Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Hi Shirley, Yes, low body temp is a sign of hypothyroidism. I've read: Hypothyroidism by Broda O. Barnes, M.D. and Wilson's Syndrome by E. Denis Wilson M.D. I am not going to take thyroid hormones. I think all hormones should be regulated by the body, and that we are playing God if we try. I believe that God made my body perfect, and it is doing everything right to keep me alive. All I have to do is feed my body right and He will heal it. I spent over 40 year messing up my body, I feel I can wait 40 years for Him to heal it. I've spent most of my life wanting to be in control of my life. I don't like to wait for anything, but I've decided to tried to learn to be patient and sit back and let God do things in His time, in His way. By eating raw I am just make sure He has the " raw " material, to do the job. Psa 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Isaiah 40:31 Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Again this is just to share my motive why I just don't run to some doctor to give me thyroid hormones. This is my faith, my walk with God, this is what I feel is right for me, and I am in no way recommending going this route for anyone else. Shirley, thank you for caring and sharing. May God bless you and yours, Dale webmaster http://hishealingways.com P.S. I just read: If anyone does the testing the temperature thing and finds they have low temps, you can also use coconut oil. I had the same problem with low body temp, cold all the time etc. and I took one tablespoon of coconut oil three times a day and after four weeks, my temp was normal (98.6) all the time. In fact, sometimes it is even higher! If you want to research for yourself, read Dr. Fife's book " Eat Fat Look Thin " . It will really open your eyes to the miracles of coconut oil. Internet Source: http://www.rawfood.com/cgi-bin/forum/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=002575;p\ = And I've read somewhere people on a vegan diet their temperature run lower, but I can't find the quote. And I've read: Scientists in the United States have discovered three things which help predict how long someone is going to live. In a study published in the journal Science, they report that the length of a person's life is related to their body temperature, and to levels of two chemicals, insulin and DHEAS, circulating in the blood. On average, people who have a lower body temperature live longer, as do those with lower levels of insulin, and those with higher levels of DHEAS.

These are classic signs of hypothyroidism.And perhaps with going raw this will take care of itself I love her books also,awesome.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Hello Dale and all~ I am not prosyletizing or out trying to convert anyone else, but I want to say that I absolutely feel closer to God eating this way. It is incredible. I do have some questions though about bread and God and stuff that probably arent appropriate here. thanks Angela Dale Wing <dwing wrote: This is my faith, my walk with God, this is what I feel is right for me Dale SBC - Internet access at a great low price.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Go God. And imho, the Bible refers to bread in its prayer because those were not the times for civilization to try to convert to raw.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 He probably ate the same bread as everyone else, at least in his public ministry. But who knows, maybe when he was traveling before his public mission he ate a raw vegan diet. Here's a little tidbit I like about Jesus abstaining from meat. Rich New Forum: www.rawfoodeaters The Urantia Book, P.1936 - §3 The apostles knew that Jesus had celebrated other Passovers without the lamb; they knew that he did not personally participate in any sacrificial service of the Jewish system. He had many times partaken of the paschal lamb as a guest, but always, when he was the host, no lamb was served. It would not have been a great surprise to the apostles to have seen the lamb omitted even on Passover night, and since this supper was given one day earlier, they thought nothing of its absence. rawfood , Nicholas Costanza <jetpostman> wrote: > To late, I'm allready converted.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 The term " hypothyroidism " is mis-used. Actual " hypothyroidism " would be dramatic conditions like cretinism and mongoloidism. Those who do not have these conditions are more accurately described as people having low thyroid, since they are on the low side of the normal range. Having a lower body temperature may be considered abnormal, but then normal just means average, and is compared to the median population of SAD eaters. Raw vegans on a fruitarian diet can expect to have lower temperatures, since we have cooler running engines. We generate less heat, since most of the extreme heat generated in the body of the average person is a result of the body frantically trying to digest the indigestibles they consume, and the body whipping itself into a frenzy, frantically trying to eliminate poisons. Having a cooler engine also means we will probably live longer, not running our engines so fast. The body conserves energy, does not squander or use up its vitality, the body is very economical, so a lower body temperature accompanies a state of health. If we have a low thyroid, the body will correct it in its time, when the body is ready. There are no " miracle " foods, and the fact that consuming a fractionated food such as oil results in a higher body temperature is an interesting bit of info, which shows us that the body is struggling, having to generate more energy, having to work harder to metabolize the oil.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Would you care to quote any kind of support for this statement?? From what I am able to surmise from my own body temperature being low, and being SICK at the same time with chronic fatigue, a lowered body temperature is NOT a sign of health. Not necessarily. While it MAY depend on what is normal for each individual, if one has always had a temp of 98.6 and then it lowers, then cause for concern is legitamate. The reason is because there is a reason our body's have a certain temp- temp kills harmful bacteria. That's a good reason to let a temp run its course. Further, what makes you think you have a cooler running engine because you are vegan or a fruitarian? Is there any science data for that? What would it mean if a person is consistently hot with a low threshold for heat yet runs a low body temp?? There are many factors here and I've not found a lot of info on it and I've been looking. So if you have good data please share it. OTherwise, I think you are pulling this out of thin air.-- anne rawfood , " Rich Sachs " <seconaphim> wrote: > rawfood , " southladogs " <southladogs> > wrote: Raw vegans on a fruitarian diet can expect to have > > lower temperatures, since we have cooler running engines.
