Dear Thyroid Sufferer,
Find Out Why over 90% of Women On Thyroid
Medications WILL CONTINUE TO SUFFER With
Symptoms... and What You Can Do To FINALLY End
Your Suffering!
Some 20 million Americans are affected by thyroid disorders…that’s
1 in 13 people! And more than half of those people are unaware they have
a thyroid problem because it frequently goes undiagnosed…until it gets
severe.
According to the National Women’s Health Information Center, 1 in 8
women will experience a thyroid disorder during their lifetime. The reason
why may surprise you because I’m sure you’ve never heard it explained to
you…that’s because most doctors are only vaguely familiar with thyroid
disorders.
My name is Dr. Tyler Hamel and I am a Board-Certified Chiropractor.
I have an advanced clinical nutrition certification where I have spent over
400+ hours studying underlying causes and natural protocols to help
people turn around there thyroid disorders. I use a different approach in
diagnosing and treating thyroid disorders. But first, let me give you some
background. I have been practicing chiropractic and advanced clinical
nutrition for over 15 years. The reason I got into nutrition was because
most all of my chiropractic patients had some kind of chronic health
condition that was not getting better just using chiropractic adjustments.
Using nutrition, I give the patient specific protocols to help the body heal
and repair, to get organs and glands working up to par again. I have seen
countless patients with hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and more
commonly these days Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. Americans are so stressed
and undernourished these days that their bodies are breaking down and
chronic illnesses are increasing at an alarming rate.
So I’m intimately familiar with the treatment of chronic conditions
using what I know about nutrition and physiology, and how to get people
better without using medication.
After studying more about thyroid disorders, I realized how poorly
diagnosed and treated thyroid conditions are. I also noticed a very
disturbing trend in the current treatment approach for these conditions,
which I’ll reveal in a moment…
First, let’s learn more about how the thyroid works...
In healthy people, the thyroid makes just the right amounts of two
hormones, T3 and T4. These hormones have important actions throughout
the body. Most importantly, they regulate many aspects of our metabolism,
affecting how many calories we burn, how warm we feel, how much we
weigh…and our general well-being.
In short, the thyroid "runs" our metabolism—it’s
literally the “gas pedal” of the body.
Thyroid hormones also have direct effects on most organs, including
the heart which beats faster and harder under the influence of increased
thyroid hormones (this is why heart problems can often accompany chronic
thyroid problems in women, and perhaps why heart problems are more
common in women under the age of 50).
T3 is the more biologically active hormone (it’s more important for
cellular function), and in fact most of T4 (80%) is converted to T3 in the
liver and stomach. So T4 is just a precursor for the more active hormone,
T3.
One of the problems in some thyroid disorders is that you may have
trouble converting T4 to T3 in your tissues (have you been checked for
this?). This can create a deficiency of T3, disrupting the body’s ability to
properly regulate metabolism…leading to specific symptoms.
One of the controversial aspects of the most common thyroid
medication, Synthroid, is that it is only T4. If you have difficulty converting
T4 to T3 (and Synthroid is a synthetic form of T4, mind you) then this
medication is not as effective.
Iodine is the primary element of T3 and T4 (T3 contains three iodine
molecules and T4 contains four iodine molecules, respectively). This
makes iodine essential to the production of these two important thyroid
hormones.

Here’s a little known public fact related to iodine: in addition to the
thyroid gland, iodine is also involved in ovarian function, and a deficiency
has been linked to ovarian cysts and even ovarian cancer.
In addition, iodine is important for normal breast tissue and
deficiencies have been linked to breast cancer.
Why is this relevant? Some people postulate that the primary reason
for an increased incidence of thyroid disorders in women is due to the fact
that their breast tissue and ovaries compete with the thyroid gland for any
available iodine. Hmmm…
Many studies suggest we do not get an adequate amount of iodine—
especially in the Midwest. This area is notorious for low iodine levels and
used to be known as the “Goiter Belt” as a result (a goiter is when the
thyroid gland enlarges due to lack of iodine)!
Before we go any further, let’s cover the three primary types of
thyroid conditions:
#1: Hypothyroidism
#2: Hyperthyroidism or Grave’s
#3: Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
Symptoms of Hypothyroidism (slow thyroid)
 Do you feel fatigued, tired or sluggish?
