town hikes in the tobacco purchase age to 21, and town-by-town bans on tobacco sales in drug stores. It will surprise few that it has been in the thick of the Westminster situation.
This article, written for a friendly audience of public health advocates, frankly describes how the MMA project, with assistance from nonprofit and university groups as well as the state of Massachusetts, worked to break down the reluctance of town health boards to venture into restrictions on tobacco sales (scroll to "Roles of the Massachusetts Tobacco Control Program, Local Boards of Health, and Tobacco Control Advocates");
Local boards were enticed into hiring tobacco control staff by the DPH's tobacco control grants. As a participant in the process explained, "[L]ocal boards of health looked at it as 'oh, it's a grant. Let's apply for this grant. So now, what do we have to do, now that we've got it?'" … The grants dictated that local boards use those community members they had hired as their staff to assist them in enacting and enforcing tobacco control regulations…
The staff paid for with money from outside the town seem to have seen their job as, in part, lobbying the local officials: "We've had to work on each individual board [of health] member to get them to come around," said one.
The account continues with many revealing details of how the outside advisers managed to orchestrate public hearings to minimize critics' voice, deflect challenges with "we'll take that under advisement" rather than actual answers, and in the case of particularly intense opposition, "back off for a couple of months" before returning. "Grant-funded regulatory advocates were able to counter all of [opponents'] arguments and tactics."
In other words, an extra reason for the townspeople of Westminster to be angry is that they have been paying to lobby themselves. And it's worth knowing exactly how the game plan works, because similar ones have been rolled out to localities in various states not only on "tobacco control" but on "food policy," environmental bans and other topics. Grass roots? If so, most carefully cultivated in high places.
Update Nov. 21: board drops plan in face of overwhelming public opposition.
Election open thread
Trial lawyer and inveterate Litigation Lobby booster Bruce Braley lost his Iowa senate bid ("He comes across as arrogant, and I think it's because he is," said an unnamed Democratic official.) Sen. Mark Pryor, chief Senate handler of the awful CPSIA law, lost big.
Massachusetts voters again rejected Martha Coakley, whose prosecutorial decisions we have found so hard to square with the interests of justice. The Wisconsin Blue Fist school of thought, which sees organized government employees as the natural and truly legitimate governing class, met with a rebuff from voters not only in Wisconsin itself but in neighboring Illinois (where Gov. Quinn, of Harris v. Quinn fame, went down to defeat) and elsewhere. Colorado voters rejected GMO labeling, while a similar Oregon bill was trailing narrowly this morning but not with enough votes to call.
California voters rejected Prop 46, to raise MICRA medical liability limits, require database use and impose drug testing of doctors, by a 67-33 margin, and also rejected Prop 45, intensifying insurance regulation, by a 60-40 margin (earlier).
I've written a lot at my Free State Notes blog about the governor's race in my own state of Maryland, and unlike most others was not surprised at Larry Hogan's stunning upset victory. The politics category there includes my letter to Washington Post-reading independents and moderates about why they should feel comfortable electing Hogan as a balance to the state's heavily Democratic legislature, as well as my parody song about what I thought a revealing gaffe by Hogan's opponent, Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown.

[David Boaz, Cato] Hot state-AG races this year include Wisconsin, Nevada, New Mexico, Arkansas [John Fund]

The benefit of liberation from rent control
A new paper estimates that Massachusetts voters' decision to end rent control added $2 billion to the value of Cambridge, Mass. residential housing stock over 10 years. While some of this represents the improved worth of rental property whose value had been artificially suppressed by the previous law, much of it reflects improvements in the value of other, nearby property that had never been under rent control, as increased rates of renovation and improvement made whole neighborhoods more desirable. "In net, our estimates imply that more than half (55 percent) of the capitalized cost of rent control was borne by owners of never-controlled properties, illustrating both the importance of spillovers in housing markets and the potential unintended side effects of price ceilings."

It has been a while since my last post. I am busy doing Hyper-V stuff these days. Trying to grasp the Hyper-V API is one of them...
