Are Your Metabolic Brakes On!By Dr. Greg Fors
Does it feel like something has slammed on the brakes to your body’s metabolism? No matter what you do you can't get going, lose weight or you’re fatigued and cold. Your skin and hair is dry and thinning. You’re constipated, have a low sexual desire and may feel depressed. You're sure there's got to be a physical explanation for all of this but your doctor tells you “your tests are all ‘within normal limits’ Perhaps you’ve heard that your thyroid might be the problem, so you get the doctor to run tests for this but again the doctor says “your TSH levels are fi ne, but don’t worry let’s try Cymbalta.” But you are worried, because this is not the life you had planned for yourself. You do not want to live your life as if you have a foot on the accelerator and the brake at the same time. OK, stay with me on this. To understand what's going on you are going to have to put a thinking cap on and apply a little brain power. It might be that the brake pedal to your metabolism is slammed to the fl oor boards, and no one is looking deep enough to discover it. What you hear about the thyroid is correct; it truly does have a major infl uence on your metabolism and your overall health. In fact, every cell in your body has a receptor for the active thyroid hormone, T3. If your doctor had found that your TSH levels were abnormally high, meaning your thyroid was under active, you may already be on a synthetic thyroid medication known as Synthroid or levothyroxine. Let’s cross some T’s and look at how these and other things in your life affect the thyroid. The drug Synthroid is actually T4, similar to the T4 your thyroid produces. The problem is, T4, whether produced by your thyroid or taken orally is not biologically active, so your liver must convert it into the biologically active T-3. This active T-3 is the accelerator to your metabolic engine. At the same time, your liver also creates a hormone called Reverse T-3 which is the biological brake to your metabolism. You need a proper balance of both active T-3 and Reverse T-3 for optimal metabolism (not too fast and not too slow). However, whenever you are emotionally, physically, or biologically stressed, such as being chronically ill or recovering from surgery or a car accident you produce more Reverse T-3. If you are diabetic, aging, or taking drugs like beta blockers you produce more Reverse T-3. Also, if you are taking T4, Synthroid, or levothyroxine and your body cannot properly convert it to the active T-3 it may be converting into excess Reverse T-3. Point is, whenever Reverse T-3 is elevated it acts as a brake. This blocks the accelerator active T-3 from binding to your cells and doing its job, thus you end up with more foot on the brake than on the accelerator. Let’s continue… …In this situation you can develop many or all of the symptoms of hypothyroidism while your TSH levels and T4 levels will almost always show to be within normal limits. This is a problem in that the only tests that are typically used to diagnose a thyroid issue are TSH or possibly T4, thus the condition of having Reverse T3 syndrome is never properly diagnosed by your doctor! To properly understand and diagnose your condition a knowledgeable doctor must run at least eight different thyroid tests TSH, total T4, free T4, total T-3, free T3, reverse T-3, and calculate the reverse T-3 and total T-3 ratio. Along with this, thyroid antibody tests must be run to determine if you have the most common cause of thyroid dysfunction, the autoimmune disorder known as Hashimoto's disease. Over time, Hashimoto's disease destroys your thyroid and generally elevates reverse T-3 levels giving you a double whammy. The cause and proper diagnosis of this disabling Reverse T-3 syndrome and/or Hashimoto's disease will be the subject matter of my upcoming seminars. I will also discuss how you can conquer this baffl ing health problem. Please, attend one of my upcoming FREE SEMINARS! These seminars will be held Monday, February 27th and Wednesday, March 7th 7:00 to 8:00 PM at the Pain and Brain Healing Center and Monday, March 12th 6:30 PM at Northtown library.

► On Feb. 25, 1890, Vlacheslav Skryabin, foreign minister for the Soviet Union who took the revolutionary name Molotov, is born in Kurkaka, Russia. Molotov advocated the use of throwing bottles fi lled with fl ammable liquid and stuffed with a lit rag at the enemy, and the famous “Molotov cocktail” was born.
► On Feb. 26, 1903, Alexander Winton, driving his Winton Bullet, sets the fi rst speed record ever achieved at Daytona Beach, Fla. Built in 1902, the “Bullet Number 1” drove a measured mile at more than 65 mph.
