BLOOD TESTS RESULTS FOR THYROID FUNCTION ARE OPEN TO MISINTERPRETATION AND THEREFORE PATIENTS ARE MIS-DIAGNOSED WITH DISEASES THEY DO NOT HAVE.

YOU MAY HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH ANY ONE OF THE DISEASES LISTED BELOW!

HEART DISEASE

A deficiency of thyroid hormone can cause cardiovascular disease and aggravate many pre-existing conditions .Ref: AMERICAN HEART JOURNAL 1998. Thyroid Hormone and Cardiovascular Disease Ref: THE LANCET 1959 Prophylaxis of Ischaemic Heart Disease by Thyroid Therapy

M.E./CF

The signs and symptoms that present with M.E. are exactly the same as are presented with thyroid dysfunction. The same triggers as thyroid dysfunction such as, viruses, shock, stress, etc can bring about ME/CFS/PVS

Many years ago blood testing became available for thyroid function and reference ranges were set. Doctors determined that if a patient was within the parameters of the reference range then he/she had normal thyroid function even if there was outstanding evidence to the contrary. Over a period of time doctors came to rely on the blood test results more and more. Signs and symptoms then became obsolete. Over a period of time it was evident that there were many people suffering with a condition that was affecting the muscles, the brain and the central nervous system. This condition was then named M.E. (myalgic of the muscles, encephalo of the brain and myelitis of the central nervous system)

I believe that the medical profession has brought about the condition of ME
because of their own inefficiency.

Thyroid blood test results are misinterpreted. So in essence many patients with a thyroid condition are undiagnosed. The majority of these undiagnosed thyroid sufferers have been pigeonholed into other muscular, neurological or psychological diseases or indeed ME!
