Below is a list of everyday symptoms which, when combined with an easy at-home temperature test, almost certainly indicates low thyroid function. If a customer confirms at least half of the list and has low body temperature, then do suggest a remedy like Thyroid Support (but don’t diagnose them).

Symptoms

1. Feeling unduly chilly all the time
2. Excessive lethargy
3. Inability to lose weight (you can look rather than ask about it!)
4. Low mood
5. Sluggish bowel
6. Muscle aches & pains
7. Always a ‘niggly’ throat, as if about to get a sore thoat
8. Memory loss
9. Brittle and thinning hair and nails
10. Low libido

The ‘at home’ temperature test

1. Perform the test on the first, second and third day of your period (anytime if past the menopause) as hormones, which can influence body temperature and thyroid function are rock steady at this time
2. Perform the test before getting out of bed, with the duvet still on.
3. On each morning, put the thermometer under the arm for a minute
4. Average out the results for the 3 mornings

If the average is in the 35s or 36s°C and you have a good half the symptoms or more, you may well have a sluggish thyroid.

Moducare and the thyroid gland

The most common causes of thyroid diseases are autoimmune.

Hypothyroidisms is usually caused by antibodies attacking the healthy thyroid gland tissue therefore damaging and inhibiting its ability to secrete useful thyroid hormone. On the other hand hyperthyroidism or over active thyroid gland, caused by the strangest of autoimmune pathologies. It seems counter intuitive that hyperthyroid is caused by an over active (self destructive aspect) immune system, Indeed in hyperthyroidism the immune system antibodies become clones of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and therefore agonise the same receptors. the thyroid gland in this instance can over secrete its hormonal output. Causing symptoms associated with excessive thyroid function.

I use Moducare in a supplement and dietary plan as the sterols contained with it help to modulate the over active immune system and maintain it at a healthy level. It is interesting to note that sterols are some called oil unsaponafiables. In fact avocado unsaponafiables are known to reduce joint arthritis.

Dietary advice

Firstly, lots of Kelp only works if the person prepares all their food from scratch. Processed food is full of iodine in the form of potassium iodide (as found in multivitamins). If someone does seem to have the perfect diet though, add a Kelp supplement in.

Second, although cooking destroys the effect in these foods, Soya, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Lima beans, Pearl barley and Millet are all ‘goitrogenic’ foods that contain thyroid hormone inhibitors when fresh or lightly cooked. Best avoided.

Thyroid Support Formula can be taken alongside Thyroxin due to the low iodine content, to combat the return of symptoms after the GP has reduced the initial dose.

As autoimmunity is a cause of thyroid dysfunction, you may want to take a celiac test to make sure that the same immune over activity has triggered a gluten intolerance. Remember celiacs disease is one whereby the body produce anti bodies against gliadin protein traces found in gluten.

It is probably the same case for the graduate as he or she is faced with so much pressure to find a good job so as to earn a living. They want to achieve self improvement. The process of searching for work is normally stressful because there is a very few number of graduate jobs available.

To help graduate employers get the exact skills they are looking for when recruiting future employees, they can advertise the job they are offering on well known websites that assist to bridge the gap between the job givers and job seekers. This will be easier for the employer as all he needs to do is go to the website and contact those candidates that likely meet the qualifications he is seeking and invite them for an interview.

Another successful way to scout for employees is for the employer to organize fairs at various universities and get in touch with those students who are interested in working for their respective companies. This way, he lets the potential employees know what the organization is looking for in an employee.

A graduate employer can also offer internships to students when they are on break. This is one of the sure ways for any employer to prepare a potential employee. Most students will be more inclined to approach the employer who offered them an internship first when they are looking for a job after graduating. This cuts down the cost for most employers as the employee was trained at internship and will perform the job better than a new employee.

Once the employer has recruited new graduate employees, they should offer incentives to their employees so that the turnover rate is reduced otherwise the company will be conducting interviews every so often costing it highly. Incentives such as a good salary and bonuses as well as recognition for good work done will ensure they don’t leave as soon as they are employed.

The recruiting process for every organization should be so thorough such that the employer gets the right person for the job. The graduate employer should cross check the graduate’s qualifications and all the references as well as their background. This will save on time and determine which candidate is the best for the job. It is better to do good research rather than incur costs because the employee does not perform as per the skill they claim to have.

It is therefore the responsibility of the graduates to prepare themselves well for the graduate jobs they hope to find. It is also important for the graduate employers to arm themselves with the above tips to ease their job on recruiting.

The invitation-only event will be held on 23rd and 24th January 2012 at the company’s HQ in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. The EMS Healthcare team will be showcasing the company’s new Liberty Quad medical vehicle, one of which is already being used to provide vital community-based dialysis treatment to patients in North Wales.

It is important to stress, that these shakes are not just for anyone but in the right circumstances are thought to be helpful for people on certain diets, for example those who may be dieting and not getting enough protein from the things they naturally eat and drink.

Protein shakes are also closely associated with those on the bodybuilding circuit and others that train or work out regularly and these protein supplements are thought to help with the maintenance of lots of muscle mass.

It is also known that many athletes enjoy a favourite protein shake before a sporting or athletic event, providing in many cases a much needed energy boost when about to perform.

Many available shakes also contain other valuable vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron and fibre and it is clear to see that they encourage healthy living in tandem with good exercise and good food.

