Thyroid Rescue 911 Review
And so you give a little blood for a few Thyroid Rescue 911 Review tests, and our scenarios start. The big kahuna of thyroid blood tests is the misbegotten TSH thyroid-stimulating hormone test, our topic here. Here's the theory behind the test: The pituitary gland, which controls the thyroid and every other part of the endocrine system, creates TSH to tell the thyroid gland when to make thyroid hormone.
If the pituitary decides you have enough thyroid hormone in your system, it quits ordering more. The TSH results land in the normal range. If you're producing too much thyroid hormone, the pituitary backs off any TSH and puts out a factor that tells the thyroid to knock it off. The TSH comes in low.
If you don't have enough thyroid hormone racing through your cells, the pituitary pours out more and more TSH to get the thyroid gland to do its duty. TSH results show up anywhere between high normal and the stratosphere.Based on that theory, one quick look at the TSH results decides your thyroid fate.
If the TSH is within normal range, supposedly you're fine. Problem is, nobody agrees on what the normal range is. Chances are you're not at one extreme or the other-although the TSH test isn't reliable, so who knows-but that doesn't mean you're home free. You don't have to be far off the mark to in trouble. For instance, even mild hypothyroidism explodes your chances of heart disease, but you may still be in the normal range.
