They were looking for diseases that had not been detected previously among these persons. Instead of hisrh blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, or peptic ulcer as migSt be expected with busy executives ▼ - the most frequently discovered new disease was one called "low thyroid state.” ’The condition was found in one out of eight men and in one out of every four women examined. These figures on executives confirm what other researchers have recently found - that low thyroid activity is far more common among people in all walks of life than had been believed. Low thyroid activity can go un detected for years. It is difficult to recognize because it may cause as many as twenty-five different symptoms, ranging from chronic headache and fatigue to goiter and eye ulcers. This should not be sur- j prising since the secretion of the thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped organ in the neck, influences every : function and cell of the body. When the gland does not secrete enough hormone, any number of things j can go wrong. Although the thyroid hormone was the first ever recognized as necessary to a healthy life, and thyroid extract has been used as medicine since 1895, it has been j only recently that its many pos- i sible applications have been widely recognized. Scientists have discovered many th \xs about the hormone in the j last few years; for example, that ; once it has been secreted by the j gland, it changes form. At least nine different chemical compounds found in the body have been identi fied as fractions of the hormone. When the gland is underactive, t’ body is not getting these r d chemicals and one or more <> ,i variety of conditions may re si.it even tooth decay apparently is hastened by a lack of thyroid se cretion. Although the hormone may change alter it leaves the gland, medical researchers have estab lished that purified tin 'globulin, the natural form in wh the hor mone is stored in the nd, will relieve almost all condu os caused by low thyroid activity. Through some mysterious chemical process, the body takes this substance and uses it to produce chemicals that our cells need to function properly. At one time, the only thyroid medication available was a crude extract of animal gland that con tained unnecessary and sometimes harmful material. The potency of such extracts also varied greatly and a doctor could not be sure whether the patient was getting too much or too little. Today, scientists have developed a way to eliminate the unnecessary material while preserving the es sential substance. They have also found means of making sure that the strength of each tablet of the purified extract is exactly the same, t»hus providing for correct dosages in all cases.
