What’s important to understand is that there are a number of extraneous factors that
can effectively turn down the water pressure and lower TSH without addressing and
correcting the kinks to your thyroid hormone pathway. So, you can manipulate and
lower your TSH a number of ways, but that doesn’t mean that you’re getting the right
thyroid hormone to your cells or that your thyroid function has improved.
In many cases there are extraneous hormonal influences that can lower your TSH level
and make it appear as if your thyroid is functioning normally, while in reality you are still
very hypothyroid.
Some of these include the hormonal influences of…

Feedback Effect of Thyroid Hormones
Regardless of whether you realize it or not, most hypothyroidism sufferers who are
treated using the standard medical treatment today of prescribing inactive T4 thyroid
hormone medications like Synthroid or Levothyroxine are directly experiencing the
feedback effect of thyroid hormones.
Simply taking a T4 only thyroid medication will effectively lower TSH, but most people
have a kink in their thyroid hormone pathway that prevents them from converting that T4
into the active T3 thyroid hormone that their cells need. So, they medicate and
effectively lower their TSH, but they continue to fail to deliver the right thyroid hormone
to their cells and remain hypothyroid regardless of what their test indicates.
This is one of the biggest downfalls of modern thyroid testing today and will be
discussed in more detail a little later in this report.
There are even studies showing that 90% of hypothyroidism sufferers treated with the
standard medical treatment continue to suffer from fatigue and various other
hypothyroidism symptoms without improvement.
