Hypothyroidism: I Blame It On My Glandular Disorder

Remember what your 4th grade teacher told you about assuming things? You make an.... well, you remember.

Many people with hypothyroidism are treated by assuming that their thyroid gland is not working good enough, that is why the are overweight, losing hair, losing their memory, in pain and/or depressed. The solution is to give a little exrta hormone to help out that lazy gland.

Many people with hypothyroidism have that exact problem. Many more do not. Almost all are treated the same.

There are those that have a perfectly good thyroid gland, it's just not being stimulated to release enough hormone.

There are those that are releasing enough thyroid hormone, but the hormone isn't getting used very efficiently.

There are those that don't have enough nutritional substrate to make enough thyroid hormone.

There are those that have some sort of thyroid autoimmune disorder that can be triggered from something in the environment causing problems to the gland.

And then there are those that have a mixture of the above.

The people that are getting the best results aren't assuming, they are getting to the bottom of their problem and taking action.