 Do you have cold feet and/or hands?
 Do you require excessive amounts of sleep to
function?
 Do you gain weight easily or have difficulty
losing weight?
 Do you have difficult or infrequent bowel
movements (constipation)?
 Are you depressed?
 Do you lack motivation?
 Do you suffer from morning headaches that
wear off as the day progresses?
 Do you suffer from thinning hair or excessive
hair falling out?
 Do you suffer from dryness of the skin and/or
scalp?
 Do you suffer from mental sluggishness?
Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the body lacks sufficient
thyroid hormones. Since the main purpose of thyroid hormones is to "run
the body's metabolism," it is logical that people with this condition will have
symptoms associated with a slow metabolism.
Millions of Americans have this more common medical
condition…and it often goes undetected in the early stages. Were you told
that your results were “normal” and yet you continue to have symptoms?
Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism or Grave’s
Disease (overfunctioning thyroid)
 Do you experience heart palpitations?
 Do you suffer from inward trembling?
 Do you have an increased pulse even at
rest?
 Are you nervous and/or emotional?
 Do you suffer from insomnia?
 Do you experience night sweats?
 Do you have difficulty gaining weight?
Hyperthyroidism is the medical term to describe an over production of
thyroid hormones. Although this condition is less common, it can
precede a slowing down of the thyroid. It’s usually easier to treat
though.
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is a condition in which the
body’s immune system attacks the thyroid gland (this is an
auto-immune disorder).
It is diagnosed by checking for thyroid antibodies
(TPO & TGB) and gluten antibodies.
Patients suffering from Hashimoto’s thyroiditis will
experience symptoms of hypothyroidism AND
hyperthyroidism…MEANING they will experience some or
ALL of the above symptoms.
Since the thyroid gland controls the body’s metabolism, it can affect
all of the systems of the body such as the gut, liver, gall bladder, hormones,
cholesterol, brain (via neurotransmitters), adrenal glands, breasts, ovaries,
and heart.
This is EXACTLY why your thyroid NEEDS to function at its
optimal level.
Now, back to that disturbing trend I observed concerning the
treatment of thyroid conditions…the disturbing trend: most thyroid sufferers
are treated exactly the same!
This really bothers me because I understand from my knowledge of
neurology that no two people react the same…especially with endocrine
dysfunction.
Then why are all thyroid sufferers treated the
same???
Did you know that there are MANY different blood tests that can be
analyzed in order to determine exactly how your thyroid is affected? Most
doctors just use the same old blood tests and never bother checking
beyond those.
We CAN treat your thyroid condition naturally and you may not
need any medication at all.
DON’T get me wrong, I am NOT here to tell you to stop taking
your current medications. Our office would NEVER do that!
We actually work WITH your M.D. to get you feeling better as quickly
as possible. How?
We use very specific blood tests, which may include any or all of the
following, depending on individual determination:
 Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): the message sent from a
gland in the brain (pituitary) to the thyroid
 Free T3: an important hormone produced by the thyroid gland,
considered to be the more biologically active hormone of the thyroid
 Free T4: another important hormone produced by the thyroid gland
 Thyroid Antibodies (TGB & TPO): checked in suspected cases of
autoimmune thyroid disorders (see below)
 Reverse T3: this is a wayward (or “reverse”) version of T3 and
causes problems
 Total T4: this is a reflection of how much total T4 hormone there is in
the blood
 Free Thyroxine Index (FTI): this is an estimate of how much
thyroxine is in the blood
 Resin T3 Uptake: this test measures the unsaturated binding sites
on the thyroid proteins
 Complete Metabolic Profile (CMP): checks electrolytes, blood
sugar, and other markers that can indicate any disturbances in
physiology
 Lipid Panel: cholesterol, LDL, HDL, etc. because these can be
related to endocrine dysfunction
 Complete Blood Count (CBC) w/differential: this checks your cells
counts—white blood cells, red blood cells, and so forth as well as a
specific breakdown of certain white cells that can indicate an often
overlooked pattern of endocrine change
 Urinalysis: sometimes we discover substances your body is
eliminating in the urine that shouldn’t be there
We ALSO test to see if you have an autoimmune disease. An
autoimmune disease is where your immune system attacks a particular
area of the body (like the thyroid, for instance), so we test for specific
thyroid antibodies to determine if YOU suffer from an autoimmune thyroid
disease.
