Hi, this is Larry Hobbs @ FatNews.com. fatnews.com larryhobbs@fatnews.com This is from Mark Starr, MD’s book Hypothyroidism Type 2: The Epidemic. Dr. [Broda] Barnes believe diabetes was due in large part to hypothyroidism, Dr. Starr wrote (p. 41). almost all the complications from diabetes are due to hardening of the arteries or atherosclerosis. (p. 42) These complications include blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, gangrene, and nerve damage. (p. 42) Diabetics suffer accelerated atherosclerosis identical to that associated with hypothyroidism. (p. 42) new cases of diabetes were very rare among Dr. [Broda] Barnes patients being treated for hypothyroidism. (p. 42) a significant number of patients with diabetes sought [Dr. Broda Barnes] help. (p. 42) After many years of practice, [Dr. Barnes] realized that NONE of his patients with diabetes had developed ANY of the typical or more advanced complications from their illness. (p. 42) This had previously been reported in 1954 by Crosby D. Eaton, MD, but ignored. Dr. Eaton had written a paper titled Coexistence of Hypothyroidism with Diabetes Mellitus (1954). The study included several hundred diabetic patients of all ages who were treated for years, Dr. Starr continues (p. 42). Dr. Eaton realize the vast majority of his diabetic patients also suffered hypothyroidism. (p. 42) [Dr. Eaton] administered desiccated thyroid hormones with no adverse effects upon their diabetic control. (p. 42) [Dr. Eaton] reported a vastly …

Hi: I have an elderly family member who claims to not feel hungry much, usually only eats 2 large meals or 3 smaller meals every day. We went out for dinner and had a large meal; he felt so tired when we went home, he fell asleep for about 10-11 hours.

We have Krohn’s disease, diabetes, and thyroid disease in our family history - is there any chance that my family member may have any of these disorders based on the food behavior? Or is this common amongst elderly folks?

Thanks for the help.

Sorry if the title is a bit confusing.
After doing some research on both of the thyroid issues, I have a question.
My father was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid - he gained a ton of weight and had the ucky swelling in his neck. His doctor warned him that I have a high chance of getting it, as it is hereditary and common in women.
I don’t know if/when I will get it, as I don’t know when it often occurs.
HOWEVER, I feel like I have been developing symptoms of an overactive thyroid - I am 120lbs and have been for at least 8 years, but lately my weight has been dropping a bit and then rising again even though I am always always hungry and I eat like a pig (seriously I’m not kidding). I’ve also developed some pretty severe anxiety in which I have a hard time breathing (I get anxiety attacks over everything), plus I am always tired and sore in my muscles - I find a am going to the bathroom more.
Now, I don’t meet a lot of the requirements of an overactive thryoid, but my question is - even though I am more likely to get an underactive thyroid genetically - is it still likely for me to have an overactive thyroid developed from a disruptive pituitary gland or thyroid gland?
My question, as clearly as I can state it, is BECAUSE my father had a thryoid malfunction (or pituitary gland I’m not sure) I am also prone to such a malfunction - but as it is hereditary, am I more prone to get the same thryoid issue he has, or can I develop the opposite of his (which would be an overactive thyroid) from the same malfunctioning genetic?
I was told you need a perscription to keep an underactive/overactive thryoid under control.
Nowhere did I state anything about diabetes? I am not dizzy - many people in my family are diabetic and I know what the symptoms are … thanks anyway? :S

My mom is 72 yrs old. On Nov 27 of last year her GP sent her to a thyroid specialist and was told that she should take this nuclear medicine RAI Pill to kill her thyroid and once that was done, they would put her on thyroid pills to control her thyroid. Since taking this RAI pill her BP and Diabetes is totally out of wack ! Her BP has gone up 218/90 . The doctor put her on Norvasc and the diabetes specialist put her on topazole. Her BP seems to be getting better but her diabetes is still bad. She started getting a really bad rash since this weekend, and her GP told her to stop taking the 4 pills of topazole for a couple of days until she gets to see her thyroid specialist next monday. My mom had her BP and
diabetes under control before taking this RAI pill. She thought she was going for a routine thyroid check up. Why are we not getting any answers from her doctors? Her GP said that he is not responsible for medication given to her from the other doctors. What is going on ?

1.How is the action of a hormone similar to that of a nerve?
Because they both bring about responses
Because they are both delivered through the blood system
Because they are both issued from parts of the brain
Because they are both essential in puberty

2: What is diabetes and how is it treated?
The pancreas does not supply enough insulin and excessive amounts of sugar collect in the blood. It is treated by controlling diet and injecting extra insulin into the blood.

The thyroid gland is overactive and can cause weight-loss, irritability, and protrusion of the eyes. It is controlled through various medical procedures to reduce levels of thyroxin.

The pancreas produces too much insulin and breaks down the sugar in the blood too fast. It is treated by controlled diet and injecting insulin-suppressors into the blood.

The thyroid gland is under-active and people tend to become obese and slow in reactions. It is controlled by diet and injections of thyroxin.
