Broda Otto Barnes var en hengiven læge, som brugte hele sit liv på at opklare hypothyreosens gåde og jeg må erkende, at på trods af, at han var født i 1904 og forlod denne jammerdal i 1988 - var han nået enormt meget længere mod gådens løsning, end de fleste af nulevende læger, der kalder dem selv for endokrinologer.

Hans bøger kan man stole på "med lukkede øjne". God anbefaling!

Egentlig underligt, at der er så langt mellem den slags bøger oversat til "skandinavisk" f.eks. norsk. Norsk kan læses af danskere og svenskere, og på denne måde er der pludselig et marked, der er meget større end hvis man oversatte bøgerne til hvert sprog for sig, på et lille sprogområde. Gid et par ordentlige bogforlag kunne finde ud af det og udgive gode bøger til nordmænd. svenskere og danskere i fælleskab (finner og islændinge og færinger med, da alle kan de mindst et andet skandinavisk sprog).

A Personal Message to the Reader

FORTY PERCENT of the American people - four of every ten children and adults - today åre suffering needlessly and many åre dying for lack of an ingredient vital for health.

Is the ingredient unknown? No. Or unavailable? No.

For years, medicine has recognized the role of the deficiency in some areas of health and disease and has had clues to its great importance in many other areas.

But the knowledge too often has not been used -and still is not being used - because of the unreliablity of laboratory tests that have failed to show the deficiency even when doctors could see its manifestations clearly enough in patients before them. And while laboratory tests have erred and have misled both doctors and patients, patients have suffered.

After spending 35 years of a medical career with the problem and with thousands of patients who have had it - and with learning from my own and from the studies of others how the problem can be recognized readily and then treated easily, effectively, and inexpensively - my purpose in writing this book is to alert you and as many others as I can reach so that a powerful but largely unused weapon for many of our ills will no longer be overlooked.

Broda O. Barnes, M.D., Ph.D.

Dr. Barnes passed away on November l, 1988, at age 82. His work transformed the lives of many of his patients. People who had suffered for years and spent large sums of money on treatment were finally able to find relief with the simple, effective methods advocated by Dr. Barnes. With his second wife Helen, he established the Broda O. Barnes, M.D. Research Foundation to continue his research. It exists today as a resource for the general public as well as medical professionals. To obtain additional information, please contact the foundation at the address below.

FORTY PERCENT of the American people -
four of every ten children and adults -
today åre suffering needlessly and many åre dying for lack of an ingredient vital for health.

Is the ingredient unknown? No. Or unavailable? No.

..

Mener han at 40% av alle amerikanere har stoffskifteproblemer..?

Isåfall er det nesten like vanlig og ha problemer med stoffskiftet - som ikke!

Ei venninne av meg sier hun mente for mange år siden at jeg hadde lavt stoffskifte -
og at hun sa det til meg (noe jag ikke kan huske at hun gjorde..
Jeg mener nå at hun har lavt stoffskifte - men hun er uinterresert i og snakke om det;
jeg antar at det er fordi:
1. Hun har hatt så mye sykdom i livet at hun ikke vil snakke om mulighetten for flere..
2. Hun vil ikke identifisere seg med de symptomene som kjennetegner lavt stoffskifte

Den siste antar jeg fordi jeg selv nok var der leeenge!
Når man gjennom barn- og ungdommen har såkalt "høy forbrennng";
og samme hva man spiser så forblir man en "skjæravinge" (dvs svært tynn - vond og ha på fanget ;).

Så det at jeg mellom 30 og 40 la på meg laaangt mer enn ønskelig og også mistet alt av tiltak, etcetera, etcetera -
så klarte jeg alikevel ikke og ta til meg at jeg skulle ha (les: være) noe så usexy som lavt stoffskifte..

Så når det i tillegg er slik at leger flest heller ikke ser sykdomstegnene... så "hvem skal hjelpe knøttet"

[Vigdis]

Det der med å være tynn, så tynn at det var stygt, gjenkjenner jeg Kevlin. Og glupsk sulten. Det var ingen andre som hadde så stor matpakke som meg da jeg studerte. Jeg tror jeg har hatt lavt stoffskifte i mange år før jeg ble diagnostisert

[Kevlin]

Takk for svar
Da kan det vel gjerne være at den reelle prosentandelen ligger like høyt i Norge -
iallefall høyere enn de 5% (kvinner..) som norske leger (fremdeles..?) antar
For det er vel opplest og vedtatt at dette fortrinnsvis er en sykdom kvinner får
