Hypothyroidism increases the risk of cancer according to Broda Barnes, MD, PhD, someone who studied thyroid for more than 50 years.

He also notes that in his patients on desiccated thyroid, the incidence of cancer was about half that of the national average.

This one-minute audio clip is from from a speech he gave called “The Importance of Thyroid Therapy in Preventive Medicine”. The text of the audio clip is below.

“Graz, Austria… where we worked for so long, has the highest incidence of cancer… in the world. They are [all] low thyroid,” Broda Barnes, MD, PhD notes in this audio clip from a speech he gave called “The Importance of Thyroid Therapy in Preventive Medicine”.

“... among our patients [on desiccated thyroid] over the last 30 years where we kept track of all the deaths… causes of death… cancer is about one-half the national average.”

“In other words, we are preventing about 50% of the incidence of cancer by means of [giving desiccated thyroid].”

“That is why Austria has such a high incidence of cancer. It’s because they are all low thyroid.”

Broda Barnes, MD, PhD studied the thyroid for more than 50 years.

He’s one of the great thyroid experts of all time. I highly encourage people to read this book and Mark Starr’s book called “Hypothyroidism Type 2”.

More About This Wonderful Book

I highly encourage people to read both Barnes’s book and Mark Starr’s book on Hypothyroidism

This is wonderful book.

I highly encourage people to read both Broda Barnes’s book and Mark Starr, MD’s book titled “Hypothyroidism Type 2”.

Dr. Starr learned about thyroid problems from Broda Barnes writings and speeches, but Dr. Starr talks about additional material as well. For example, Dr. Starr defines the new term of Type 2 Hypothyroidism where a person has low thyroid function and needs desiccated thyroid even though their blood tests are normal.

 

Cardiovascular Disease

Hypothyroidism is THE MAJOR CAUSE of cardiovascular disease

Dr. Barnes presents evidence that hypothyroidism is the major cause of cardiovascular disease.

He notes that research going back a hundred years showed this, and that the cholesterol theory is WRONG.

However, the cholesterol hypothesis of cardiovascular disease persists because the drug companies are making billions of dollars selling cholesterol-lowering drugs.

 

Heart Attacks

Heart Attack risk reduced 94% in his patients on desiccated thyroid compared to Framingham Study

The shows that heart attacks among his patients taking desiccated thyroid was 94% than what was predicted by the famous Framingham study.

He also tells how hypothyroidism can cause

• Fatigue
• Depression
• Migraines and headaches
• Fertility problems
• Menstrual problems
• High Blood Pressure

 

Fertility Problems

Fertility Problems: Why not try desiccated thyroid first? There is NOTHING to lose by doing this

The fact that hypothyroidism can cause fertility problems seems to have been forgotten or overlooked.

If I were a couple and could not get pregnant, this is the FIRST thing I would try.

It is an extremely LOW RISK idea.

What have you got to lose by trying this?

Absolute nothing.

If I were in this situation, I would call Mark Starr, MD—phone: (480) 607-6503—and talk to him about the appropriate dosage of desiccated thyroid required.

Dr. Starr notes that the average dose of desiccated thyroid required in patients with hypothyroidism is 3.5 grains.

My impression is that most doctors have been convinced by the makers of Synthroid and thyroid researchers paid by the makers of Synthroid (T4) to only give Synthroid (T4) and let the body convert it into T3.

But Dr. Barnes, Dr. Starr and other doctors who have used desiccated thyroid, ALL say that desiccated thyroid is superior.

In fact, Jacques Hertoghe, MD, a 3rd generation endocrinologist from Belgium, who is not deceased, said that in most cases Synthroid (T4) does NOT work.

Mark Starr notes this also in his book, showing that symptoms of hypothyroidism DID NOT IMPROVE with Syntyh

and even University endocrinologists would be scared to give this much, fearing that it would be dangerous.

However, Mark Starr notes that

He also notes that hypothyroidism is associated with

• Frequent infections
• Arthritis
• Skin problems
• Lung Cancer
• Emphysema

In a speech he gave in the 1970’s, he noted that cancer among his patients treated with desiccated thyroid were about half the national average, suggesting that correcting hypothyroidism with desiccated thyroid seems to reduce the risk of cancer.

He also educated many people to the fact that desiccated thyroid is SUPERIOR to Synthroid (synthetic T4), and also noted in one of his speeches that when he switched his patients of desiccated thyroid to synthetic T4 plus T3, in a study he was doing for a drug company, he found that a number of patients could not tolerate the synthetic hormones, and that the synthetic thyroid hormones did NOT correct dry skin, and did NOT correct the edema, that is did NOT get rid of the excess water the way that desiccated thyroid did.

Therefore, he said that he would only use desiccated thyroid, and NOT the synthetic T4 and T3.

Broda Barnes, MD, PhD studied the thyroid for more than 50 years.

He’s one of the great thyroid experts of all time.

I highly encourage people to read this book and Mark Starr’s book called Hypothyroidism Type 2: The Epidemic
