Thyroid disease, both hyperactive and under-active, is so extraordinarily prevalent today that even by conservative estimates it may strike up to 15 percent of the adult population. Women are particularly susceptible, and the disease tends to run in families. A possible reason for the increase in thyroid disease is the high prevalence of auto-immune disease today. Immunity in general is being assaulted by toxic chemicals in food, water, and air. Under-active or hypothyroid conditions can cause low energy.

 

Are you depressed, lethargic, and easily chilled?
Do you gain weight easily?
Do you suffer from chronic fatigue?
Do you have dry skin, hair loss, eczema, or adult acne?
Do you suffer from muscle aches, constipation, and hoarseness?
Do you have PMS or menstrual abnormalities? Is your libido low?
Are your feet and legs swollen and your nails brittle?
Do you get a lot of colds and flu? Low thyroid results in increased vulnerability to infection.
A test may be taken at home to find out if the thyroid is low.
For four days keep a thermometer by your bedside. As soon as you wake up in the morning put the thermometer in your armpit for ten minutes. You must do this before you get up. If you get up first you will not get an accurate reading. If your temperature runs below 97.8 then you most likely have low thyroid. It is important to shake the thermometer after each use.

Some of the common causes of low thyroid, besides inheritance, include: iodine depletion, x-rays or low dose radiation, pituitary and thyroid malfunction, air and environmental pollutants, overuse of diet pills and other drugs, and vitamin A, E, and zinc deficiency.

Diagnosis

Elevated levels of  thyroid stimulating hormone may indicate Hashimoto's thyroiditis. This is related to an under active thyroid. Rarely other problems related to the pituitary or hypothalamus could be the problem.When the thyroid gland loses its balance and becomes overactive, the condition is known as thyrotoxicosis. The person becomes thin, tremulous, overactive, anxious, and experiences widespread symptoms ranging from bulging of the eyes to disruption of the menstrual cycle.