Anyway, Windows Server 2008 has become available and people are installing Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 on it. Yes, you may think everyone is using Hyper-V beta on Server 2008. But there are still a lot of Virtual Server users out there. Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 is not supported on Windows Server 2008. It will be, but that will be an update to Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1.
Some people reported issues with VMRCplus and accessing Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 on Windows Server 2008. So I had to see for myself if it worked or not.After having performed the required configuration of Windows Firewall, I was able to access the remote Virtual Server host.
My scenario consisted of three Windows Server 2008 machines. 1 DC, one member server with Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 installed, one member server with VMRCplus.I was logged on as a domain administrator. I allowed VMRCplus through Windows Firewall and enabled the 'Remote Administration' exception on both member servers. That was it, I could connect just fine.
Now, you may not want to run as domain administrator but use a regular user account. I tried that too.I logged on to the VMRCplus machine with a regular domain user account (you can do that on Windows Server 2008).But VMRCplus failed connecting to Virtual Server. One reason is that I did not give this account permissions on Virtual Server. So I gave this 'user' account Full Control of Virtual Server (not the host machine, just Virtual Server). It still failed because of insufficient DCOM permissions. So that was easily fixed by setting the proper permissions. I ran dcomcnfg, opened the properties of the computer, selected Edit Limits for 'Launch and Activation Permissions' and added the user account and gave it Remote Launch and Remote Activation permissions.
When using multiple accounts, I suggest using a 'Virtual Server Users' group and give that group the required permissions as outline above. You would then only have to add the user accounts to that group who need access to Virtual Server.
Very helpful post. I was struggling through this eariler this week.
Any news on when the patch for Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 for Server 2008 support will be released? (As in the next few weeks, next few months?)
Somewhere in April.
I'm having issues as are others accessing VMRCplus server on a Server 2008 machine. I can access fine if I shut down the firewall completely. I've searched for the required ports - found 137, 138 udp and tcp, 139, 5900 and 1024. I have tried these and every other one I could find searching google with "Ports VMRCPlus server 2008" still I am unable to connect to the VMRCPLus server from a remote machine - again with the firewall down on the server I can connect. So what did you do when you say ....
"After having performed the required configuration of Windows Firewall, I was able to access the remote Virtual Server host"
Any other ideas? This is a clean install of server 2008. The only thing installed on it is Virtual Server and VMRCPlus. After this problem I have added IIS role.
I have version 220.127.116.11 running on win2k7 x64 home premium. I have hyper-v r2. I have disabled the firewall on my desktop and the server. I want to make sure that I understand that I can only connect to a guest, not to the host? Is that correct? So, if I have a guest that I am building from an ISO image, there is nothing I can do until the machine is built.

Time to Pre-But Falsehoods About Paul Ryan's Budget
Tomorrow House Budget chief Paul Ryan is expected to present a Republican 2012 budget proposal that would reform Medicare and Medicaid and cut $4 trillion from the projected deficit. If the reports are correct, the plan would be a bold step toward fulfilling one of the Republicans' core campaign promises, namely, to address the entitlements crisis.
The reason that reforming entitlements, something everyone knows must be done, requires political boldness is that each side is quick to demagogue the other for proposing cuts to programs that benefit vast amounts of voters. And Democrats have already begun doing just that for Ryan's proposed budget, even though it has not yet been revealed. Here are three Democratic talking points that are likely to be repeated fequently after tomorrow:
1. The "radical" GOP budget would "eliminate Medicare" as Brian Beutler at TPM suggests. If Ryan's plan constitutes the elimination of Medicare, than any reform significant enough to restore the fiscal sustainability of Medicare would also probably qualify as elimination of Medicare.
