- Low functioning thyroid is a new epidemic of the society affecting more than 3% of people. If thyroid function is low, it causes weight gain, loss of energy, cold intolerance and menstrual irregularities in women.
- All people who are aged 50 and above should have their thyroid profile (TSH test) done to look for thyroid deficiency.
- In younger people, or in cases of infertility, menstrual irregularity, pregnancy, weight gain, one should check for thyroid deficiency.
- Iodized salt should be used to prevent thyroid deficiency.
- Non–iodized salt is only used in two conditions: firstly in patient with thyroid inflammation and secondly, while doing Jalneti in naturopathy, a yoga–related nasal wash technique.
- Even mild thyroid deficiency in pregnancy can affect the growth of fetus; hence, dose requirement of thyroid medicine is much higher in pregnancy than in non–pregnancy.
- In the elderly, the dose of thyroid medicine to be started is always low as compared to one in the adults.
- If thyroid deficiency is untreated, osteoporosis (thickening of bone) and/or atrial fibrillation (irregular and fast heart rate) may result. Osteoporosis can cause recurrent fractures and atrial fibrillation may cause brain paralysis.
- In Allopathic medicine, thyroid deficiency is treated by synthetic T4 hormone replacement. In TFSP, thyroid extracts are available, which contain both T4 and T3 potential drugs.
- In Ayurveda, thyroid stimulant drugs are available but they are effective only if some amount of thyroid gland is available.
- As per Ayurveda, eating soya and drinking water from copper vessel is good for thyroid.

Fever does not mean presence of infection. There are many situations where there may be fever without infection and hence needs no antibiotics.
- Sepsis is a clinical syndrome, which results from the dysregulation of inflammatory response to an infection. The temperature is between 36°C to 38.30°C. Heart rate is often more than 90 per minute.
- Symptomatic inflammatory response syndrome means a clinical syndrome, which results from dysregulated inflammatory response to any infections such as inflammation of the pancreas, inflammation of the vessels, clot formations in the veins.
- Many antibiotics can cause fever; unless they are discontinued, fever will not subside.
- Hyperthermia is a condition with elevated body temperature but it is not called fever. Examples are exposure to heat or heat stroke and in response to anesthetic drugs and anti–psychotic drugs.
- Hyperthermia may not respond to anti–fever drugs.
- When fever is more than 41.5°C, it is acute hyperpyrexia.
- Hyperpyrexia is usually seen in patients with severe infections but it may also occur in brain hemorrhage. It responds to anti–fever drugs.
- High temperature without infection is found in condition of hyperfunctioning of the thyroid gland.
- Recreational drugs such as Ecstasy can also cause fever without any infection.
- Mild fever can also occur after exertion.
