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.

Thyroid Problems - Thyroid Nodule


Expert: Robert Arnone, DC - 4/8/2009

Question
I had a thyroid sonogram done because I was coughing and losing my voice, Almost like the cough was scratching my throat I would also get very hoarse for a while.

The right lobe measures 4.5 x 1.2 x 1.5 and the the left 4.4 x 1.2 x 1.5cm.  Lobes normal in size and show homogeneous echotexture.(not sure what that means).
In the right upper pole there is a 1 x .7 x .7 cm hypoechoic nodule. Biopsy of this is recommended. No nodules identified in the left lobe or the isthmus.
I also told my Dr that the right part of my neck was hurting like a stiff neck. she said not to worry its just a stiff neck, but now I have been reading about this nodule and all the symptoms and getting a little scared...I have an appt with a endocrin Dr a for Biopsy--Please let me know what you would do. Thank you Rosie

Answer
Rosie,
If you really want to know what I would do:
I would go to a Cervical Spine Specialist.  This is a Doctor that is trained to locate and correct the cause of your abnormal health conditions without harmful drugs or surgery.  I would get checked to see if there may be some underlying structural damage in the neck that may be causing or at least contributing to the stiff neck and the trouble with the thyroid.  
There is a reason that your body allowed these abnormal cells to proliferate, and to drug them or cut them out or radiate them will NEVER get to the root cause and there fore you will NEVER get well if you go this route.
If you truly want to get well then you have to address the cause of this, not the effects.
If you had the oil light go on while you were driving in your car, would you be content with putting tape over that light so that you didn't see it any longer?  This is covering up the symptom, and this is exactly what you do when you take drugs or cut out effects of the problem.  Obviously if you were driving around your car with tape on the oil light, the problem would not be solved and certainly there would some serious car damage ahead.
Well I am here to tell you that if you walk around with "tape over your oil light" then you will too be like a "bomb waiting to go off".  This is no way to live your life, you were put on this earth to be healthy and well, not to be sick and suffering.
Yours in Best Health,
Dr Robert Arnone