2. The GOP budget will be "a giant tax hike to make tax cuts for the rich affordable," as was claimed when Ryan's "Roadmap" plan came out. This piece of misinformation was introduced by Citizens for Tax Justice, and as Philip Klein explains, it doesn't apply to the current GOP proposal, but to the Roadmap. Yet even in reference to the Roadmap it was a deceptive study, because it compared the distributive effects of the plan to President Obama's proposals, not to current policy. It shouldn't be shocking that Ryan's plans include lower top marginal tax rates than Obama's.
3. The GOP plan cuts Medicare and Medicaid because "[t]hey think it's politically easy to go after the most vulnerable of the vulnerable," as Rep. Chris Van Hollen, Democratic ranking member of the Budget Committee, warns. The announcement that the budget would include Medicare reform should have put a rest to this particular line of demagoguery, as Medicare benefits people of all income levels and is politically very popular. In fact, by addressing the unsustainability of Medicare, the GOP is running a huge political risk. Furthermore, those two items, Medicare and Medicaid, are the cause of most of the unsustainable future spending increases. The point of the proposal is to put the U.S. on a sustainable fiscal path, and that means reforming government spending on health care. The major entitlement that the GOP budget doesn't change is Social Security. Liberals like Van Hollen have long made the protection of Social Security a priority; would he prefer it if Ryan cut it as well?

This photo provided by Under Armour shows a workout bra by Under Armour. Workout clothes, long relegated to the far end of the closet, are fast becoming a basic wardrobe staple. Everything from neon bras to CrossFit knee socks are becoming hip to wear outside the gym. Spending on activewear is outpacing general spending on clothing: the figure jumped 7 percent between 2013 and 2012 to $31.61 billion, while total clothing spending rose just 2 percent to $200.78 billion.

Tired? Self-Test your Thyroid.
*Editor's Note: This website is not designed to, and should not be construed to, provide medical advice, professional diagnosis, opinion or treatment to you or any other individual, and is not intended as a substitute for medical or professional care and treatment.
A new report from the International Journal of Clinical Practice revealed that the Mayo Clinic's 40-year-old "gold standard thyroid screening test" is flawed, and compromising the adequacy of conventional thyroid treatment (1).
As a result, many thyroid problems and thyroid-related symptoms go undiagnosed or untreated.
Many patients go on thyroid medication, but often, their symptoms don't change! Others are told their thyroid is normal even though they are experiencing symptoms. This may lead to the prescribing of many more unnecessary drugs to address the original symptoms, simply because the flawed test led doctors away from the true cause of the symptoms, and left them looking for answers in other therapies.
Read on and find out:
• If you are suffering from a chronic thyroid condition and don't know it.
• Why you may not be feeling good even if you are on thyroid medication, and what to do next.
Please take my Home Thyroid Self-Assessment Screening and make sure that what is ailing you is not related to a misdiagnosed or undiagnosed thyroid condition.
A Flawed Test.
For the last 40 years, medical doctors have relied on one test to diagnose thyroid troubles: The TSH test. The TSH test measures levels of TSH, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland when it recognizes that thyroid hormones are low, signaling the thyroid to make more thyroid hormones. When TSH levels are high, it's a sign that the thyroid is hypo-, or under, active. Conversely, low or nonexistent levels of TSH point to a hyper, or over-active, thyroid.
Normal TSH Test Results Don't Mean Your Thyroid Is Healthy!
In 2010, according to data dating back 40 years, Dr DS O'Reilly reported that there have been no published studies linking a TSH test result in the normal range to the relief of symptoms in a patient and a normally functioning thyroid(2). In other words, the TSH blood test can be normal but the patient may still have thyroid symptoms, leaving them with an undiagnosed and consequently untreated thyroid problem.
In that same study, 50% of the individuals who took T4 thyroid medication and reported symptomatic relief then had a TSH test that was out of the normal range. In these cases, doctors routinely lower the medication to bring the TSH test back up to normal, at which point many patients re-develop their original hypothyroid symptoms. But with the TSH now back in "normal" range, doctors are reluctant to re- adjust the dose even though the symptoms are re-surfacing.
The important pattern to notice here is:
The results of the TSH test are often not consistent with how the patient is feeling.
