Armour Thyroid Information for Hashimotos

Interesting information linking gut health to thyroid hormone absorption.

"Animal studies have shown that
levothyroxine (T4) is only partially
absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The
degree of absorption is dependent on the vehicle
used for its administration and by
the character of the intestinal contents, the intestinal flora,
including plasma protein, and soluble dietary factor
s, all of which bind thyroid and thereby make
it unavailable for diffusion."

Do You Have Hypothyroidism Or Hashimoto's Or Both? Did You Know 95% of Hypothyroid Patients Also Have Hashimoto's?

Most cases of hypothyroidism in the United States, Canada, Europe and in most countries that add iodine to their salt supply are caused by Hashimoto's, an autoimmune condition. Depending on the source, estimates are that between 90-97% of those wi

Dr. Wentz is by far, the best resource for thyroid health. This article details the lab tests needed to correctly diagnose thyroid disease. If you actually have Hashimotos but are only diagnosed as hypothyroid, the Hashimotos could easily turn to autoimmune. These test should be standard for ANY thyroid patients.... Unfortunately, most traditional endocrinologist only test TSH or T4.

A layman's guide to understanding thyroid test results.

Understanding thyroid blood tests - TSH, Free T4, Free T3, antibodies, Reverse T3, etc. - what they test for, reference ranges, and what results mean.

It is possible to understand the science behind your thyroid....

'If your TSH falls within the reference range, and you don't have thyroid symptoms, then there is no reason for concern.

HOWEVER, if your TSH falls within the reference range, and you have thyroid signs and symptoms, a family history of thyroid disease, low levels of the key thyroid hormones (T4/T3), or antibodies, your thyroid may not be "normal."

In other words, if your doctor says your results are normal but you still struggle with hot or cold extremes, hair loss, infertility, polycystic ovarian syndrom, extreme weight gain or loss, depression or ANY autoimmune disease, INSIST on a complete thyroid panel.

The Thy-Gap: Why Your Thyroid Labs Might Be Normal When You Really Have Hashimoto’s - Aviva Romm

The correct set of thyroid labs, along with proper interpretation of the results, usually does tell the whole truth about your thyroid health.

Yes!!! if your doctor says your thyroid labs are normal but you still feel like crap, have depression or infertility issues, take the list of labs she details in the blog to your doctor and insist these be checked. Also check b12, d3, iron and iodine levels. Your thyroid will never work properly when you are deficient in these.

Infertility, Miscarriage, and Subclinical Hypothyroidism

I hope this article finds all the women with hypothyroidism struggling with infertility and miscarriage. By NYC reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Hugh Melnick

I have seen numerous friends spend $20-$30K in expensive fertility treatments after heartbreaking miscarriages when a few simple thyroid tests (anti-tpo specifically) could have likely diagnosed the issue as hypothyroid,hyperthyroid or hashimotos.

How Government Killed the Medical Profession

I am a general surgeon with more than three decades in private clinical practice. And I am fed up.

I stole this from another user on here. This article is exactly why traditional endocrinology doesn't work any longer. Patients are being dosed with higher and higher doses of synthroid and levothyroxine with no real results other than having to be dosed higher due to the body acclimating to higher doses without absorbing and using the medication. Physicians have zero incentive to dig further into why their patients still feel like crap.
It's like they all need to watch House and be inspired again.