► On Feb. 23, 1945, during the battle
for Iwo Jima, U.S. Marines raise the American fl ag atop Mt. Suribachi, an event captured on fi lm by AP photographer Joe Rosenthal. Although the photograph has long led people to believe that the fl ag raising was a turning point in the battle, fi ghting continued for 31 more days.
► On Feb. 20, 1986, France and Britain announce that a tunnel under the English Channel linking the two countries would soon become a reality. Trains, cars and buses would be able to speed through the tunnel in less than half an hour. Construction began in December 1987, and the “chunnel” was fi nally completed in 1994.
► On Feb. 21, 1994, CIA operative Aldrich Ames is arrested for selling secrets to the Soviet Union. At least 10 men were killed after Ames revealed their identities, and more were sent to Russian gulags. Both Ames and his wife were later convicted. Ames was sentenced to life in prison while his wife, as part of
a plea-bargain agreement, was given a fi ve-year sentence.
► On Feb. 27, 1860, Abraham Lincoln poses for the fi rst of several portraits by noted Civil War-era photographer Mathew Brady.

• Louis Chevrolet was a Swiss auto racer who went into partnership with William Durant to produce automobiles. Chevrolet had already been in the news as a frequent race winner, driving his Buick up to 72 miles per hour. He wanted to build a luxury car, while Durant’s idea was to produce inexpensive cars to compete with the Ford Model T. Chevrolet won the debate and lent his name to the Classic Six. However, a few years later, while Louis was on a European vacation, Durant introduced a smaller, cheaper car. Upon Chevrolet’s return to Michigan, the two men’s dispute grew, and Chevrolet sold out his shares and left the company. Durant went on to control General Motors, acting as president until 1920. • The names of Edward Murphy and Alanson Brush are probably not familiar ones, but you’ve certainly heard of their business venture, the Pontiac Buggy Company. First manufacturing horse-drawn carriages in Pontiac, Michigan, the business evolved into producing two-cylinder engines. When Murphy died unexpectedly at age 45, General Motors bought the company. Production of Pontiacs in America continued until 2009, when a G6 model became the fi nal car produced.
• Ford is not America’s oldest automobile company, as many believe. That distinction belongs to Buick, ahead of Ford by one month. Founded by Scotsman David Dunbar Buick, it was incorporated in 1903. Mr. Buick had previously been in the plumbing business, successfully inventing a process for creating white porcelain bathtubs and inventing an innovative lawn sprinkler. He invested his earnings in a new business venture, producing two-cylinder engine automobiles. Almost from the start, the company had fi nancial problems, and David Buick signed his company over to William Durant in 1904. Soon afterward, Buick became part of General Motors.• Before there was the Ford Motor Company, there was the Detroit Auto Company, Henry Ford’s fi rst endeavor in 1899. The venture failed completely, leaving him in fi nancial ruin. After acquiring new investors (including the Dodge brothers), he began a second company, another one he left behind. (This business later became the Cadillac Company.) Finally, in 1903, Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company, and by 1906, it was the No. 1 car manufacturer in America. He introduced the Model T in 1908, which was a less expensive auto designed for the common man. Famous Ford names include the Thunderbird, introduced in 1954, the Edsel, a failure that debuted in 1957, and the Mustang,
launched in 1964. • Henry Leland was assigned to liquidate the assets from Henry Ford’s second company and ended up taking it over. Leland named the company after the founder of Detroit, a French explorer named Cadillac, who reportedly was one of Leland’s distant ancestors. He operated the company until 1909, when it was purchased by General Motors. Cadillac is noted for producing the fi rst vehicle with an electric starter in 1912, followed by the fi rst mass-produced car with an eight-cylinder engine. In 1924, the company was also the fi rst to use lacquer paint, giving customers the choice of several different colors, rather than what other competitors were offering — black! • Gothenburg, Sweden, is the birthplace of the Volvo, with the fi rst one rolling out of the factory in 1947. The name came from Latin, meaning “I roll.” Eight years later, the company had produced 15 million vehicles. Today, Volvo has more than 90,000 employees. • When you hear the name of John DeLorean, his sleek stainless steel two-seater with the unusual full-wing doors might come to mind. However, DeLorean achieved fame fi rst for his contributions at General Motors, most notably the Pontiac GTO and Firebird. At age 27, with a Masters degree in automotive engineering, he joined the Chrysler organization. Less than a year later, he was working for the Packard Motor Company. Two years
later, DeLorean made the move to GM, where he eventually became a vice-president. He is considered by many to be the creator of the “muscle car.” At age 48, he abruptly resigned from GM to start the DeLorean Motor Company. He chose Belfast, Ireland, for his manufacturing plant, and the factory began production in 1981, anticipating sales of 30,000 cars per year. By early 1982, the company had collapsed and was in receivership and closed in November, having produced only 9,000 cars in a 21-month period. • Although we frequently associate Lee Iacocca with the Chrysler Corporation, he initially worked for Ford Motor Company from 1946 to 1978. He was the head designer of the Ford Mustang in 1964 and became president of the company in 1970. Because of ongoing confl ict with Henry Ford II, Iacocca was fi red in 1978. He joined Chrysler, which was losing millions of dollars and on the verge of closure. He went to work rebuilding the company, turning it around completely. • Fiats have been around since 1899 when the Fabbrica Italiana Automobli Torino (translation: Italian Automobile Factory of Turin) was founded. The company built its fi rst factory in the United States in 1908.

