Re: Lab Results

Sorry to say this, but IMO, docs could not find hypothyroid if it bit them in the nose. Trapper is correct.

Here is the most valuable document ever written on the thyroid.

TSH is a worthless measurement:
STTM
Not only are patients with OBVIOUS hypothyroid symptoms being told they have no thyroid problem because of a “normal” TSH, they are being held hostage to the TSH range when on thyroid medications, even though the patient continues to have typical hypothyroid symptoms while in the range. Not only has the TSH lab failed to reveal that we were ALREADY hypothyroid, it fails us when we are dosing our medication. In other words, the TSH is thoroughly unrelated to how we feel!
Bottom line: TSH lab gets an “F” on the thyroid report card, as do doctors who use it. Complete details:

You were on the right track. Taking Iodine with ALL of the required co-supplements is exactly what the thyroid needs to recover. ESPECIALLY SELENIUM. The (selenium) selenomethionine is critical.