We can also check for gluten antibodies, myelin (fatty sheath around
the nerves) antibodies, cerebellar (back part of the brain controlling
balance, coordinated movement, and spinal muscles) antibodies.
Additionally we can test your adrenal glands (small glands on top of
the kidneys) via an Adrenal Stress Index (ASI), as many thyroid sufferers
also suffer from adrenal problems.
Have you EVER been checked for any of the above
antibodies or had an ASI?
We may choose to enter your blood work into our Functional Blood
Chemistry Analysis software database to determine which nutrients are
best suited to help your SPECIFIC condition.
This will facilitate a more complete and rapid recovery from your
thyroid condition. Remember: NO TWO THYROID PATIENTS ARE ALIKE
SO NOT ALL THYROID PATIENTS SHOULD EVER BE TREATED ALIKE!
Based on your PERSONAL blood chemistry, we can quickly
determine which products will benefit you the most and get you on the road
to recovery.
WHEN NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS ARE
NOT BASED ON YOUR CURRENT BLOOD WORK, THEY ARE MOST
OFTEN INACCURATE!
YOUR SPECIFIC CONDITION MUST BE ANALYZED VIA YOUR
BLOOD CHEMISTRY RESULTS IN ORDER TO MAKE EFFECTIVE
NUTRITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS!
So let’s start with what makes my office
completely DIFFERENT from any doctor that
you have seen up to now…
COMPLETE AND THOROUGH METABOLIC
TESTING:
Has your doctor specifically checked for an autoimmune
disorder or Hashimoto’s disease? There are two parts to
your immune system, TH1 and TH2. IF one of these parts
is dominant, you could have an autoimmune disorder. An
autoimmune disorder is where your immune system is
attacking your body causing your thyroid condition.
The first part, called our "T"-Helper 1 System (TH-1
System), is our immediate immune response system. It is
responsible for an immediate attack against foreign
invaders like bacteria, viruses, mold, fungi, or parasites.
The cells involved in the TH-1 system are called
macrophages, natural killer cells, and cytotoxic T- Cells. It
is our front-line defense.
The other part of our immune system is our T-Helper 2
(TH-2) system. It involves the production of antibodies to
"tag" onto invaders so our TH-1 system can more easily
destroy the invaders. It is our B cells that are responsible
for producing the antibodies.
The balance between these two sides of our immune
system is very important to look at with many thyroid
patients.
IF one of these parts is dominant, you could have an
autoimmune disorder.
An autoimmune disorder is where your immune system is
attacking your body and it could be causing your thyroid
problems. You are just about guaranteed to fail using
medications alone. WHY? 90% of the time the primary
mechanism is your immune system attacking your thyroid,
which is also known as an autoimmune attack.
Medications alone do nothing to slow or stop the auto-
immune attack. Since the autoimmune mechanism is the
most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United
States, you would think that it is commonly screened for
by ALL doctors. Unfortunately, it is rarely, if ever,
checked. The reason? Doctors are too hung up on
treating thyroid problems with medications. Why run extra
tests if you are not going to alter the treatment based off
the test results?
(PLEASE NOTE: AUTOIMMUNE CONDITIONS
TRUMP EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE LISTED
BELOW…IT MUST BE HANDLED FIRST AND
FOREMOST OR YOU WILL NEVER GET
COMPLETELY BETTER!)
2. Has your doctor specifically checked you for any food
sensitivities? Each time that you eat a food that you
are sensitive to such as gluten (wheat, barley, rye, and
oats), dairy, eggs, soy or yeast, it can cause your
immune system to attack your thyroid. THESE FIVE
FOODS COULD BE SLOWLY KILLING YOU AND YOU
DON’T EVEN KNOW IT BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT
BEEN TESTED!