■ Chilling Foods: To chill foods quickly put them in your freezer for 20 to 30 minutes rather than longer in the refrigerator.
■ Food Stains in Plastic Storage Containers: Use a baking soda paste (baking soda and water) and rub into the stain. You can then rinse with vinegar (optional) and wash normally. Another method is to place container outside on a nice sunny day and the sun actually bleaches the stain out. To avoid stains in the fi rst place, spray container with cooking spray before putting things in it that stain i.e. spaghetti sauce.
■ Fried Food Odors: Next time you fry foods, try placing a small cup of bleach nearby. The bleach absorbs much of the “fried” odor (that would otherwise linger for days!) Be sure to clearly mark the cup and keep it out of the reach of children. Greasy Gravy: A small amount of baking soda added to gravy will eliminate excess grease.
■ Microwave Filth: Food splatters all over the inside of your microwave and cooks itself on after time. To easily remove this mess, place a sponge soaked in water or just a dish fi lled with 1/2 cup water in the microwave. Cook on high heat for 2 minutes. The fi lth is now ready to be wiped right off - no scrubbing!

Spanning the East River between Manhattan and Brooklyn is the magnifi cent Brooklyn Bridge, one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States. Tidbits brings you a collection of unusual facts about this remarkable engineering achievement. • A rapidly expanding population in New York during the mid-1800s created a desperate need for a connection between the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn, and expert bridge engineer John Roebling was appointed to design a suspension bridge. Roebling had achieved fame as the inventor of the twisted wire rope cable in 1841 and had already designed several renowned bridges, many still in use today. Roebling’s design called for steel cable for the fi rst time, replacing the iron wire previously used. His truss system was six times stronger than it needed to be, able to withstand 18,700 tons. • Just weeks before construction began in 1869, Roebling was doing some fi nal site surveys when a ferryboat crushed his foot while pulling into a pier. Three weeks later, he was dead from tetanus. The project was handed over to his son, Washington Roebling, who had assisted his father in the designs. • Excavation was accomplished through the use of 3,000-ton, airtight cylinders called caissons. Workers rode down to the caissons in small iron containers, which fi lled with compressed air. They used shovels and dynamite to clear away silt and boulders from the river bottom, working their way to the bedrock. The trip to and from the bottom proved deadly for some. Many laborers suffered from decompression sickness, commonly known as “the bends,” when dangerous amounts of nitrogen gas entered their bloodstreams. • Washington Roebling himself became paralyzed and was forced to monitor the bridge’s progress from his bed, using a telescope. He trained his wife Emily in mathematics and engineering and dictated instructions to her, and she made daily trips to the bridge to oversee the project under her husband’s direction. • Fourteen years after construction
began, the bridge was offi cially dedicated in May of 1883. Emily Roebling was given the fi rst ride over the bridge, followed by 1,800 vehicles and 150,300 people. Vehicles paid fi ve cents to cross and pedestrians, one cent.• The total construction cost was $15.1 million, including $3.8 million for the land for the approaches. Twenty-seven workers died in the process from fi res, explosions, falls or the bends. At its completion, it became the world’s longest suspension bridge at 3,460 feet (1054.6 m), a record it held until 1903. The granite Gothic towers rise 276 feet (84 m) in the air.• Just one week after opening, a woman tripped on the steps, and her companion screamed, sparking a panic that the bridge was about to collapse. A stampede followed, and 12 people were killed in the crush. A year later, P.T. Barnum touted the stability of the bridge by leading his famous circus attraction Jumbo and 21 other elephants across the bridge.
