Dr Oz of the Oprah Winfrey Show has now changed his tune with regard to the treatment of thyroid gland problems.

27 million Americans have a thyroid problem (only half know it) - that's a lot!

"if you're on Synthroid and it's not working for you, then we may have to switch you to... Armour/NDT

how refreshing!

& 100 million Americans have Vitamin D deficiency - "Vitamin D is so important is it reduces autoimmune responses. That's probably the number one reason we have inadequate thyroid hormone... "

(bear in mind optimal USA measure is 50 ng/ml - which equals 125 nmol/l in UK)

There is also a Test kit you can get from the Vitamin D Council now.

£32 ($50 ) or City assays (b'ham UK) £33 abroad £28 in UK - "well" worth it!

I can't get Dr Oz's 'good morning america' vid to load - tried youtube, not there yet...

The last video gives a date of 2014.

He has certainly changed his tune. (Is there big money to be had by now 'diagnosing' properly).

Your first one was in 2010.

Would be nice to think that other doctors would listen to him too.

The others are afraid of getting reprimanded. Oz is lucky he has a great income with his talk shows. At least he has changed his tune, so that's of a great benefit to us.
