http://fatnews.com/ Hi, this is Larry Hobbs @ FatNews.com.
Thyroid expert, Broda Barnes, MD, PhD found that heart attacks increased in Graz, Austria from one in 125 to one in 14 after antibiotics were introduced which prevented early deaths from tuberculosis, Mark Starr, MD notes in this audio clip.
After analyzing 70,000 autopsies, Barnes also noted that prior to 1945 when antibiotics were introduced, people dying of tuberculosis had advanced atherosclerosis in their coronary arteries. After the introduction of antibiotics which prevented these deaths, deaths from heart attacks increased nearly 9-fold, from one in 125 deaths, to one in 14 deaths.
Barnes also found that those dying of heart attacks, had evidence that they had had tuberculosis in their lungs.
He then realized that hypothyroidism was the cause of both conditions.
He also found that deaths from various cancers and emphysema increased 3-fold or more, suggesting to Barnes that hypothyroidism increases the risk of cancer and emphysema, and that treated people with desiccated thyroid might reduce the risk.
(In a speech Barnes gave, he noted that cancer deaths in his patients treated with desiccated thyroid were about half the national average in the U.S.)
Here is a short audio clip of Dr. Starr talking about this in a speech he gave at a 2007 Orthomolecular Conference.
Broda Barnes MD PhD obtain a Masters [degree] in biochemistry at Case Western [University] in 1928...
[He got] his PhD from the University in Chicago... in physiology of the thyroid gland in 1930.
He taught endocrinology there and... taught medical students before he became an endocrinologist.
There is a research foundation in his name.

He travelled to Graz, Austria.
His patients [ on natural desiccated thyroid ] were not suffering heart attacks.
He knew from his research that accelerated atherosclerosis was one of the main symptoms of low thyroid.
In the mid-1900's, heart attacks [ increased, but ] his patients were not having them.
In Graz, Austria... a queen in the late 1800's mandated that everyone [ who died in the hospital in Graz ] have an autopsy.
Since that time, about 75% of deaths have been autopsied...
Broda Barnes was keen on autopsies... because they are pretty hard to refute.
He studied 70,000 consecutive autopsies [ in Graz, Austria. ]
He travelled over there every summer for [ about ] 18 summers.
After 70,000 autopsy reviews, he and the head pathologist, Dr. Ratzenhofer, published a paper, that I would urge everyone to read...
"The role of natural consequences and the changing death patterns."
It was in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Association published in 1974.
Barnes BO, Ratzenhofer M, Gisi R. The role of natural consequences in the changing death patterns. J Am Geriatr Soc. 1974 Apr;22(4):176-9.
Most of these changes came after 1945.
In a little more than 25 years, in Graz, [ Austria ],
heart attacks went from 1 in 125 [ deaths ], to 1 in 14 [ deaths ]
after the introduction of antibiotics and [ anti-tuberculosis drugs ].
Emphysema climbed 370%
Prostate cancer [ increased ] 361%
Cancer in children [ increased ] 349%
Lung cancer [ increased ] 300%
The people who used to get [ tuberculosis ] were over 20 times more likely to develop lung cancer than those who were not carriers of [ tuberculosis ].
Deaths from infections decreased by 56%...
Deaths from malignancies increased 27%.
Deaths from degenerative diseases increased 44%.
Deaths from accidents also went up.
I would propose that the Austrians weren't eating [ McDonald's ] Big Macs and drinking tons of Coca Cola back then.
This is NOT a phenomenon of diet [ but rather a problem of hypothyroidism. ]
During World War II, the rate of tuberculosis went way up... in Graz, [ Austria ].
The number of heart attacks went down. The rate of [ tuberculosis ] did not go up in the United States. The rate of heart attacks did not go down. The rate of [ tuberculosis ] went up slightly in London. The rate of heart attacks went up slightly.
The autopsies showed that people who were dying of tuberculosis during that time had grade 4 atherosclerosis of their coronary arteries.
After they introduced the anti-tuberculosis drugs and antibiotics... 4 years later [ after these drugs were introduced ], people who were dying of heart attacks, had [ tuberculosis ] in their lungs.
This is monumental work that has been buried.

Average Dose of desiccated thyroid is 3 to 3.5 grains; will supress TSH, Mark Starr, MDby larryshobbs1,196 views
@TheOutThereSomewhere Thank you. I agree -- interesting.
