Also related is the epidemic of hypothyroidism that doctors have been taught since the seventies to diagnose by the blood test (TSH) instead of the patient's symptoms and family history and to treat with synthetic T4 which does nothing for most people but makes the blood test look good instead of old-fashioned, inexpensive desiccated thyroid hormone (glandular). Hypothyroidism, Type 2-THE EPIDEMIC, Mark Starr, MD
Thank you for sharing your perspective and additional information. Hypothyroidism is indeed a complex condition, and it’s important for individuals to discuss their symptoms and treatment options thoroughly with their healthcare providers. Understanding both modern and traditional approaches can help in managing the condition effectively.
IF you read Dr. Starr's book you will know why "discussing" it with your HCP is a futile endeavor. The Foreword is written by a dentist which makes the futility clear. A small percentage of physicians know how to treat Hypo.... Please explain your perspective of "modern" and "traditional".
@@cassandraseven3478 Thank you for your follow-up. When I mention “modern” approaches, I refer to conventional medical treatments, such as synthetic thyroid hormones like levothyroxine, typically based on standardized testing and guidelines. “Traditional” approaches can include methods like desiccated thyroid hormone and other alternative therapies that some patients find beneficial. It’s important for individuals to explore different options and see what works best for them, ideally with a healthcare provider who is knowledgeable and open to various treatment methods. Your input highlights the need for more physicians to be well-versed in diverse treatment approaches. I don't know much about Dr. Starrs book but I am always interested in a variety of approaches.
@@EWphysicaltherapyandwellness Thank you. By all means read Dr. Starr's book, anyone who reads it will know more about thyroid than the average allopath. Oil Baron John D Rockefeller commissioned the Flexner Report early in the 20th C then set about making petrochemicals the only approved method of disease care.; that's when traditional medicine became conventional medicine. In 2000 an article in JAMA (Journal of American Medical Association) : US Healthcare Third Leading Cause of Death. Broken down, the chief category was correctly prescribed pharmaceuticals. Once again, the synthetic thyroid hormones do nothing for most people but make the blood test look good. The person remains an untreated hypothyroid with symptoms still in place. The uneducated doctor can then say that means your symptoms were not caused by hypothyroidism but we have plenty of pharmaceuticals to manage them for the rest of your life.
Ever since the jab my wife and I get dizzy, stumble a lot, are weak, have no stamina and suffer from “brain fog” It’s not like us to give in to confirmation bias but we can’t help but wonder if this is coincidence. My wife has suffered body wide inflammation ever since a week following the Covid 19 vaccine.
