WELCOME from RICK MAYNARD

It's my intention as the author of "Your Thyroid and You" to open - mindedly publish the answers to questions that have been predominate in the struggles and frustrations of having a Thyroid condition, directly focusing on areas that have proven over time to be beneficial in on going Thyroid support, with the.................www.junk/removed/

The  site  is constantly  being  developed as a resource of  Thyroid  Australia (Brisbane) to assist any one who has been diagnosed and wants to become aware of what their Thyroid means to them, within the pursuit of improved health and well being.

The overall design of this site is a clean, uncluttered direct and responsive facility, easily navigated and user friendly.

For over twenty years Thyroid Australia Ltd  helped people with Thyroid conditions and recognising the importance to include relatives and friends within in the support structure, helping to keep relationships and friend ships in tact through the long and usually trying times of Thyroid treatment.

Thyroid Australia (Brisbane) in our 18 pluss years of public support is committed to that tradition.

The frame work of this web site has been constructed from knowledge of support criteria that is known to be beneficial to the improvement of quality of life for people with all types of Thyroid conditions.

No alternative (without scientific foundation) medical practices will ever be published or discussed as main stream therapies for Thyroid support by Thyroid Australia (Brisbane), not for public knowledge or any other reason, simply because -  “ Modern therapies would never have been considered if the old remedies had worked ”.

There are no herbal or other alternative therapies that will 'cure' Hashimoto's or rebuild the thyroid or rebuild thyroid function (except small amounts of iodine in the case of iodine deficiency). Any therapies that promise any of these things are simply rubbish and are potentially dangerous. The natural desicated hormone must be obtained as an extract from the thyroid of some animal.

The quality of supplements is up to the manufacturer and not all of them are honourable or even careful. Batches of herbs are often imported from third world countries where they may have been grown or harvested in questionable surroundings and treated with unknown chemicals.

A vast majority of the herbal and related remedies that are now promoted  were the foundation of the medical treatment of thyroid disease in the past. They have fallen by the wayside because they do not work or do not work as well as the current mainstream therapies.

One area that always is a contentious issue is the ability to communicate with medical professionals, who may or may not be up to speed with the development of a large range of underlying health issues, contributed to by a Thyroid condition.

As you drift through the pages of “Your Thyroid and You”, it will become obvious that the insight derived from over 18 years of experience and dedication freely providing Thyroid support across Australia and beyond, that every Thyroid enquiry is treated as personal support for that individual.

The reality is that you are an individual and deserve to be treated as such, not being pigeon holed as a part of the populous but to find the right balance of Thyroid and related health care treatment for you.

 One size does not fit all.

 The sad story is... there are too many desperate people, researching in the wrong places and falling victim to frustration and financial loss, which is about all you get from long and diffuse Thyroid / Health issues by having the very doctors we put our trust into on a different page.I am not condemning all Doctors but some in the medical profession do need a wake up call and show more interest in their patients well being.This is a brief disclosure of over 18 years of ongoing Thyroid and related medical conditions support.
