And one of them is making sure you get enough vitamin D.

Is Thyroid Cancer More Common in CFS?

Some of you may have heard about research saying that thyroid cancer incidence is dramatically higher in CFS. This was done by Dr. Byron Hyde, who I've known for many years. Though a good practitioner, I have found some of his research findings to not be consistent with what we find clinically (e.g., he felt most patients with CFS have severe blockages of the neck arteries). This is another example where one needs to interpret the data clearly to avoid harming the patient. I have NOT seen an increase in incidence of thyroid cancer in CFS.

If you listen to messages about cancer testing from public health "authorities" the bottom line is obvious: Test early and test often — for breast cancer, with a mammography; for prostate cancer, with a PSA test (prostate specific antigen); for colon cancer with a colonoscopy. You're told who should be screened — such as every women 40 and over, for breast cancer. You're told when the screening should happen — such as once a year for mammograms. And you're told that cancer screening is one of the best deals going for health and longevity. But what you're typically not told is the possible danger of being screened for cancer — how visiting your doctor for standard screening can not only cost you money, but also your health and well-being!
