Does anyone have an abnormally low body temperature? Radiation poisoning?

It would seem that the reason I am gaining weight is that my body temperature is not high enough to metabolize fat at 100%. etc.

that could well be the case- there is a test for basal metabolic rate, don't remember too much about it, but you might find a doc you like, and ask.

Don't know if this is of interest, but it is about the BMR:

My temp is also very low, I'm around 96.3, don't tolerate extreme temp changes at all, I'm always either freezing or too hot. I have gained about 30 lbs in the past two years despite dieting, excercising, etc. I'm tired all the time! I went to the doctor and had everything tested and of course I'm in the normal range so no help. I feel feverish when I'm at a normal temp. I really need to find a solution so please share your findings😊

all right, I am beginning to put stuff together here.

this is about radiation. yes, radiation affects the thyroid gland more than almost any other body part. That is why when I lived in Germany, it was recommended to have iodine on hand to take in case of a radiation release from the nearby nuclear power plant -

the iodine would collect in your thyroid, and by doing so block it from taking in radioactivity.

the thyroid is called the master gland because it controls so many bodily functions.

Body temperature is one.

so a connection between radiation and thyroid function exists.

^^^THIS^^^

My normal is high 95s to low 96s. When my body temperature is 98.6 I feel crappy. Some doctors do not "get" this. FFS have they never heard of the bell curve and averages?!?!?
My blood pressure is also low 90 or 100 for the low number is normal, 120 is high high normal and 140 means I am in severe pain or distress.

My Dad is the same.

NOTHING to do with Fukushima!!!

Hm...always been a 36,6 dgrs C (97,88 F) guy myself.

Must be a lot of hot-blooded people running around
raising the average, it seems ;)

A connection between hypothyroidism and metabolism exists. Radiation can cause thyroid cancer.

My Dad never has had any thyroid problems.

One of my sisters takes thyroid medicine and has low normal body temp and high blood pressure, (like my Dad, and like my Mom - high blood pressure).

I take thyroid medicine and am like my Dad, both before having to take medicine and after, I have low body temp and low blood pressure, just like my Dad. 99.1 will lay us out in bed unable to do much at all.

Some of us do not fall along the norm in the temp or other average bell curve areas.

If someone is concerned about Fukushima radiation and their thyroid, they need to get checked for cancer. I find it doubtful people in the USA have thyroid radiation issues, people in Japan or wherever the fallout went immediately may want to get checked out...Chernobly proved this as thyroid cancer rates soared in the aftermath.
Thyroid cancer is completely curable though, so people shouldn't freak out, just get checked.

Is there a protocol that would help overcome this?

Calorie intake and lack of burning calories causes weight gain.

I will gain weight with a long term fever bc I am not up and about burning calories in my normal low body temp state.

Most people who have hypothyroidism aren't much overweight, if at all. When I was diagnosed I was underweight bc being hypothyroid can cause you to not want to eat much...that is a low metabolism thing.

I feel feverish at what is considered normal or low grade temps, but that is bc when my temp rises to that point I am ill and fighting off an infection.

Go see a doctor. Get checked for hashimoto's disease, it is an autoimmune disorder which attacks the thyroid and can make you hypothyroid, yet regular thyroid blood work will show normal bc of the antibodies. Find a GOOD Endocrinologist. Do your own research to inform yourself, too.

This has me really interested.

I'm going to see what happens when I wear a analog thermometer under my armpit connected to an arduino with some code to log data every x seconds/minutes. Then graph it out with gnuplot at the end of the day.

I've always been around 96.2f or 35.7c average.
In the mornings and at lows of the day I'm usually at around 95.3f or 35.2c. Sometimes a bit lower.
My highs go up to 97.1f or 36.2c

I get chills (from fever) at 97.9 or 36.6c
At 98.6f or 37c I'm totally experiencing fever.

I can go into "hypothermia" without noticing much.
At some point of the day (usually while asleep) my temperature drops below 95f or 35c.
When I'm out in the cold too long, or some random occasions it does the same during the day. I often don't notice. Sometimes my nails, or lips (rarer) turning purple gives it away.
I start feeling weak when I drop below or 93.2f or 34c. But I'm still functional at that point, just not optimal anymore.

I've always been this way.
I also have low blood pressure. During my teens my blood pressure would sometimes drop as low as to 75/45. My average was always around 90/55. With age it's gone up to an average of 105/65. My rest pulse can also drop below 50.

I'm slim. I can eat a lot and won't gain weight. But I can also eat very little and won't really lose much weight either.

halogen imbalance syndrome. that was coined on the VWT at curezone. anyone can figure it out from there.

Weird, my spouse, myself, even our dog, we've all recently been put on thyroid medication. Even the Dr. had made statements about the abnormal number of people (and children) with thyroid problems in our area.

Mine tends to run low. I know I feel my crappiest when it's low (96.5-97). I've been taking a little thyroid supplement and some hormone replacement to raise my thermostat.

You can use homeopathy for radiation poisoning. That is something to do about it.

98,6 body temp is actually an average of worldwide

It has to do with radiation but not the FUKU radiation.. it has to do with the cosmic radiation that has been coming since 2006 Its a good thing

Low body temps can be caused by low insulin levels -- so you may want to check your blood sugar to see if it is high.

after a BigMac

I've had a low temp for my entire life. My mother runs low too. Its normal for us.

Have you checked out Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome?

[link to www.wilsonssyndrome.com]

Fuku radiation is most likely destroying everyone's thyroid so if a low temp is something new for you, radiation should be considered.

I've ran a low temp all my life.

I have Hashimoto's now. (a thyroid condition that makes your immune system attack your thyroid)

Taking my temp right now and it's 98.4.

But then again I moved about as far away from the West Coast as you can get a few years ago after living in Oregon my whole life, so if the theory is radiation it still might hold true.

I run from 95.5 to 98.

If I reach 98 I consider myself with a slight fever.

My Dr. Says most people run like this, so I don't think its anything to worry about.

Low body temp and metabolism are big thyroid flags.

Iodine is fantastic but should be taken in a protocol with selenium (critical for t4 to t3 and Rt3 conversion), magnesium, vitamin c, and possible b2 and b3. These companion nutrients are very important.

B3 (flushing niacin only) helps push toxins out of the body. It can be uncomfortable but the feeling usually subsides in about 30 minutes. Diatomaceous earth helps many people detox. Salt loading and b2 can help ease detox symptoms. Read Dr. Brownstein's books on iodine.

Coconut oil is really helpful for thyroid issues and regulating metabolism. Try cutting carb intake to one day a week. Avoid processes foods. They're loaded with gmos that have been sprayed with endocrine disrupting chemicals.

I am always cold, 95-96 and low bp. I took some Thailand thyroid tabs and was able to raise my temp a degree but was too hot. always been this wY

I've always had low av temp, low av bp, low pulse rate. Read yearsago that these predispose to longevity. (Also have neg blood. Guess that makes me a hybrid or something...lol)

You stay at EXACTLY 98.6 all of the time? You are full of shit.

niacin flush will release too many toxins if one has lyme, diagnosed or NOT! lyme is ubiquitous and the most misdiagnosed disease ever behind potassium deficiency. it IS an STD.

Actually, that is normal for a man with a healthy thyroid where women's temps fluctuate slightly based on their monthly menstrual cycle.