3. Has your doctor run a COMPLETE thyroid panel? Your
thyroid CONTROLS your body metabolism so if you suffer
from thyroid conditions…IT MUST BE THOROUGHLY
CHECKED! I not talking about an simple test for TSH
(Thyroid Stimulating Hormone), I am talking about the
COMPLETE BATTERY OF THYROID TESTS which
includes Total T4 (TT4), Free T4 (FT4), Free T3, Free
Thyroxine Index (FTI), Resin T3 Uptake, Reverse T3,
Thyroid Binding Globulin and the thyroid
antibodies…TPO and TGB! Your THYROID is
EXTREMELY important and needs to be checked! Did
you know that many doctors consider TSH levels from .35
to 5.0 to be “normal.” Optimal or “functional” TSH levels
should be 1.8 to 3.0. What is YOUR TSH level? If it is not
1.8 to 3.0, have you had the FULL battery of thyroid tests?
Has it ever been checked? If not…WHY?
4. Has your doctor checked your adrenal glands? Your
adrenal glands are your “stress” glands and they are JUST
AS IMPORTANT in successfully treating your thyroid!!! An
ASI (Adrenal Stress Index) needs to be run on you which
will check your cortisol levels at 8 am, noon, 4 pm and 10
pm.
5. Has your doctor checked you for blood disorders such
as anemias? Anemia simply means you ARE NOT going
to get oxygen to your tissues. There are different kinds of
anemias such as iron, B12, Folic acid etc. And we can test
for each one. Anemia is very important to find and correct.
Without oxygen available for your brain and nervous
system, most likely, no treatment will work! No supplement
will work. No nutritional program will work.
If you are male have you ever been evaluated for
Andropause?
If you are female has your doctor ever ordered an
expanded female hormone panel?
If you are female and post-menopausal has your doctor
ever assessed your risk factors for developing uterine or
breast cancer?
HORMONE LEVELS ARE VERY IMPORTANT IN
CONTROLLING THYROID CONDITIONS!!!!!
If you answered “NO” to any or all of these
questions then there is a good chance that your
thyroid condition is not being managed properly!!!
THESE TESTS NEED TO BE RUN ON YOU TO
GET TO THE BOTTOM OF YOUR THYROID
PROBLEM!
"How Will I Know That My Body Is
Improving? Will This Work For Me?"
It’s ALL about re-testing. That’s how you and I will both know if you are
improving and if our treatment is working. Our action plan is…test, treat
and re-test.
We can't spend all of this time and effort getting to the root of your problem
and then just hope that our treatment protocols made the changes. We
have to measure, and if necessary, change our treatment, and measure
again. Not that you won't be feeling better as we make these changes, but
we have to measure our change so we keep moving toward the goals we
set together.
It takes time to make these changes because of the test, treat, re-test
scenario. Our job is to get to the root of your problem and correct it.
The reason you are reading this report and you have not been helped is
because no one was willing to sit down and listen to you, no one was
willing to take the time to understand your problem, no one has done a
thorough workup on you, and no one has take the time necessary to make
changes.
"What If It Doesn't Work For Me?"
I will be right up front with you, the number one factor that determines
success and failure with a case, is how closely the patient follows our
care recommendations. If you do the things that I prescribe, then you are
going to go down the road you have been wanting, probably for a long time,
which is...moving toward "normal" again.
You are reading this because you are one of the smart few who wants
to take control of your health, and do what it takes to help your body.
Nothing else matters when you lose your health. I love working with
patients like you because you are willing to sit here and learn about your
problem, and listen, and make the changes necessary to get your health
back on track. To get back to the business of living the good life again.
What About the Cost?
The cost of our initial review of your case and consultation is $197
(but if you schedule your case review within 2 weeks of requesting
this report the cost is $49.00) As we discussed, our protocols steps out of
the "medical box" so we can do what is necessary, and take the time
necessary, to help YOU. Until we know the specifics of your case, what
labs we need to run, and how long we anticipate it taking to make the
functional changes we need, there is no way to say what the cost is going
to be.
Just rest assured that I am on your side. My job is to work with YOU, to
help you improve your condition. My job is to deal with all of the specifics of
your case, listen to you, and work with you to make the proper functional
changes.
Everything can be done in steps. The first step is a case review and
consultation so we can get to specifics.
We have financing available through our office, and many different
payment options to help out-of-pocket expenses have a very minimal
impact on your financial situation. We can make it work.
