This is from Mark Starr, MD's book Hypothyroidism Type 2: The Epidemic.

Dr. Starr also notes that that desiccated thyroid (Armour) is much more effective than synthetic thyroid hormones.

Here is what he wrote on page 164.

A recent book by Sanford Siegal, DO, MD, entitled Is Your Thyroid Making You Fat lends additional credence to the thyroid epidemic.

Dr. Siegal specialized in weight loss.

He... asked if I would be... on his referral list... because I was one of only several hundred doctors who prescribed the medication.

In over 40 years of practice, Dr. Siegal found in treating thousands of patients that desiccated thyroid (Armour) was much more effective than synthetic thyroid hormones.

Dr. Zondek also reported the superior efficacy of desiccated thyroid over synthetic thyroid hormone in the treatment of the obese form of hypothyroidism in his 1926 textbook, Diseases of the Endocrine Glands.

He had not changed his opinion by the time the forth edition was published in 1944.

My research shows that many chronic illnesses including heart disease, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, mental illnesses, Alzheimer's disease, and the explosion of childhood illnesses are largely attributable to Type 2 hypothyroidism.

Type 1 Hypothyroidism is defined as failure of the thyroid gland to produce sufficient amounts of necessary to maintain normal blood levels of those hormones and normal blood levels of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).

Type 2 Hypothyroidism is defined as [a] resistance to thyroid hormones at the cellular level.

[In Type 2 hypothyroidism,] Normal amounts of thyroid hormones and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) are detected by the blood tests therefore, blood tests do not detect Type 2 hypothyroidism.

Quotes about Dr. Starrs book.

I believe everyone needs to review Mark Starrs book.
Dr. Garry Gordon
Co-Founder of the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM)

He has a vital message to share about the many people who do not realize they have low thyroid, because standard thyroid tests do not show it.
Dr. Garry Gordon

Mark Starrs dedication to research, and his devoted study with the old masters, have made him an international expert on thyroid and iodine.
Dr. Garry Gordon

This is an astonishing book revealing the cause and successful treatment for obesity, heart attacks, depression, diabetes, strokes, headaches, chronic fatigue and many more. His in-depth research and discussion of how environmental toxins can interfere with thyroid hormones is groundbreaking and enlightening for us all.

Robban Sica, MD

This is the most significant compilation of medical research ever published in the area of hypothyroidism.

Over a century of irrefutable scientific evidence is presented in a concise and readable format for laypeople and doctors alike.

Lab tests are not used to detect Type 2 Hypothyroidism.

Mark Starr, MD defines Type 2 Hypothyroidism as someone whose symptoms indicate hypothyroidism, but their lab tests are normal.

He then tries them on desiccated thyroid (Armour thyroid) and if their symptoms resolve, then he knows that that was the problem.

Dr. Starr says this happened to him.

His lab tests were normal, but he felt tired, muscles ached, and felt awful which all resolved after taking desiccated thyroid.

[mmrei2009]

Doc prescribed Armorthyroid. Do these labs indicate Type II hypothyroidism? Labs taken on day 15 of menses:

•TSH+T4+T3F (Result: 1.660 uIU/ml)(Reference range: .450-4.500 uIU/ml)

•thyroxine T4 (Result: 7.0 ug/dL)(Reference range: 4.5-12.0 ug/dL)

•triodothyronine, free, serum (Result: 2.7 pg/mL)(Reference range: 2.0-4.4 pg/mL)

•Thyroxine T4, Free, direct, S (Result: 1.09 ng/dL)(Reference range: .82-1.77 ng/dL)

•reverse T3 (Result: 199 pg/mL)(Reference range: 90-350 pg/mL)