Sally: A Case Study
Sally, a patient of mine, was experiencing fatigue, brain fog, constipation and weight gain. With the help of a TSH test, her doctor diagnosed her with hypothyroidism and high cholesterol. She was prescribed thyroid medication and was told that the combination of the thyroid medication along with some dietary changes and exercise would help both the thyroid and the cholesterol.
In a follow-up appointment three months later, the TSH test showed a "normal thyroid." But Sally's cholesterol was still high, and she was still feeling exhausted and constipated and struggling with brain fog, and the weight had not budged. She was still experiencing all these symptoms, even though her thyroid now tested normal.
Her doctor prescribed a Statin drug to lower her cholesterol and Sally was told to retest her thyroid in three months.
Sally was now on two medications and still not feeling any better.
Here's what went wrong: At Sally's follow-up appointment, the TSH test told the doctor that her thyroid was normal even though her symptoms had not cleared. The doctor was treating the blood test, not the patient. In addition her high cholesterol, often the result of an under-active thyroid, was being treated by another drug rather than naturally coming down as the result of a healing thyroid.
Relying on a blood test can often distract doctors from the original question of why symptoms are presenting themselves in the first place.
Home Thyroid Self Assessment Screening
Before blood tests were available, the thyroid was evaluated by basal body temperature and the signs and symptoms presented by the patient. Today these traditional tests have been replaced by modern blood tests. It has now become clear that these blood tests alone will not offer an accurate thyroid diagnosis. Use the Home Thyroid Self Assessment Screening below, along with the thyroid blood tests from your doctor, to get the most precise evaluation of your thyroid.
Step 1: Morning Axillary Temperature Test
Each morning before getting out of bed and before much movement, take your temperature under your arm (in your arm pit). Do this for 5 days and get the average temperature. It should be greater than 97 degrees F. If it is lower and you are experiencing some of the hypothyroid symptoms listed below, you may have sluggish thyroid function. Some digital thermometers are designed to take axillary (underarm) temperature. The old fashioned mercury thermometers also work well (shake down the thermometer before bed the night before, so you move as little as possible before taking your temperature in the morning).
Step 2: Take the following yes-or-no questionnaire.
• Are you fatigued or lethargic compared to how you've typically felt in the past?
• Do you have aversion to or intolerance of cold?
• Does your mind feel foggy?
• Has your memory declined recently?
• Do you have an increased need for sleep?
• Are you experiencing slow and steady weight gain?
• Are you constipated?
• Do you have dry, coarse skin?
• Have the outside thirds of your eyebrows become thinner?
• Are you experiencing hair thinning or hair loss?
• Do you have high cholesterol?
• Is it difficult to get out of bed in the morning?
• Is it difficult to enjoy life because it takes too much energy?
• Do the muscles in your arms and legs cramp for no reason?
• Do your joints hurt?
• Do you find it difficult to concentrate?
• Do you just feel "off" and can't really explain it?
• Are you fingers and toes always cold?
• Are you feeling depressed?
• Do you find yourself cancelling evening or weekend plans regularily because you just don't have the energy?
All of the above are signs and symptoms of a low-functioning thyroid. If you answered "yes" to 5 or more of these questions and your first morning axillary temperature test is below 97 degrees, you may have a thyroid condition.
If This is You.
Have your doctor run a Reverse T3 test. The most common marker for an undiagnosed low thyroid is a test called Reverse T3 (rT3). RT3 hormone is the reverse or opposite of the thyroid hormone T3. When rT3 levels are high it will slow the thyroid and is commonly found in hypothyroism. Most doctors don't run this test so you must ask for it.
Thyroid Dysfunction and Toxic Metals
Interestingly, Dr. Jonathan Wright reported that elevated rT3 levels may be linked to elevated levels of toxic metals. When the toxic metals are removed by oral chelation, the rT3 returns to normal. The thyroid is an extremly chemically sensitive gland and detoxing the thyroid must be considered in the treatment of most thyroid conditions.

