So many patients with fibromyalgia, chronic thyroid conditions, disc herniations, sciatica, and chronic neck pain often find blessed relief with the help of a unique medical device named the ATM2 and Cold Laser.
At the time of writing this article, I am sitting in the surgical ICU at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan. My oldest son, Darren was in a bicycle accident the evening before. After his wounds heal and his facial fractures are surgically repaired and the injury to his neck is sufficiently stable, he will be a candidate for some chiropractic care and specialized neurological cranial work called Neuro-Cranial Integration. Combined with specialized nutritional help to aid in the healing of his soft tissues and brain, as well as prayers for healing from friends, family, patients and readers, we expect a positive outcome.

If you are like the many patients who visit a doctor, your chief complaint is fatigue and/or weight gain. Learn how you can regain your zest and improve your overall health and feel younger in the process!
I know in my practice, fatigue is often on of the most common health complaints. Of course fatigue is also one of the main symptoms of hypthyroidism as well. Having low energy robs you of your zest for living and you end up not participating in your once favorite activities. You feel like you are getting old. You don't need to accept this low energy as your new reality.

If you've been reading my blog, you know that sensitivities or intolerances to food, such as gluten, can trigger autoimmune processes in your body. Typically you have to have a genetic predisposition to autoummune attack to begin with, and then exposure to environmental substances (foods) can make your immune system turn against you.

Completing high school and either deciding to pursue a career in the skilled trades, or continuing education in a chosen field through college courses are a couple of paths towards a fulfilling and rewarding career. Most of us have taken one of these paths and have been able to make a living and for some, land their dream job. I feel blessed to be among those who realized the latter.

hypothyroid symptoms
If you are like the dozens of patients who come to see me for help with their stubborn health challenges, you are frustrated beyond belief. Many have low thyroid symptoms even though they are being medically managed with thyroid replacment hormones. Unfortunately this one size fits all approach to dealing with hypothyroidism often falls short, leaving you to continue searching for treatment that can restore your zest for living.

What do you do when you have symptoms of hypothyroidism, but your doctor says your thyroid levels are normal? You may have one of three lesser known causes of this frustrating condition.
If you are like many of the patients who I work with to track down the elusive culprit, your many symptoms are often treated with medications. Some of the most common hypothyroid symptoms are:
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Weight gain or increased difficulty losing weight
- Difficulty swallowing
- Coarse, dry hair
- Dry, rough pale skin
- Thinning hair on scalp/hair loss
- Loss of body hair
- Cold intolerance (you can't tolerate cold temperatures like those around you)
- Muscle cramps and frequent muscle aches
- High Cholesterol
- Constipation
- Depression
- Irritability
- Memory loss
- Inability to concentrate
- Abnormal menstrual cycles/Heavy period
- Infertility
- Decreased libido
