Dr. Shan says, often times patients will have had a "thyroid test" and the doctor says all parameters are within normal limits; however, they have typically only tested 1 or 2 of the components of the thyroid even though there are 6 total thyroid parameters. This means that some people may have an associated thyroid problem but it goes undiagnosed. If it goes undiagnosed then further tests will be ran and the search for better health continues for a long, long time.
One of the primary fundamental thyroid facts is that the thyroid is controlled by the nerves that travel down from the brain, through the spinal cord in your neck and exit the mid-neck region. If this nerve control is reduced then the thyroid and its components will be negatively affected. Most doctors don't check for nerve flow reduction as most don't have the testing tools to perform these tests. People who have had some type of accident (physical trauma), chemical exposure (bad food, bad water, environmental toxins), an emotional event (i.e. death in the family) and many other encounters have found that they have some type of neck problem which could be leading to their thyroid issues.
We will discuss a couple of simple home tests to find out if this is a problem or if you have a thyroid problem that has been undiagnosed. You'll be amazed! Come and find out if you have a thyroid problem, if your other health conditions could be made worse with a thyroid problem and what are the full tests to evaluating the thyroid?
Hope to see you there!
