Diabetic patients suffer from hypothyroidism says Mark Starr, MD Video

This is from Mark Starr, MD's book Hypothyroidism Type 2: The Epidemic.

Dr. [Broda] Barnes believe diabetes was due in large part to hypothyroidism, Dr. Starr wrote (p. 41).

almost all the complications from diabetes are due to hardening of the arteries or atherosclerosis. (p. 42)

These complications include blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, gangrene, and nerve damage. (p. 42)

Diabetics suffer accelerated atherosclerosis identical to that associated with hypothyroidism. (p. 42)

new cases of diabetes were very rare among Dr. [Broda] Barnes patients being treated for hypothyroidism. (p. 42)

a significant number of patients with diabetes sought [Dr. Broda Barnes] help. (p. 42)

After many years of practice, [Dr. Barnes] realized that NONE of his patients with diabetes had developed ANY of the typical or more advanced complications from their illness. (p. 42)

This had previously been reported in 1954 by Crosby D. Eaton, MD, but ignored.

Dr. Eaton had written a paper titled Coexistence of Hypothyroidism with Diabetes Mellitus (1954).

The study included several hundred diabetic patients of all ages who were treated for years, Dr. Starr continues (p. 42).

Dr. Eaton realize the vast majority of his diabetic patients also suffered hypothyroidism. (p. 42)

[Dr. Eaton] administered desiccated thyroid hormones with no adverse effects upon their diabetic control. (p. 42)

[Dr. Eaton] reported a vastly reduced incidence of complications related to diabetes as well as the elimination of symptoms associate with hypothyroidism. (p. 42-43)

Dr. Broda Barnes was not the first to report what now seems to be an astonishing revelation.

However, he was the first doctor to back up his report with hard evidence consisting of 70,000 autopsy studies and long-term patient outcome studies.

Dr. Barnes presented his research on the coexistence of diabetes and hypothyroidism at a 1971 American Medical Association meeting.

He also met with prominent doctors

Unfortunately, he found no sympathetic ears, despite the wealth of evidence he had gathered from the autopsies, his own patients, and Dr. Eatons report.

In my opinion, every diabetic patient seen in my practice has suffered hypothyroidism.
