Summary

http://notjustpaleo.com/free-health-consultation Dr. Eric Osansky is a licensed healthcare professional who helps people recover from thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions through the use of natural thyroid treatment methods. He is a chiropractic physician, and while many people consider chiropractors to be neck and back pain doctors, some chiropractors receive special training that gives them the knowledge to focus on other conditions, such as endocrine disorders. Although Dr. Osansky focused on typical chiropractic conditions in his practice for 7 years, he gained a greater appreciation for endocrine disorders when he was personally diagnosed with the autoimmune thyroid condition Graves disease. After seeing how well natural treatment methods helped with his autoimmune thyroid condition, he began using these natural thyroid treatment protocols to help others with different types of thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions, such as hyperthyroidism and Graves Disease, and hypothyroidism and Hashimotos Thyroiditis. While he realizes that conventional medical treatment is necessary in some cases, there are millions of people with these conditions who have been told they need to be on prescription drugs on a long-term or permanent basis, or receive thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine, when this might not be the case. Dr. Osansky has obtained countless hours of postgraduate training in nutrition, functional endocrinology, immunology, detoxification, and phytotherapy. Dr. Osansky received a Master of Science degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Western States. Dr. Osansky is a Certified Clinical Nutritionist, as well as a Certified Nutrition Specialist, which requires advanced-degree education qualifications, completing and passing an examination, and substantial nutrition experience. Dr. Osansky is also a certified functional medicine practitioner from the Institute for Functional Medicine. Although hes not an herbalist, Dr. Osansky has received a certificate of herbal therapy through the Australian College of Phytotherapy. This program is run by Kerry Bone, who is a well-known herbalist with over 25 years of experience. Here is a breakdown of Dr. Osanskys credentials and special achievements: Doctor of chiropractic that focuses on endocrine conditions Masters of science degree in nutrition and functional medicine Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner (IFMCP) Certified Clinical Nutritionist (CCN) Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) Herbal Therapy Certification Attends numerous nutrition and functional medicine conferences each year Guest interview on Thyroid Nation Radio Featured speaker for Dr. Amy Myers Thyroid Connection Summit Presenter for Dr. Izabella Wentz Thyroid Secret Documentary In July of 2011 Dr. Osansky published the book Natural Treatment Solutions for Hyperthyroidism and Graves Disease, which is now in its second edition. He is currently working on a book on Hashimotos Thyroiditis. Over the years he has helped hundreds of people with thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions. His goal is to detect and then remove the underlying cause of these conditions, which in many cases will restore the function of the thyroid gland, strengthen the adrenal glands, improve the health of the immune system, and address other affected areas of the body. As a result, many people with these conditions can avoid taking medication on a long-term basis, as well as avoid receiving surgery or radioactive iodine treatment. Although Dr. Osanskys goal is to help people through natural methods, he realizes that some people do need conventional medical treatment. As a result, he will not hesitate to refer patients to a different healthcare professional if for any reason they arent a good candidate for natural treatment methods. For those people with a thyroid or autoimmune thyroid condition who are interested in restoring their health back to normal, Dr. Osansky has writ
