Outdated Treatment
- Conventional thyroid treatment focuses on managing the disease, not the root cause.
- Restoring blood hormone levels doesn't guarantee cellular thyroid function.
Comprehensive Thyroid Testing
- Run a comprehensive thyroid panel including total and free T4, T3, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies.
- Consider thyroid antibodies as indicators of inflammation and immune response trends.
Antibody Role
- Thyroid antibodies don't directly damage the thyroid gland.
- They're part of the cleanup crew after damage by lymphocytes (white blood cells).
