The above has been posted in the past but I think many who've not read it will find it very interesting indeed. Especially one whose dose is restricted due to their TSH result.
(due to Dr Lowe's death his website was closed and therefore you cannot open link).
This is the truth! And extremely helpful. TSH alone is worthless, let me explain why! No I have not read this yet. Sorry. I will. My TSH has been high for 2 years, no matter if I raised my T4 or not! There are some people whoms their TSH will not read correctly, 1. High Estrogen Levels
2. People whom have Antibodies to the HAMA (Human Anti-Mouse Antibody) have interference in their TSH results because most TSH test assays use mouse antibodies. They have a special varient test called “TSH with HAMA” that a physician will have to order.
Free T3 & Free T4 is the most reliable Thyroid Test today. Please share and pass it on.
How to convince doctor that TSH is not the most important lab result?
Dr. Melnick discusses alarming article from Harvard about the use of the TSH and thyroid treatment!
Treatment will not change unless the use of TSH as the prime diagnostic target is realised to be inadequate
3 months into Dr P's protocol, 2 months of candida diet - still not feeling good but now TSH is very suppressed??? CONFUSED!
Blood test TSH came back on a routine blood test 5.460 and the reference range is 0.450-4.500 marked above high normal. could it be wrong