How would this affect someone who has had a TT for papillary cancer? I've heard several of my fellow thyroid cancer survivors talking about having TSH levels in the "normal" range after taking synthetic hormones, but still not feeling good. I'm currently going hypo on purpose in prep for RAI next week, so very interested in this subject.
Hi Danielle,
I'm sorry but I have not had experience measuring TSH with patients with papillary cancer.
Be Well,
John Douillard DC
I totally agree with this article! And how happy I am that I am not totally crazy.
I have been taking thyroid hormone replacement since I was 15. So for the last 25 years I have argued over and over with my Endocrinologist that I am not getting relief of symptoma and I do not care what his blood tests are telling him.
My hair falls out, my fingers and toes are cold even when it is 95 degrees outside. I suffer from depression and have never in my life had energy to do much of anything.
When I first started treatment my Doctor told me I would be able to lose weight once my levels were normal, and let me tell you That has NOT happened. Losing weight is so difficult. Diet and exercise do not help, and I get worn out trying to do the work outs.
I am so happy that you published this. My Endocrine Doctor will be getting an earful when I see him next.
why waste your time with an endocrine doctor when an experienced Naturopath could sort you out?

This is only half the information. Which TSH test are you referring to as inadequate and inaccurate? The standard if care is to test TSH 3 and 4. This is an accurate measure of thyroid function. Presenting only half the information in your article is misleading and inaccurate.
I have never heard of TSH 3 and 4. When my doctor tests me, he checks the TSH as well as the (F)T4 and the (F)T3. Are you sure you are not confusing the T's and FT's with the TSH?
for the underarm temp, are you supposed to add .9 degrees, as I' ve heard that is how to get the equivalent number to an oral reading? ….or do you leave the number as-is?
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's hypothyroid a couple of years ago and luckily my Synthroid is working well. But as you write, I am lucky to have a doctor who evaluates based on how I'm FEELING, and not solely on the blood tests. But as to your comment about it being underdiagnosed, I think I probably had these symptoms for 2 years without having any idea that there was something wrong with my thyroid. Lots of people as they get older just think it's normal that they are feeling fatigued and think nothing of it. That was definitely my situation! But now I know there is no reason for us to feel so exhausted and lethargic all the time and with proper diagnosis we can be well-treated and get back to our normal selves. Thanks for sharing!!- Jeannie
Hi there,
If you are reading this letter then chances are that you or someone you love is suffering with the above symptoms. I understand what a frustrating and debilitating impact it can have on every area of your life.
In my work as a Chiropractor and Kinesiologist over the past 10 years I have seen literally thousands of people who are struggling daily with these problems….in fact I would say there is a huge epidemic of undiagnosed thyroid problems (especially hypothyroid, or under-functioning thyroid glands) in our modern Western society. This hidden epidemic is robbing people of their energy, their motivation, their self esteem and their quality of life.
I will right away grasp your rss as I can't find your email subscription hyperlink or e-newsletter service. Do you have any? Please allow me know in order that I could subscribe. Thanks.

If we cannot self-test, I recommend those advance diagnosis program through high resolution imagery that determines lumps or growth of irregular cells found in that area.
Unfortunately, it is very common when thyroid lab tests are normal but a patient still experiences hypothyroid symptoms.
Normal lab test results are relative because normal range varies from lab to lab and is also different in different countries. In US new normal TSH is from 0.3 to 3.0 and was officially suggested in 2002, however many doctors and labs still continue to use outdated numbers.
It is really important to look into the details, know your numbers and make sure that your thyroid labs are optimized for the optimal health.
I had a brain concussion which affected the TRH Stim test which led to hypothyroidism 7 years affter the concussion.
Can the thyroid test be wrongly interprated in the hyperthroidism direction? My wife had none of the symptions of hypothyroidism but L-thyroxine was perscribed because TSH reading was elevated. Three months later her TSH is normal but she has symptons of hyperthroidism. Shouldn't she stop the L-thyroxine?
