Temperature Self-Check

January 7, 2020January 19, 2022by The Lucy Rose Clinicin Quizzes & Questionnaires, ThyroidTags thyroid

Dr. Broda Barnes’s Temperature Testing Protocol

This check needs to be done first thing in the morning before getting out of bed. Leave the thermometer on your bedside, so as soon as your alarm goes off you can reach for it without sitting up or moving from bed.

Take your temperature by placing a  thermometer under your tongue, or underneath your arm for 10 minutes. When checking under the arm, you should add 1°  to the result. Record your temperature daily, don’t try to do it by memory!

Repeat these steps for 7 days. Return your daily recordings to your doctor.

A reading below the normal 98° F or 36.6° C (after adding 1 degree to under the arm temperature) strongly suggests hypothyroid. A reading above 98.2° F or 36.7° C may indicate hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).

Dr. Barnes recommends patients take a desiccated glandular (derived from pigs) prescription medication known as Armour Thyroid or NDT, which was used before synthetic medications such as Synthroid or Thyroxine were introduced. Armour Thyroid and other prescription thyroid glandular medications contain both T4 and T3 (80% T4 and 20% T3)

Tips

Women who are still having their menstrual cycle should take their temperature after the third day of their period.

If your temperature is out of range, book a consult with one of our expert team to discuss what this could mean, and how to get holistic treatment started. Click the button to go to our online booking calendar.
