Thyroid

[Tevan5]

Putting aside for the moment, the question of mad cows and regulated dosages, can you lower your TSH with Raw Thymus Concentrate?
My next question is, should a person have any antibodies to their thyroid? Is there really a "normal" range for antibodies.
And!, sorry, If I can't trust most doctors to regard the new paradigm for normal TSH (ranging between 2& 3 at the high end) can I trust their normals for all the other tests, T4, T3 ect.  
Would you be willing to print or link what are the "latest greatest"  numbers for all tests here.  I've tried searching the site but can't find them.  I only find that you tend to bring your patients down to a TSH of 2.
Thank you for your time

Thank you very much for straight answers,  they appear very rarely these days.

I don't think raw thymus would significantly effect TSH (unless you meant raw thyroid).  There are acceptable Ab ranges -- I appreciate the question, as you would think there should be none, but low titres of Ab's against your own bodies proteins appear to be the case in some situations.

aace.com and thyroid.org should have position statements.  My target range is 0.5-2.0 for most patients on replacement.
