Hypothyroidism and Your Gut! By Dr. Greg Fors, Board-certied Chiropractic Neurologist Currently more than 27 million Americans, mostly female, suffer with hypothyroidism and nearly half go undiagnosed. Do you feel as though you are hypothyroid? The symptoms of hypothyroidism are fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, depression, digestive problems, sugar cravings and cold hands and feet. Many individuals suffer from hypothyroid symptoms even though their basic thyroid tests (TSH and T4) are “in the normal range”. Additionally, many individuals continue to suffer from these symptoms even while taking Synthroid or levothyroxine medication. If you are suffering with hypothyroidism there is a 90% chance that the underlying cause is an autoimmune disorder called Hashimoto's thyroiditis. With this autoimmune disorder your own immune system slowly kills off the cells of your thyroid. With the destruction of your thyroid cells, eventually you begin to produce lasts thyroid hormone and hypothyroid symptoms develop. The common treatment approach, if the proper tests are run to even diagnosis it, is to provide increasing levels of thyroid hormone as you watch your thyroid destroyed. It makes more sense to me as a doctor to get the underlying cause of this autoimmune activation and properly treat it. This is important because Hashimoto's is a body wide autoimmune disorder in which can cause multiple symptoms and tissue destruction, not just to the thyroid. The Gut-Immune-Thyroid Link Hashimoto's is now the most common autoimmune disorder in the world today. The reasons for this epidemic are multiple. One of the most prominent reasons is altered gut bacteria. Hippocrates said 2,500 years ago: “All disease begins in the gut.” Within a healthy digestive tract there should be over one hundred trillion benecial bacteria. It is a healthy mix of these benecial bacteria in the absence of unwanted microbes; that helps keep your immune system functioning properly. Research is showing that an imbalance in your gut bacteria, called Dysbiosis, is a contributing factor to many chronic and degenerative diseases, partly by causing an imbalance in your immune system function. About 70% of your immune system resides in your gastrointestinal tract and acts as a vital part of your intestinal barrier system. A healthy intestinal lining with healthy bacteria allows only benecial substances and nutrients to be brought into the body for use. It acts as a barrier system to keep unhealthy substances from passing through, including bacteria, yeasts, and their toxins, as well as undigested proteins and fats. This intestinal barrier system is vital because the gut is actually outside the body and traveling through it are multiple foreign substances and microbes that can damage the body. As a result of a poor diet and environmental exposures including many different medications, especially antibiotics, the health of the gut bacteria can become compromised. This damages the protective intestinal barrier of the gut. When the intestinal barrier becomes damaged microscopically it becomes more permeable, often times referred to as “leaky gut syndrome.” With this undigested protein molecules can ‘leak’ into the bloodstream and activate ‘food allergy’ responses. This launch of the immune system through food allergy activation plays a major role in autoimmune diseases including Hashimoto's. Gluten has now been shown to be a primary factor in the activation of Hashimoto's disease. It is advisable that all patients who have elevated thyroid antibodies must be on a diet completely free of gluten or their destruction of their thyroid will continue unabated. Through proper laboratory testing hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis can be identied and properly treated. A comprehensive thyroid testing including the thyroid antibodies is mandatory. Also a Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis to identify any dysbiosis or leaky gut issues needs to be run, along with IgG Food Allergy testing.

► On July 12, 1861, special commissioner Albert Pike completes treaties with the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes, giving the new Confederate States of America several allies in Indian Territory. Many of these tribes had been expelled from the Southern states in the 1830s and 1840s, but still chose to ally themselves with those states during the Civil War.

► On July 8, 1918, author Ernest Hemingway is severely wounded while carrying a companion to safety on the Austro-Italian front during World War I. Hemingway, working as a Red Cross ambulance driver, was decorated for his heroism.

► On July 11, 1979, parts of Skylab, America’s fi rst space station, come crashing down on Australia and into the Indian Ocean fi ve years after the last manned Skylab mission ended. The cylindrical space station was 118 feet tall and weighed 77 tons.

► On July 10, 1985, in Auckland harbor in New Zealand, Greenpeace’s Rainbow Warrior sinks after French agents in diving gear plant a bomb on the hull of the vessel. A British newspaper uncovered evidence of French President Francois Mitterrand’s authorization of the bombing plan.

► On July 15, 1888, the Bandai volcano erupts on the Japanese island of Honshu, killing hundreds and burying many nearby villages in ash. The eruption left an 8,000-foot crater in the earth. In the aftermath, the ash from Bandai dimmed the sun slightly worldwide for months.