Your main concern should be on getting well and feeling better again. You
have the rest of your life in this body, and you can be energetic, healthy,
and enjoy it, or suffer with your current symptoms. The best choice is to
get to the cause of your problem!
You can be one of the fortunate few who get the proper support and
management and live well OR you can continue feeling like you do now.
The choice is yours...but the correct option is staring right at you. It's here. I
believe you know in your "gut" that this is what you need to do.
Does Insurance Cover This?
None of our nutritional wellness programs are covered by health insurance
and we do not want to let health insurance dictate how we treat our
patients. We want to offer the best services, supplements and lab tests to
our patients and health insurance will not cover any of this. Health
insurance covers prescription medications which can only manage a
condition or disease, we look to treat the underlying or root cause of the
problem and let the body naturally heal and repair itself.
"I'm Ready To Get On Track, and Start
Feeling Good Again, What Do I Do?"
At this point you should realize that your condition has not been managed
in the most optimal way, and your current medication or therapy protocol is
not going to get you where you want to go. You really should be asking,
“How can I get this type of functional support approach? How can I get the
kind of management you describe?”
"How Does Consulting With Your Office
Work?"
Every new client we work with begins with a case review and consultation
like I spoke of previously. There is only a $49.00 charge to find out if I can
help you IF you call within two weeks of receiving this report.
When you schedule your case review and consultation, we will send you
our comprehensive case history and dietary & nutritional questionnaire.
This will allow us to learn everything about your case and your history. We
will need you to send us all of your lab tests that you have had done by
other doctors.
We will have you fax or mail both the questionnaires and the previous labs
to our office, prior to your scheduled consultation. This allows us to have
adequate time to review your case prior to your scheduled phone
appointment. This makes our time together extremely efficient and
productive for you.
During that consultation we are going to thoroughly discuss your case and
talk about the dietary, lifestyle, and supplemental changes we can make
immediately to make a positive impact on your condition.
We are also going to discuss the specific lab tests that will give us the
specific information needed to uncover the mechanisms (causes) of your
condition. We will direct you to the proper labs locally and have the results
sent back to us. Most tests are done via a home collection kit so we will just
send you whatever we determine is needed. For labs that require a blood
draw we use a company called Lab Corp.
Then, we will make very specific lifestyle, nutrition, and supplemental
changes according to the results of YOUR labs, custom tailored to
your exact needs.
How we continue our relationship after our initial consultation and
follow-up appoint is completely up to you. After we have completed our
initial consultation, and made our initial set of treatment recommendations
we will decide on our next step.
Usually we will prescribe to you a series of diet, lifestyle, and supplemental
changes, and then schedule another consultation in the future. This will
allow us to review your progress, review your most recent lab findings, and
move onto the next phase of care. There are a few different options for
treatment which will be described on your second visit or report of findings.
"What do I mean by the next phase of care?"
When we are working in the functional model (looking at the mechanisms
for dysfunction) there is usually a logical progression of changes that we
have to make in order to improve your condition. We may identify three
imbalances, let’s call them A, B, and C. Your particular case may require
correcting imbalance B before we can be effective with A and C. For
example, you may have an autoimmune condition and we need to correct
the autoimmune condition before we can correct other conditions.
This is an advantage to you!
What usually happens is a practitioner will ONLY look at imbalance C,
because it’s their "specialty", and after two or three attempts to support that
imbalance they will give up with no results achieved. Had the "specialist"
looked at the big picture and had done specific lab findings like we do, they
would have known that imbalance B was the area that must be corrected
before they ever had a chance to fix imbalance A or C.
We can work together to truly improve your condition. Just remember that
this work takes time and we are going to take the necessary steps to help
you reach your goals.

Testimonial from our patient
“I was really fatigued and worn out, I was overweight; I could not concentrate very
well, and my hands and joints were stiff every morning. The symptoms stressed
me out; and made me feel really irritated; I did not know why I was feeling this
way. Since starting the program with Dr. Hamel I have lost 20 pounds in 2.5
months; I sleep soundly every night, and the stiffness in my hands and joints has
really decreased. My mood has improved a lot which is a plus in everyday life. I
am happy I started the program”KJ, Kingwood, TX
