@4:20 .... I am so much disappointed by the non-sense approach of doing only limited tests (testing TSH only and not T3 & T4). Why? To save $10. Ridiculous. As a scientist or rationalist one should take out all to markers into account. Just go and read statistics about how many times Medical Practitioners missed an abnormal Thyroid because they did not carry full Thyroid Panel and Antibodies...
completely agree-- how ridiculous that only recent post-TT patients "should" get the detailed thyroid markers. OUTRAGEOUS in fact. This is why so many thyroid patients are improperly medicated/treated and SUFFER. :(
Why are modern Dr.s not asking why is the thyroid being attacked? Also she talks about high tsh as above normal 10 or so mine was 530 yet my Dr tested for nothing else. Give a drug and go away.
I religiously take Levothyroxine for 13 years, without food etc, and now TSH is 16, but T4 and T3 normal, but TPOAg and TGAg are very high. So autoimmune showing but what can be done? No one seems to give ways to sort this, especially as it affects cholesterol/heart and kidneys. This is so frustrating....
This woman is part of the problem. Not doing a full panel of thyroid test just because someone took their medicine that morning which may drive up free T4 is not a good reason to not order these tests if someone is still feeling badly. I get tired of this and so many people go on for months and years feeling sick because their doctor didn’t want to do a full thyroid panel and do not understand other things that affect the absorption of thyroid hormone.
Before i watching this video i had this on my mind antibodies means its going to destruct the gland but here i understood there is an stimulating antibodies exist too..
1000% many of these providers will never understand or expand their minds until it happens to them personally... TSH-only monitoring is especially problematic for post-thyroidectomy patients, esp with other health conditions that may affect thyroid hormone conversion or deficiencies in cofactors 🤦♀ The confidence with which she conducts her presentation is disturbing because she is teaching this highly inadequate approach to other providers. 😣
So what would you suggest a patient do if they have Hypothyroidism and a Rathke Cleft cyst is found on their pituitary gland? Would Glutathione IV drip work to reverse it? Or surgery to remove the cyst?
Antibiotic thyroid medicine from Dr emuakhe on RU-vid from Africa vanished my thyroid case and haven't seen any reoccurrence to date, you're truly an epitome of good treatment..
Great presentation, but hard to listen to. I wish the people who understand the science actually cared for people's health and applied their gift to figure out how to make people healthy, not just test for one marker and shove a medication into them because the pharma is paying for it!
I agree. The average GP is lost when it comes to interpreting thyroid results and if the numbers are in the normal range they think everything is fine. There is a ratio that is very important to consider.