• These days, about 145,000 vehicles and 4,000 pedestrians cross the bridge on a daily basis, making it the second busiest bridge in New York City. There are six lanes of automobile traffi c, two of which carried elevated trains until 1944. Today, commercial vehicles and buses are not allowed to use the bridge due to the road’s height and weight restrictions. Although nearly 130 years old, it still ranks as the 44th longest suspension bridge in the world.

Pretty on the outside, toxic on the inside! Take a look at these plants that can be hazardous to your health. • The hardy perennial shrub known as belladonna, or deadly nightshade, is one of the most toxic plants in the Western Hemisphere. Unfortunately, this plant has bright appealing berries with a sweet taste that pose a temptation to young children. Ingestion of just a few berries can be deadly. The roots are just as toxic. Its poisonous alkaloids disrupt the body’s parasympathetic nervous system and cause blurred vision, increased heart rate and
loss of balance. Confusion, delirium and hallucinations are not uncommon. • Daffodils, narcissus and hyacinth may look lovely in your garden, but ingesting the bulbs leads to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions and even death. Likewise, all parts of rhododendrons and azaleas are poisonous, producing vomiting, diffi cult breathing, coma and occasionally death. And the beautiful ground cover Lily of the Valley is extremely poisonous. Eating any part of the plant can bring death.• You may recall that the philosopher Socrates died from drinking poison hemlock, after he was found guilty of “corrupting the minds of the youth of Athens” and of “not believing in the gods of the state.” After drinking the mixture, he was made to walk around until his legs went numb, a numbness that slowly advanced to his heart. This was the result of the alkaloid coniine, which paralyzes the central
nervous system. • Just one mushroom cap of the Amanita virosa (destroying angel) species can kill a man. This variety contains one of the deadliest poisons found in nature. Mushroom hunters should steer clear of any parasol-shaped mushrooms with white gills. • Have you heard the old saying “leaves of three, let it be”? This advice is for hikers who want to avoid poison ivy. A chemical called urushiol found in the sap of the plant is what creates the itchy blistering bumps. All it takes is 1 billionth of a gram to cause a rash. Although about 85 percent of people are allergic to urushiol, it can take up to 10 days for a rash to appear after a person’s fi rst exposure, and most don’t even have a reaction that fi rst time they touch it.• The pharmaceutical product digitalis is used by heart patients to control an irregular heart rate. It is extracted from certain species of the beautiful, tall, spiked fl owering plant, the foxglove. Some varieties contain deadly steroidal glycosides, of which just a tiny bit is potentially fatal. Even a deeply inhaled breath can bring heart block, increased or decreased heart rate and death. Wild hallucinations and delirium often come fi rst, along with severe headaches and abdominal pain. • Kiss your sweetheart under the mistletoe, but don’t eat the berries! Many children and adults have perished from consuming these poisonous fruits. • You might love rhubarb pie, but stay away from the leaves! Ingesting large amounts of either raw or cooked leaves can lead to convulsions, coma and even death, due to the present of oxalic acid salts.• Pits from cherries, peaches and plums as well as seeds from apples and pears contain cyanogenic glycosides, compounds that release small amounts of cyanide. You won’t die from swallowing a few seeds, but it’s a habit to avoid. Large quantities can lead to death, although you’ll probably vomit violently before that point.

Bits that BiteBits that Bite
Marrying a man is like buying something you've been admiring for a long time in a shop window. You may love it when you get it home, but it doesn't always go with everything else in the house.
Two Scotsmen who were avid golfers had played together on Thursdays at the same course for many years. The sixth tee was near the road that led to the local cemetary. One Thursday as they reached that particular tee a funeral passed by and old Hamish turned and raised his club in salute. "Mon", exclaimed Hector, "all these years we've been a playing this course and that's the fi rst time I've seen ye paying any respect for the dead". "Aye, weel", explained Hamish, "when you have been married to a woman for forty years, she's entitled to a we bit of respect".
