The Johnson Method is an all natural, drug-free treatment that has been used successfully on patients who previously had not seen these kinds of results with conventional treatment. Dr. Johnson and his treatment team feel that thyroid dysfunction is grossly misunderstood in conventional medicine.

Every patient is first tested for sensitivity to the different food groups. This is done because sensitivity to any food group will increase inflammation in the brain and other parts of the body. Then, other laboratory tests are done to check your adrenal glands, your liver and your glucose level. Hormone panels are checked, too. Brain function is very important to the health of the thyroid gland, so brain neurotransmitters are checked because a decrease in neurotransmitters can cause increased pain and fatigue.

The National Thyroid Institute will leave no stone unturned to determine the exact cause of your thyroid condition.

The National Thyroid Institute performs tests to determine sensitivity to various food groups first. This is done because sensitivity to a food can cause a thyroid conditions to be made worse due to the sensitivity increasing inflammation in the brain. Other tests are also done to check for liver condition, function of the adrenal glands, glucose level and blood chemistry.

Dr. Johnson and the other doctors associated with the National Thyroid Institute, a non-profit organization, have had amazing results with the natural and drug-free approach used to treat thyroid dysfunction.
