Thyroid ( was Re: new member)

I think the tests are flawed. TSH is made by the pituitary gland yet it is the

measure for thyroid activity. You may fit in the range but does the TSH make

T3? The whole endocrine system is involved. Adrenal fatigue has to be dealt

with. Iodine deficiency has to be considered. Diet and supplementation are

important. Digestion is effected and that has to be dealt with so that

nutrients are assimilated. Doctors don't all do these things. It can be very

easy or very complicated depending on the severity of hypothyroid.
