Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Hi, I'm looking for advice for someone who's generally lethargic and has a terrible time getting out of bed in the morning. Could diet be playing a part of this? Yoga interests her, but she can't get the energy or motivation to do so. If she could, any specific, simple exercise she could do to get started?

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Hi Angie, I have heard that if you have a difficult time getting up in the morning, your liver could be sluggish. Is there any reason for depression. Is this person generally in good health (mentally, spiritually and bodily)?

As Samantha suggests, liver problems (congestion, damage, etc.) can also cause these symptoms, and again, there are sets which help with the liver, but it may be best to pin down the actual source of the problem before taking corrective action. Drinking lots of water is helpful for flushing the system, beet juice is cleansing, and avoiding toxins (air, food, water) to cut down on the work the liver has to do is always a good idea. Breath of fire is energizing and detoxifying, and sitali pranayam (inhale through the curled tongue and exhale through the nose) is also detoxifying.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2001 Report Share Posted June 6, 2001 Dear Angie, As Sadhant has mentioned low thyroid function, there is an easy way to check your thyroid. " The best way to screen for hypo-thyroid is to first note if you suffer from several or more of the above symptoms. Then check for a low body temperature using the following Dr. Broda Barnes Axillary Temperature test. 1) Shake down an ORAL thermometer and place it next to your bed BEFORE you go to sleep. 2) As soon as you wake up, place the thermometer under your armpit and leave it there for 10 minutes BEFORE getting up. 3) Record the temperature. If it is below normal rising temperature, which is 97.8 to 98.2 degrees F, for three consecutive days, you are likely hypothyroid. (Menstruating females should wait until after there first day of their period before taking this tests.) Temperatures of 96.6 or less almost quarantines hypo-thyroidism even in the presence of normal blood tests. A pulse of 65 or less in the NON-AEROBICALLY is also suggestive of hypo-thyroidism when combined with an axillary temperature of less than 97.8 and several of the above hypo-thyroid symptoms. If your self-tests suggest hypo-thyroidism, have you doctor do a thyroid panel. If it is abnormal, than prescription whole thyroid with "thyroxin" (not synthetics) are indicated. If your blood tests are "normal" remember this is common with sub-optimal thyroid conditions. We recommend an OTC thyroxin free whole thyroid supplement to stimulate the thyroid to produce more of its own thyroxin in such cases. These product resources can be found at a good health food store. Generally take 1 or 2 a day, depending on your size and the extent of the sub-optimal hypo-thyroid findings. In 6 weeks your temperature should improve at least 50% toward normal, your heart beat up 50% toward normal, and half of your symptoms should be at least 50% better. If that occurs continue indefinetly on 1 or 2 a day, which ever works best. It takes about six weeks to notice a difference when adding or subtracting thyroid supports." This info came from Dr.John Maher's article "Hypo Thyroidism The Hidden Epidemic" You can check it by going on line, type body temperature, scroll down to you see HyproThyroidism. Good Luck.

I cannot "trill", for that matter. Is there another way to get the benefit of sitali pranayam? thanks! t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