► On July 17, 1920, Nils Bohlin, the Swedish engineer and inventor responsible for the three-point lap-and-shoulder seatbelt, is born. Before 1959, only two-point lap belts were available in automobiles, and for the most part, the only people who regularly buckled up were race-car drivers.

► On July 16, 1945, the Manhattan Project comes to an explosive end as the fi rst atom bomb is successfully tested in Alamogordo, N.M. The destructive power was the equivalent of 15,000 to 20,000 tons of TNT. The original $6,000 budget for the Manhattan Project ballooned to a total cost of $2 billion.

► On July 18, 1969, shortly after leaving a party on Chappaquiddick Island, Sen. Edward “Ted” Kennedy of Massachusetts drives an Oldsmobile off a wooden bridge into a tide-swept pond. Kennedy escaped the submerged car, but his passenger, 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne, did not. The senator did not report the fatal car accident for 10 hours.

► On July 20, 1973, the actor and martial-arts expert Bruce Lee dies in Los Angeles at age 32 from a brain edema possibly caused by a reaction to a prescription painkiller. His fi lm, “Enter the Dragon,” was released in the United States one month after his death.

• In the 13th century when explorer Marco Polo returned to his native Italy from his travels in the Far East, he brought home a recipe very similar to our sherbet of today. “Cream Ice” was on the table of England’s King Charles I during the early 1600s. A Parisian café fi rst offered ice cream to the public around 1600. • Ice cream’s fi rst offi cial mention in North America was in a letter from a guest of the governor of Maryland. The New York Gazette featured a confectioner’s advertisement for ice cream in 1777 informing readers that the treat was available “almost every day.” President George Washington was a great lover of ice cream, with records indicating that the chief executive spent $200 on ice cream during the summer of 1790. His personal effects at the time of his death included two pewter ice cream pots. James Madison was another president who was fond of the treat, having it served at his Inaugural Ball in 1813. • America’s fi rst patent for an ice cream cone was issued in 1903 to Italo Marchiony, an Italian immigrant who invented his cone in New York City. The following year the St. Louis World’s Fair featured a vendor selling crisp waffl e pastries, who just happened to have his booth next to an ice cream merchant. When the ice cream booth ran out of dishes, the pasty vendor stepped in, rolling his waffl es into cone shapes. The rest, as they say, is history. Today’s

machines are capable of producing about 150,000 cones every day. • There are a lot of items that are called ice cream, so what’s the difference? Under federal law, ice cream must contain at least 10% milkfat and weigh a minimum of 4.5 lbs. per gallon. “French” ice cream contains that 10% as well as at least 1.4% egg yolk solids. • The world’s fi rst Dairy Queen opened in Joliet, Illinois in 1940, and within 15 years there were 2,600 locations. Estevan, Saskatchewan became home to the fi rst Canadian store in 1953. Canada is also the site of the world’s business Dairy Queen, in Moncton, New Brunswick. Dairy Queen’s success is the result of developing the fi rst formula for soft-serve ice cream, accomplished by John Fremont McCullough in 1938. • Friends since junior high school on Long Island, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfi eld have an enduring friendship. It was Jerry’s ambition to enter med school, but he couldn’t seem to get accepted into any. Ben was admitted to several colleges, but dropped out of all of them. The pair plunked down $5 to purchase a correspondence course on ice cream making from Penn State University. Between the two of them, they had $8,000 in savings, and with the addition of a $4,000 bank loan, they set out on a new business venture. They leased a vacant gas station in Burlington, Vermont, and opened their ice cream parlor in 1978. An old spool and bobbin mill was their next location, where they fi rst began packing their ice cream in pints. Franchises began in 1981, and can now be found in 26 countries around the world. They achieved recognition in

1983 when Ben and Jerry’s ice cream was used to put together the world’s largest ice cream sundae, one weighing 27,102 lbs. (12,293 kg). • The fi rst Coldstone Creamery opened its doors in 1988 in Tempe, Arizona. Just fi fteen years later, the company marked the opening of its 500th store, and four years later there were more than 2,700 locations worldwide. They now operate in 20 countries, including Egypt, Brazil, Dubai, and Cyprus. In Japan, it’s ranked as the #1 place to work. • Reuben Mattus was a Polish-born New York businessman who created the Haagen Dazs ice cream formula in 1959. He devised the Danish-sounding name of the product at his kitchen table, reciting nonsensical words aloud until he found a unique and original name he liked. He wanted it to sound Danish as a tribute to Denmark’s admirable treatment of Jews during World War II. • Brothers-in-law Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins each owned ice cream parlors

in Glendale, California, and following their service in World War II, made the decision to merge their two businesses. Baskin and Robbins was born in 1945 and has grown to more than 6,700 locations around the world. It was their idea that there should be a different fl avor for every day of the month and devised their “31 fl avors” slogan from this concept. Since 1945, the company has introduced more than 1,000 assorted fl avors. The career of Sean “Diddy” Combs got its start in a Baskin-Robbins commercial when he was just two years old.

