Thyroid Disorders Continue to be Under-diagnosed
It is estimated that up to 10 million cases of thyroid dysfunction go overlooked or undiagnosed every year, an issue compounded by standard blood tests which lack the sensitivity and sophistication to diagnose these conditions accurately.

Staying 17 Years Ahead of Conventional Medicine
According to the Annals of Internal Medicine and the Journal of American Medical Association, the majority of physicians are not up-to-date with the latest research. In fact, it was found that physicians are, on average, 17 years behind the research, meaning that they are diagnosing and treating with outdated and unreliable techniques. The incidence of complex illnesses is becoming a world-wide epidemic, which most physicians are ill-equipped to handle. Unfortunately, the medical world is driven by insurance, which derails most doctors’ ability to spend the time needed to fully evaluate, accurately diagnose, and carefully treat patients.
All of our members at NAHIS are avid reviewers of the most current medical literature and research. The foundation’s medical director, Dr. Kent Holtorf, who struggled personally with severe thyroid problems, has trained numerous physicians across the country on effective treatment protocols and diagnostics for complex patients with endocrine dysfunctions such as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and fibromyalgia (FM). Dr. Holtorf has a network of centers dedicated to treating these disorders as well as a journal club for group discussions regarding new and relevant clinical studies.
Instead of relying on old dogma, the best physicians will seek out and translate both basic science results and clinical outcomes to decide on the safest, most efficacious treatment for their patients. Further, the best physicians will continually assess the current available data to decide which therapies are likely to carry the greatest benefits for patients and involve the lowest risks.
