The Thyroflex Report

The Thyroflex test measures and analyses the patient's reflex speed which directly correlates to thyroid function.  This has been acknowledged by the medical fraternity for decades and before the inception of blood pathology assessments, early physicians would test the  knee reflex using a diagnostic patella hammer.  Thyroflex measures the reflex speed in microseconds, analyses the data and generates a printable report.  Jennifer is trained to accurately read the report and will fax abnormal results to a registered medical practitioner who will contact the patient and supervise safe effective natural thyroid medication.  Where medication is not required but the patient is symptomatic of an endocrine imbalance, Jennifer Weekes will assess the patient for appropriate adrenal or natural plant derived hormonal support as well as liver tonics.  One of the liver's roles is to produce healthy thyroid material for the gland's converion into T3 and T4 hormones.  By supporting the liver with cetain amino acids, minerals and vitamins the liver is able to process healthier endogenous thyroid secretions.

I believe it now, more than ever Most women are plagued by undiagnosed thyroid conditions -- and Thyroflex is helping find those answers.

Greetings! Many of you have had the opportunity to exeperience our new Thyroflex test, meet Naturopathic practitioner Jennifer Weekes and get started on a program that may solve your health problems. In only a few short weeks, reports of feeling better are starting to come in.   Since the thyroid regulates your body's ability to keep you warm body temperature and to convert the food you eat into energy, getting on the correct dose of medication is a huge step forward.  Classic symptoms of low thyroid function, or hypothyroid, include  constipation, slow heart rate, dry skin, dry hair, weight gain, fatigue, depression, headaches, anemia, low libido and abnormal menstrual cycles. Subclinical hypothyroidism has been linked with high cholesterol, atrial fibrillation, osteoporosis and is an important risk factor for heart disease in women. One of the long standing clinical tests used to diagnose abnormal thyroid dysfunction has been a delayed/slowed Achilles tendon reflex. Prior to 1974, when the TSH blood test became used to screen for low thyroid function, doctors used a simple reflex test to diagnose and treat hypothyroidism. The Thyroflex Test is a specialized device that can assess thyroid function and determine if you are on the right dose of thyroid medication. The Thyroflex instrument consists of a reflex hammer connected to a computer which measures reflex time in milliseconds. A tendon in the forearm is used instead of the Achilles tendon reflex for easy testing while you're seated comfortably in a chair. A delayed reflex indicates low thyroid function. Our new instrument helps to zero in on your problem and adjust your medication based on functional test, not just on blood tests. You'll get your results immediately and we can adjust your medication to maximize your health.  This revealing test can help find answers that may: Increase Your Energy Restore Your The Sleep Speed Your Metabolism Get Your Sex Drive Back Give You Energy To Play With Your Kids Provide Enough Energy to Exercise and Do Physical Activities Again Get Your Weight Under Control Help You Control Your Moods With Your Friends and Partners Promote a More Positive Mental Attitude If you have subclinical hypothyroidism, there is no other way to identify this condition. If you've had baseline blood tests and you are on  medication, Thyroflex can help fine-tune your dose. If your thyroid tests have always been normal, but you still think you have a thyroid problem, Thyroflex may help sort that out.