Extraordinary Uses for Paper Towels Clean silk from fresh corn - If you hate picking the silk off freshly husked ears of corn, then you'll love this paper towel trick. Dampen one and run it across the ear. The towel picks up the silk, and the corn is ready for the boiling pot or the grill.

Keep frozen bread from getting soggy - Here's how to freeze—and thaw—your bread so it tastes just like fresh.

Place a paper towel in the bag of bread before you freeze it. When you’re ready to eat that frozen loaf, the paper towel absorbs the moisture as the bread thaws.

Keep cast-iron pots rust-free - Stop rust from invading your prized collection of cast-iron pots. After they’re clean, place a paper towel in each to absorb any moisture. Store lids separately from the pots, separated by a lining of paper towels.

Test viability of old seeds - You’ve just found a packet of watermelon seeds dated two years ago. Should you bother to plant them or has their shelf life expired? To find out for sure, dampen two paper towels and lay down a few seeds. Cover with

two more dampened paper towels. Over the next two weeks, keep the towels damp and keep checking on the seeds. If most of the seeds sprout, then plant the rest of the batch in the garden.

Clean a sewing machine - After you tune up your sewing machine, don't worry about residual grease harming your sewing project: Use this paper towel trick. Thread the sewing machine and stitch several lines up a paper towel first. That should take care of any residual grease, so you can resume your sewing projects.

Clean a can opener - Have you ever noticed that strange gunk that collects on the cutting wheel of your can opener? You don’t want that in your food. Clean your can opener by “opening” a paper towel. Close the wheel on the edge of a paper towel, close the handles, and turn the crank. The paper towel will clean off the gunk as the wheel cuts through it.

Keep produce fresh longer - Don’t you hate it when you open the vegetable bin in the refrigerator and find last week’s moldy carrots mixed with the now-yellow lettuce? Make your produce last long enough so you can eat it by lining your vegetable bins with paper towels. They absorb the moisture that causes your fruits and vegetables to rot. Makes cleaning up the bin easier too.

Perhaps the fi rst female celebrity athlete in America, sharpshooter Annie Oakley’s abilities were truly astonishing. Let’s take a look at the life of the woman known as “Little Sure Shot.” • The birthplace of Phoebe Ann Moses was a tiny cabin in western Ohio in 1860. With a family of seven children to feed, Phoebe Ann was already trapping birds and small animals at the tender age of fi ve. By age seven, she was using an old muzzle-loading gun of her father’s to bag game.• When Phoebe was six years old, her father was caught in a severe blizzard while driving a team of horses into town. He died shortly afterward of injuries sustained in the brutal weather. • Due to fi nancial poverty, at age 8 Phoebe was sent to board at the county infi rmary, a home for the elderly, orphans, and mentally ill. The superintendent’s wife schooled her and taught her to sew, a skill she used later in life to sew her costumes. The infi rmary found a position for her with a local family, tending their infant for 50 cents a week. However, it wasn’t long before it became apparent that there would be no money and the young girl was subjected to grueling labor, and mental and physical abuse. After virtually being held prisoner for nearly two years, she ran away, making her way to a train depot 20 miles away, where a generous man paid for a ticket home. • Back at home, Phoebe set to work providing for the large family. She began hunting wild game and selling it to restaurants and hotels. By the time she was 15, she had paid off the mortgage on her mother’s house. • A Cincinnati hotel owner who had purchased meat from Phoebe changed her life forever. Jack Frost invited her to participate in a shooting contest where she was pitted against a well-known professional marksman, Frank Butler. In the match, Butler hit 24 out of 25 birds,

but she hit them all. Ten months later the pair married when Phoebe Ann was just 16 years old. • The Butlers settled in Cincinnati and began performing, with Annie

using her stage name for the fi rst time. Stories differ as to where she derived the name Oakley. Some say it was the name of that kind man who had paid her train fare years before, but a more likely

