Thyroid Disorders Are Widespread but Misunderstood

The Most Common Thyroid Disorder in the United States is Autoimmune Thyroid

In the United States today, thyroid disorders affect more than 20 million Americans, or more than 16% of the population.  Women are 5-8 more likely to develop a thyroid disorder than men.  However, most people don’t realize that many thyroid disorders are autoimmune in nature and require special care.

Pharmaceutical treatments such as Synthroid or Levothyroxine, focus exclusively on the thyroid and leave the immune system entirely out of the picture.  Many doctors never disclose to their patients that their thyroid condition is an autoimmune disease because there are no medications that they can prescribe for this problem.

Conventional Treatment of Thyroid Disorders is Ineffective at Best

Though millions of Americans suffer from thyroid disorders, up to 60% of these individuals are undiagnosed.  These people never receive the treatment that they need.  For patients that do receive a diagnosis, they often find the the medication they are given fails to resolve all of their symptoms like weight gain, tired, hot flashes, sleep problems etc.  These same patients continue to experience fatigue long after their blood work has begun to register as “normal.”  That is a warning sign that you need to do some more investigating.

If you are frustrated and at the point where you want answers, consider that blood work will not reveal what is causing your thyroid disorder.  It will give some basic information, however blood work results are limited.  The DNA Uprint finds and corrects the cause to your symptoms, rather than masking your symptoms with medications.