Look into GAPS diet. That is all.
This doctor just told my story!!!!
My doctor is untrained in thyroid issues, which is why I was undiagnosed for many years (my TSH was always within range- even at the low end! and even though my FT4 was a little under, it didn't "matter" apparently because my TSH was ok). They wanted to treat my high cholesterol and depression with separate drugs, and told me to exercise more. The special endocrinologist they sent me to was the worst- the one who was supposed to understand the thyroid just brushed me off and told me I was fine. I begged and begged my GP for thyroid meds (my dad and half of his 10 siblings were diagnosed hypo), and finally the dr relented. Guess what- my depression went away, my cholesteral improved, my fits of anger, inability to cry, severe intolerance to cold, early staged of carpal tunnel, hair loss, fatigue, and brain fog left me. Even my voice and my skin changed. That sounds so crazy, but it is true, that was all somehow related to my body not receiving the thyroid hormones it needed. I was pretty hypo, thanks to the stupid TSH test showing I was normal.
So I am exactly who this article is describing. Interesting thaT rt3 was mentioned. My doctor won't test me for that- apparently it isn't a worthwhile test, but I suspect it might be one that I should have had before starting my thyroid supplement. If it truly is a metal toxicity problem, then haven't I just fixed the wrong issue? How do I go about removing metal toxins so my thyroid can heal while being on thyroid supplements, can I do that or must I go off of the thyroid meds first?
Good article, but the some of the symptoms are very close to Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome. If you think you have a thyroid problem… Make your dr test.. TSH, T3, T4, rT3, TBG, and anti-TPO. If you think maybe AFS then add… estrogen, testosterone, ACTH, DHEA, sodium, HCI acid, and cortisol (this is more accurate with a saliva test 4x a day). Make sure you get a copy! Do your own research also! If you think an autoimmune, then get an ANA test done also!
Very beautiful record. You taste a batch of information in this admit . You army is absolutely very helpful alongside informative. Hold writing. Assents a numerous for sharing this.
I answered yes to every question. This is very bad.
So…. if thyroid medication is not doing the job…. which is the right method to correct hypothyroidism???
Thyroid issues are very common in the US but please don't try to self-diagnose. Many of these symptoms can occur with both under and over active thyroid. If you are guessing you have Hashimoto's (autoimmune hypothyroidism, very common) and up your thyroid hormone you could end up doing serious harm if what you really have is Graves Disease (autoimmune hypERthyroidism). Some people swing between both. Get yourself properly tested not just for TSH but also t3 and t4 as well as testing for antibodies that would indicate an autoimmune condition which does have serious implications. Get regular blood tests. Make your dietary changes based on what's really going on. Don't just guess according to symptoms.
I was just diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease last year at Mayo Clinic after having symptoms for 20 years. They never looked for Hashimoto's because my TSH was always in normal levels. My health went downhill about 6 years ago and my doctors could not figure out what was wrong with me. Although I am feeling better I am still symptomatic. I write about my struggles at http://toughtriciabraveb.wordpress.com. Maybe some of you can relate.
what's so new about this? Australian Naturopaths have been doing this for years. OH! of course it's written by a dr so now ithe info wlll travel fast!
The data moreover the similarity were reasonable staggering. I envision that your point of view is overwhelming, its moral well personality away also genuinely dumbfounding to understand someone who encounters how to put these contemplations so well. Getting work!
Hello! I have had the diagnosis of M.E./CFS for two years now, but recently read about the sign of 'hair loss on outer third of eyebrows' being a symptom of possible thyroid issue, so reasearching further. I also fit many of the other symptoms.
However, I initially had many many blood tests and discussions taken and all came back normal (apparently). I am keen to ask for specific blood tests now to check, but am starting to feel better due to nutritional changes.
Am feeling a bit lost as to what to think now? Could it be a thyroid issue on top of M.E? Or perhaps that's what's been causing the fatigue and brain fog!! ??????
correct one
