Since thyroxin (T4) was discovered in 1915, and thyroid gland hormone (T3) was discovered in 1952, a lot of diseases have been found to be related to the disorder of thyroid gland secretion.

Medical investigations showed that the mistaken diagnosis rate of thyroid gland diseases to that of other diseases is up to 60%. And it makes the doctors and patients go on the wrong direction together. The following are some situations which are often misdiagnosed:

1) The heart beats and pulse are unusual, cardialgia ......Misdiagnosed as "Heart disease"
2) Easy excitement, anxiety, unusual mood...... Misdiagnosed as "Mental diseases"
3) The month period is unusual, more sweating ……Misdiagnosed as "Obstacle in menopause"
4) Diarrhea……Misdiagnosed as the disease of digestive organs, such as acute enteritis, etc.
5) Hands and feet become limp, muscular dystrophy……Misdiagnosed as the muscle, neural disease
6) Ordinary vitiligo, skin to itches……Misdiagnosed as dermatology diseases

Famous doctors of thyroid gland in U.S.A…….Burrows Bond, in a book which summarizes his experience in thyroid diseases in past 35 years. He got a famous statement that “Thyroid problem is the ROOT of all diseases”. That means almost all the diseases can find certain relation with the secretion of Thyroid Gland. He always emphases the important function of thyroid gland as health source of body. That is just like a thunder reminding people how important their thyroid gland is. He points out that many common diseases all involved in thyroid gland dysfunction. For example, having a headache regularly, easy infection of respiration organ, the rheumatism and bone-ache, sterile without reason, fish scale form skin, eczema, psoriasis, acne.

The thyroid gland is butterfly shape gland lying in the middle of our shank. Normally, thyroid can secrete suitable hormone to accurately control other hormone secretion and the functioning of our heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney.

The secretion of thyroid hormone and their amount, and the rate to our bloodstream is controlled by a feed back system of pituitary. The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) secreted by pituitary can stimulate the secretion of thyroid. If thyroid secrets too much or too little hormone, then our body will suffer from various kinds of diseases.

Hypothyroidism can be taken as a car of no fuel. Patients will react slowly, poor in memory, losing hair, gaining weight, be dropsical, feel cold and having constipation phenomena. Hyperthyroidism can be taken as a car full of fuel. Patients feel full of power at the beginning stage. All the organs are running very fast in their body. So they always feel hot, much sweat than normal, fast heart beat, and they cannot sleep well at night, have the feeling of neurotic easily. They feel easy to be angry, and they lost weight. Their eyes protrude.

The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland, located in the neck, wrapped around the windpipe, behind and below the Adam's apple area. The thyroid produces several hormones, two of which are the key: triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones help oxygen get into cells, and make your thyroid master gland of metabolism. Once released by the thyroid, the T3 and T4 travel through the bloodstream. The purpose is to help cells convert oxygen and calories into energy.

The thyroid is part of a huge feedback process. The hypothalamus in the brain releases Thyrotropin-releasing Hormone (TRH). The release of TRH tells the pituitary gland to release Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). This TSH, circulating in your bloodstream, is what tells the thyroid to make thyroid hormones and release them into your bloodstream.

When our body absorb and accumulate the excessive pollution toxin, it will make thyroid malfunction and cause disorder of thyroid secretion. The most common results are hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. These two kinds of thyroid diseases will cause a lot of complication, such as the hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis), thyroid tumors, clogged arteries, sex dysfunction, feeling tired and exhausted.

Sometimes, our immune system may also stimulate the secretion of thyroid gland similar to TSH. It makes the thyroid gland to secret the hormone in large amount which is out of control. The situation like this is hyperthyroidism.
