Here's a dirty little secret most doctors won’t discuss. When a medical test is done, any result within a wide range is deemed normal. The thyroid could be barely functioning at 30% efficiency, but tests will say that’s fine. . Well, it’s not fine. And you have the problems to...
“Now, follow me on this. Who goes to labs to get tested? Sick people. If a lab creates its “normal” range based on test results from sick people, is that really a normal range? Does that tell us anything about what the range should be for health? (For more on the problems with...

The statistical analysis used by TRAM to this aim is hypergeo- metric distribution, a recognised algorithm able to test the probability 'p' that colocalization of over−/underexpressed genes within the same chromosomal segment may be due to chance [17, 50]. A graphical representation of the...

Results of an ACTH response test revealed normal basal plasma cortisol concentration with a suppressed response to stimulation. Plasma endogenous ACTH concentration was below the reference range and results of a high-dose dexamethasone suppression test showed lack of suppression of plasma cortisol, both ...
As a generalization, this is something that makes me nuts. So many conventional doctors do not wish to test or entertain the relevance of thyroid antibodies. To their point, the antibodies aren’t big predictors of thyroid disease actually. They really don’t have that strong an effect upon ...
