Sub-clinical Hypothyroidism

Paul Bergner Spring 2012

90 minutes 1/5 CEU credit

Sub clinical hypothyroidism (SCH) a common condition three times or more prevalent than simple hypothyroidism. In SCH the circulating thyroid hormones are normal but thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) are elevated indicating that the thyroid is receiving a hormonal signal to make more thyroid hormones. In most cases, SCH does not progress to hypothyroidism. We describe the normal signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism (which may or may not be present in SCH), some pathological, nutritional, and dietary factors in hypothyroidism, and the potential roles of medicinal herbs in the condition. We discuss the controversy among practitioners about the diagnosis of SCH and the medical ethics or prescribing thyroid hormone inappropriately.