There is usually a protein shake to suit each and every taste palette. Something traditional such as strawberry, banana or vanilla or the more adventurous can create their own flavours to go hand in hand with the approaching energy boost!

When nature provides everything that our bodies need for great looking skin many people are questioning why we should need to risk using synthetic chemicals at all and are looking for natural alternatives. This is not turning our backs on science, rather it is learning from our deeper understanding of how complex our skin’s eco-systems are in the same way that we are understanding how complex soils are and how the entire eco-system of the soil helps to keep a plant healthy. Instead of poisoning our soils and our bodies we can learn from science and take care of our planet and our bodies.

Now that organic methods of horticulture are becoming widely accepted as being the most natural way of growing plants and keeping them healthy then more and more organic skin care products are finding their way to market. Why not try them on your skin?

So which came first, the disease or the deficiency? It is not clear whether these diseases contribute to deficiencies or whether insufficient dietary intakes of these essential nutrients lead to the onset and deterioration associated with these diseases.

Statistics confirm that Americans have the lowest intake of essential omega-3 fatty acids of any developed country. DHA, the omega-3 that is present in every cell membrane of the human body and highly concentrated in the brain, retina of the eye and the heart, is vital to good health.

According to Dr. Barbara Levine of Weill Cornell Medical College, “Increasing the intake of omega-3 fatty acids, including DHA and EPA, has been clinically shown to reduce severity of these diseases, so that patients are often able to reduce or eliminate medications that have serious adverse reactions.”

Patients diagnosed with these diseases require medical attention. For example, rheumatoid arthritis patients and diabetics are often at greater risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

The increased risk of heart disease in these patients is linked to an increase in homocysteine levels, which is a risk factor for heart disease and other disease states. Homocysteine is a substance in the body that can be measured by a physician and may help predict potential disease.

The good news is that many people are using an increased dietary intake of folic acid, vitamins B6 and B12 to lower elevated homocysteine levels.

A combination product is being prescribed by many physicians to address the deficiencies associated with these diseases.

Animi-3 is considered to be a valuable addition to the treatment regimen of these diseases. Doctors have referred to it as the ideal combination of ingredients. The prescription-only product contains specially formulated and highly refined DHA-dominant omega-3, folic acid, B6 and B12.

If you’ve been diagnosed with one of these diseases, you may want to talk with your doctor about your possible deficiencies, risk factors and Animi-3.

Statistics show Americans have the lowest intake of DHA in their diets.

Eventually, decreased absorption of nutrients (malabsorption) can cause vitamin deficiencies that deprive your brain, peripheral nervous system, bones, liver and other organs of vital nourishment, which can lead to other illnesses. This is especially serious in children, who need proper nutrition to develop and grow. Many who suffer celiac disease also develop related vitamin and mineral defeciency related dieases.

Also known as celiac sprue, celiac disease occurs in people who have a susceptibility to gluten intolerance. Although celiac disease affects people of all races, it is most prevalent in those of white European ancestry. It also affects women to a greater extent than me. Celiac disease has been around as long as man has eaten wheat and other grains containing the protein, but it has only been in the last 50 years that researchers have gained a better understanding of the condition and how to treat it.

No treatment can cure celiac disease. However, you can effectively manage celiac disease through the elimination of gluten products from your diet.

People with Medicare can start saving money by enrolling in the government’s prescription drug plan, and with open enrollment running through May 15, 2006, there is still time to save.

“This is the most significant change to Medicare since the program’s inception, and it will offer people with Medicare more choices than ever before,” said Scott Latimer, M.D., Central and North Florida Market President for Senior Products at Humana, one of the nation’s leading private sector Medicare insurers. “In order to select the plan that best meets their needs, beneficiaries will need to carefully evaluate their options prior to enrolling.”

When choosing a plan, people with Medicare and their family members and friends involved in the process need to factor three areas into their decision: affordable cost, plan coverage of required drugs and services and ease of obtaining medications.

Cost

While some plans have a monthly premium, there are Medicare Advantage plans that provide Parts A and B medical coverage and include Part D drug coverage as a built-in benefit without an additional monthly premium cost.

Plans also have varying coverage of the coverage gap, which is commonly referred to as the “doughnut hole.” Some plans offer more choices than others, including $0 deductible options, varying co-payment levels and possibly generic drug coverage through the gap.

Additionally, people with Medicare will also pay part of the cost for prescriptions, which varies depending on the drug plan chosen.

Coverage

Each Medicare drug plan has a list of the prescription drugs it covers. When comparing plans, beneficiaries need to find plans that cover all or most of the drugs they take. Many plans may also offer lower-cost generics.

Of course, insurance plans can change the list of drugs they cover. Companies must provide at least 60 days’ notice before making a coverage change. Beneficiaries can then evaluate other options and speak to their doctors about the possibility of switching to an alternate drug that is on the plan or to a generic medication.

Convenience

All private insurers offering prescription drug coverage have pharmacy networks. These include both national pharmacies such as Wal-Mart, Rite Aid and CVS and non-chain independent pharmacies. Mail-order drug delivery services may also be an option, and may be particularly beneficial for people who take multiple medications daily.

People should speak with their pharmacist about the plan they are considering. It is important to know if that pharmacy will be part of that preferred network.

Web-based tools can help calculate prescription drug costs by plan, determine all out-of-pocket costs and even allow online enrollment.