explanation is that she took the name from their neighborhood in Cincinnati. • The couple joined Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show in 1885, and Annie would remain the show’s star attraction for 17 years. Here she met fellow performer, Lakota leader Sitting Bull. The two became friends and the chief nicknamed the 5-ft.-tall (1.5-m) Annie “Little Sure Shot.” She could shoot a dime in mid-air from 90 feet!• Audiences were wowed. She could shoot off the end of a cigarette held in her husband's lips, hit the thin edge of a playing card from 30 paces and shoot distant targets while looking into a mirror. She would also shoot holes through cards thrown into the air before they landed, inspiring the practice of punching holes in a free event ticket being referred to as an "Annie Oakley." Oakley even entertained such royals as Queen Victoria and Kaiser Wilhelm II—and shot a cigarette out of his mouth.• At age 41, Annie was seriously injured in a train wreck that left her temporarily partially paralyzed. Even after fi ve spinal surgeries, she continued to set records. At 62, she sustained critical injuries in an auto accident, but after a 1 ½-year recovery, she was setting records again! But the following year, she was in frail health, and in 1926, Annie died of pernicious anemia. Devastated by grief, her husband of 50 years Frank Butler is said to have stopped eating, and he passed away just 18 days later."Aim at a high mark and you will hit it. No, not the fi rst time, nor the second and maybe not the third. But keep on aiming and keep on shooting for only practice

will make you perfect. Finally, you'll hit the Bull's Eye of Success."

• In 1826, English chemist John Walker was attempting to create a new explosive. Stirring an antimony sulfi de and potassium chlorate-based formula with a wood stick, he noticed a tear-drop shaped glob had dried on the stick's tip.

He scraped the stick against the stone fl oor to remove it and, to his surprise, the stick caught on fi re. • In 1827 Walker began selling "Friction Lights" but he never applied for a patent. They had tips coated with a potassium chloride-antimony sulfi de paste, which ignited when scraped between a fold of sandpaper. They came in a tin, each with a piece of sandpaper.

The user folded this over the match, held it tightly and pulled the splint hard. Walker made little money off the invention and copy-cats soon abounded. There were problems with the matches, however. They ignited with the force of a fi rework and they smelled terrible. • In 1830, French chemist Charles Sauria discovered how to make matches using white phosphorus instead. They didn't smell as bad, they burned longer, and they were less explosive. However, it turned out to be a disastrous development due to the toxic nature of the phosphorus. Inhaling fumes from burnt matches had deadly consequences. When the fumes of white phosphorus are inhaled, or when fi ngers that have contacted phosphorus contact the mouth, or when a drinking glass is used that has been in the presence of phosphorus fumes, the toxin enters the body. A single pack of matches contained enough phosphorus to kill a person. • A French scientist named Georges Lemoine found that red phosphorus was not poisonous. A patent was fi led on this method of matchmaking in 1898. • The Diamond Match Company purchased the patent and then, at the urging of President Taft, made the patent public domain so that all match manufacturers could use the formula without paying royalties.

DIAMOND MATCH COMPANY

• The increasing popularity of smoking coupled with the advent of gas

for lighting and heat caused the demand for matches to skyrocket. Mechanized methods of matchmaking were needed. To solve this diffi culty, the country's largest manufacturers banded together in 1881 to form a single company, The Diamond Match Company. The best features of the machinery that each had developed individually were combined.

MODERN MATCHMAKING

• The machines that turn out Strike-Anywhere matches at the rate of more than 300 a second are about 60 feet long and two stories high. Wooden matches are made out of white pine or aspen wood. It takes an hour for a splint of wood to travel through the factory. • The matchbook became the "best read book in America" and the warning, "Close Cover Before Striking" became the most printed phrase in the history of the printed word. For 40 years, matchbooks were the most popular advertising medium in the nation. • Matchbooks are one of the most popular collectibles in the world. In the U.S. it's the second most popular collecting hobby after stamps. People who collect them are called phillumenists, meaning 'lovers of light.' Today, more book matches are used than any other kind. • The market for matches has declined by some 80 percent since the introduction of the disposable lighter in 1972.

and Herand HerA doctor puts a woman on a diet, telling her to eat normally for two

days, then skip a day, and repeat for two weeks. When she next comes in,

she's lost a lot of weight."I thought I was going to die on the

third day" she said."From Hunger?" the doctor asked.

"No, from all the skipping"

of Himof HimA chicken and an egg are in bed.The chicken is lying back looking happy and smoking a cigarette.The egg grabs the sheet, rolls

over and snaps, "Well, I guess we fi nally answered that question".
