The nonsense with the diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism

The nonsense with the diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism continues. Hopefully, organisations such as the National Academy of Hypothyroidism, a non-profit, multidisciplinary medical society dedicated to the
dissemination of new information on hypothyroidism, led by Kent Holtorf, M.D., will help dispel the myth that your TSH level is always a reliable guide to thyroid function.

The National Academy of Hypothyroidism have a website at
http://nahypothyroidism.org/, where there is excellent information on what hypothyroidism is and why the tests used currently such as the TSH are a disaster for many sufferers. The information has been set out so that it can easily be printed out and given to your physician or GP.

For more information on the poor diagnosis of hypothyroidism, the link between hypothyroidism and weight problems and the scandal of thyroid testing and treatment, see my previous blogs at http://gooddietgoodhealth.blogspot.com/2008/03/hypothyroid-and-still-suffering.html and http://gooddietgoodhealth.blogspot.com/2007/03/low-thyroid-and-obesity.html .

Hypothyroid and still suffering the symptoms?

If you're hypothyroid and still struggling with symptoms such as difficulty in losing weight, tiredness, dry skin, brain fog, aches and pains and the rest, read this paper on the treatment of hypothyroidism by expert Dr John C. Lowe. It's long and detailed, but explains everything that is wrong with the treatment of hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid today, and what needs to be done about it.
