Very good article. It is concentrated around basel temp and that is a great way to determine many things.

Modern medicine has moved away from basal temps which I feel is sad.

One thing not mentioned and would further check out the doctors website is the effects of unbound magnesium on hypothyroidism

MAgnesium is the PH level balancer for hypothyroid - and if your are not holding on to magnesium as many thyroid patients - then your Ph levels excelerate and bloat and water retention happen - sometimes severe.

I fought many months with bloating and is better now getting on mag.
