About Robert Arnone, DC
Expertise
I can answer any questions regarding Thyroid Trouble either Hypo or Hyper. I can also explain to you how this may have happened to you and more importantly how you can get well.

Experience
I have helped many women and some men with Thyroid Conditions. Most of them were able to get completely off of the harmful medications that weren't correcting the cause of their problem anyway. If all of these people were able to get well, then why not you too? I may be able to find you a qualified Upper Cervical Specific Doctor in your area to help locate and correct the cause.

Question
Hello Doctor,       

I am a 33 year old very healthy mother of two (3.5 years and 8 months) who felt a lump on my neck at the end of October 2008. Went to my family doctor the next day and just by touching it she thought it was little less than 1cm. She ordered blood work (which came back normal) and ultrasound on November 12. This is where one 2.9cm complex nodule was found on the left side of my thyroid gland. She sent me to Endocrinologist who thought that I am at low risk of having a thyroid cancer but ordered a FNA because of it size. Had that done by Othorhinolaryngologist on January 20 and he also sent me for another ultrasound that was done on February 6. Biopsy came back negative but ultrasound had some new findings. 3.4cm single complex nodule with come micro calcifications and another small 3-4mm nodule on my right side of thyroid. Because of those 2 new findings (calcifications and smaller nodule), size of the big nodule and rapidity of its growth, he recommends at least left side of my thyroid removed if not the whole gland itself (to reduce risk of having another surgery for the other side of thyroid in case smaller nodule starts changing).        Now, I must say that I would not like to have this surgery so fast! This nodule does not bother me at all and I haven't noticed any growth in the past month. What do you recommend? Having half or the whole thyroid removed or simply leaving it the way it is unless some other changes occur?      

many thanks from Toronto

Answer
ved,
I realize that they are finding some abnormalities in your Thyroid and all that they know is to drug it or to cut it out.  those choices are not very safe nor effective and so I would recommend that unless you are in a Life or Death situation, you hold off on those 2 choices for the time being.
Now, there is something that you could do which would greatly improve your odds of not ever needing those choices again, or you can just wait and see and hope that things turn out all right.  I highly recommend the former.
The work that we do at our St Louis Clinic is completely focused upon locating and correcting the cause of your abnormal function.  We are able to do this because I concentrate solely upon your Brainstem and check if it is functioning correctly or having trouble or interference there.  Your brainstem runs every cell, tissue, gland, and organ in your body and so if there is trouble in your brainstem then there is certainly trouble elsewhere.
Your thyroid troubled is most likely an effect of your brainstem interference and mis-communication.  You see, if the messages from your brain and brainstem are distorted to your thyroid, then how in the world could we expect your thyroid to function correctly?
We need to locate and measure the interference in the brainstem which is caused by the Upper Cervical Spine and then we need to correct it, and maintain it in correction long enough for the communication to be restored and for your thyroid to function normally once again.
Yours in Best Health,
