Description

The center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has found that 1 in 110 children in the US have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), up from 1 in 150 in 2007. A study in the Journal of Pediatrics in October 2009 revealed similar numbers. Parents of 1 in 90 children reported that their child has ASD. That report is now 1 in 58. Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability affecting more children than cancer, diabetes, and AIDs combined. Another disease reaching epidemic proportions is thyroid disease. According to a study published in the journal Cancer, July 13, 2009, thyroid cancer doubled in the last 10 years. Some researchers feel that the significant increase in thyroid cancer is related to the significant increase in auto immune thyroid disease that goes untreated. Subclinical hypothyroidism associated with an elevated TSH can stimulate the thyroid gland, leading to the increased risk of cancer. Additionally, according to researchers, if the upper portion of the normal range of TSH (the routine thyroid blood test) was lowered to 3 as The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologist (AACE) recommends, approximately 20% of the population would be hypothyroid.
