Dr Holze explaining Thyroid Function Tests - they are NOT gold standard!

[Guest guest]

Dr Holze says it as it is - how... how... how... can endocrinologists be so

dense?! Surely this is common sense?! http://youtu.be/eSwgUndHcqU

Quote from above link:

For context, it's important to note that AACE as an organization relies heavily

on funding from Abbott Laboratories, manufacturer of Synthroid.

These organisations MUST be shamed!

Excellent Jacquie - thanks so much for posting these links.

These should help our members to a better understanding of just what is going

wrong and why doctors are unable to give us a proper diagnosis by looking at

blood test results ALONE - blood tests that ONLY tell what amount of thyroid

hormone is in the blood, and NOT the amount that is being used in the cells -

where it matters.

Hopefully, if the reporter does not change what I have said,

these organisations WILL BE SHAMED!

While in the exam room at my last endo there was a poster (by the makers of synthroid) that walked through symptoms of hypo and hyper then ended with " have your TSH tested regularly and take Synthroid blah blah blah " . I almost wrote in there " and have T4/T3 and antibodies checked " and listed out all the vitamins as well!  As well as other choice pieces of graffiti.

 

It is a good thing to know here in the US, so when your doc says " but AACE recommends, blah blah blah " you can point out who they're funded by and that the " association " is biased.
