Earthing and the Human Body.

Posted on June 20, 2014 by Dr. Gary Pack

Earthing is a process which promotes the interaction of the electrical charge of the human body and the electrical charge of the Earth. In fact, there is evidence that it improves the physiologic processes of the body. Grounded copper conductors connect the body with the Earth’s electricity. The authors conducted 5 experiments to evaluate the […]

Autoimmunity of the Thyroid and Vitiligo.

Posted on January 27, 2014 by Dr. Gary Pack

Vitiligo is a skin disease with typical light patches of skin (depigmentation). Autoimmunity and endocrine diseases are believed to be related to vitiligo, and there is some suggestion that vitiligo is related to thyroid dysfunction also. This study was done to find a relationship between vitiligo and thyroid autoimmunity. The study involved a count of […]

Thyroid Dysfunction and the Lipid Profile.

Posted on January 23, 2014 by Dr. Gary Pack

Abnormal thyroid activity can change serum lipids and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Low thyroid activity (hypothyroidism) can raise serum lipids, and treatment can return them to normal. However, hyperthyroidism can be associated with low serum cholesterol also. Thyroid hormone increases cholesterol production and insulin resistance. People with high anti-thyroid antibodies can have high […]

Subclinical Hypothyroidism.

Posted on August 14, 2009 by Dr. Gary Pack

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is diagnosed when the patient’s blood thyroid level is normal for the testing laboratory and the blood thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level is slightly high. The TSH test is more sensitive than the serum thyroxin test. SCH is more common in women, especially with pregnancy or aging, and usually progresses to clinical […]

Effects of Selenomethionine in Autoimmune Thyroiditis.

Posted on March 21, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Selenium deficiency can reduce the ability of the body to fight free radicals. As selenomethionine, selenium is part of glutathionine peroxidase that is necessary for detoxification of the body. Selenium is necessary to convert thyroxine T(4) to T(3) and to fight the autoimmune process. The present study by Duntas, et al, was of patients with […]
