Conventional wisdom re: AMERICA'S MOST COMMON ILLNESS is largely a myth. THYROID is not a small isolated issue affecting a few old ladies. This is a major epidemic, affecting men, women, young and old. It occurs in one out of every 10 to 12 adults, and as many as one out of every 4 post-menopausal ladies. Most patients' and their doctor's understanding of the condition is equally mythological. There is no one best thyroid blood test, and no one best thyroid medicine.
