Undiagnosed low thyroid epidemic affects possible 70% of population, causing serious health problems A new study by Dr. E. Chester Ridgway, the University of Colorado’s chief endocrinologist, says that an estimated 13 million Americans may haveundiagnosed thyroid problems, up from previous estimates. He says that even mild thyroid problems might cause serious consequences. Pregnant women with underactive thyroid are in jeopardy of having children with lower IQs.

Research shows that low thyroid levels can raise cholesterol levels, thus raising the threat of a heart attack. In his April 10, 2000 news release, Dr. Ridgway said that people don’t realize what a big problem this is and how important it is to get the word out.

Excessive Monthly Bleeding · Endometriosis, Cysts, etc. …and many other symptoms Very few medical doctors understand the undiagnosed thyroid problem or know thatthis situationhasbeengetting progressively worse for many years. Many people have very real and serious symptoms, yet their physicians are unable to truly determine the cause, often treating them for the wrong ailment. Patients are often told that their symptoms are psychosomatic or “all in their head”, and they may be sent to psychiatrists.

Common and often undiagnosed symptoms and dangerous consequences of low thyroid include: serious mental problems,depression,anxiety, seizures, ADD and ADHD (low thyroid is a problem even in young children), poor concentration, mental confusion, memory loss, cold hands and feet, low energy levels, difficult weight loss, migraine headaches, acne, low blood sugar, high cholesterol levels, heart disease, cancer,arthritis,diabetes including misdiagnosis and complications, susceptibility to tuberculosis, lung cancer, emphysema, constipation resulting in colon cancer, susceptibility to infections due to low immunity, all female problems (due to high amounts of dangerous forms of estrogen), including: tumors, fibroids, ovarian cysts, PMS, endometriosis, breast cancer, miscarriage, heavy periods and cramps, etc. A number of years ago, Dr. Broda Barnes, M.D., did extensive studies showing at that time that low thyroid (hypothyroidism) affected 40% of the population.

These studies were extensive and performed upon very large segments of the population. Other doctors that since have followed his work are noticing that the problem is rapidly increasing, and they are now seeing the problem in as high as 70% of the population.
