- Like hypothyroidism it is important to assess all factors contributing to the dysfunction of the thyroid. A naturopathic approach is one that includes not only thyroid hormone panels, but an assessment of the entire endocrine system, especially in women. Conventional treatments often make use of invasive surgeries followed up by supplementation of thyroid hormone to “balance” hormones. Often people who have had these treatments feel like they never fully recover as the therapies are irreversible. Again, before opting for thyroid surgery ensure that a full assessment has been performed. A variety of therapies including botanicals, neural therapy, and spinal assessment and manipulation should be considered before surgical ablation.
- Dr. Atkins stresses the importance of removing obstacles of healthy endocrine functioning while providing nutrients and other factors as part of a thyroid treatment protocol. For more information or to schedule a consultation call 250.381.1234.
