It's scarey to think that this man is the leading "thyroid expert" in his profession in the UK. God save us from fools!!!! I don't think he ever replied to Mary Shomon's critique? She posted the article on her website and she pulled him up on it Yes I read this bilge.

The second time he said my blood result indicated that I wasn't hypothyroid, but he felt I might benefit from taking 50mg thyroxine. I have been diagnosed with CFS for years, gained 6 stone in weight, have lost almost all my body hair (not on my head, thankfully) hardly any eyebrows, pains all over my body, depression, can't tolerate heat, etc. etc. Last time I visited my GP I was getting breathless, she said it could be leading to heart failure, she never offered any testing for this. Her comments have caused me huge distress. I have asked her to try Armour, but no. I have given up on Dr's. My husband has been taking Armour for the last couple of years, he's transformed. It really is amazing. The only problem we have is that we have to purchase it over the internet and can only afford for one of us to take it. The reason my husband has it is that we have a business which my husband is very hands on, and at the end of the day he brings home the money. So until such time as we can afford to buy for both of us I will have to put up with what the Dr's will prescribe. I have seen Weetman a couple of times.

Would they with hold Insulin from a Diabetic ? Why are Thyroid patients being made to suffer?!

I am from the UK where they diagnose hashimotos but wont even test the levels of the antibodies because the treatment is the same (T4 only) Luckily I am on Armour but still cant get free t3 tested, tsh and t4 only There is alot of confusion over thyroid disorders here and articles like that only make that confusion worse. this dr weetman item does not suprise me in the least.

Oh my, just another of so many ludicrous statements made by medical-school-trained robotic doctors who have lost their wise and intuitive human nature. Hooray that your dear Mom has found a much better doctor who apparently didn't lose his self!! :) Yes, please spread the word, because this site was created in the hope that NO MORE PATIENTS will suffer needlessly with labs and meds that are NOT working, NEVER have, and NEVER will! And the bottom line: WE have to be our own best advocates, and this site will help anyone do that! Hi Bethany.

This included brittle nails, dry skin, low basal temp, feeling cold all the time especially in the hands and feet and lack of sex drive. Her blood test, which is all the DR was willing to do, came back normal--needless to say according to her she was fine. Yeah, right, keep on thinking that. We have found a doctor thanks to websites and people like you that is willing to treat by the symptoms, use saliva tests and LISTEN to his patients. He is also willing to prescribe natural thyroid replacement and looks into possible adrenal problems as well. Without wonderfully informational sites like yours we couldn't have found out as much as we have and feel like we aren't the only ones that have these issues. Keep up the good work, I'm spreading the word as much as possible. Thank you so much!!

Somehow I didn`t see the coverage of the petition. Can you believe that a "competent" doctor would stoop so low as to assassinate the good names of all the patients who have been suffering all these years?! Give me strength. This is a reflection on the character of the medical profession in England. I pity the poor souls. Also this is a problem with socialized medicine where no one has a voice. Thank you for giving us a voice. Janie, I just finished reading the coverage of this total a–h— on Mary Shoman`s newsletter. Somehow I didn`t see the coverage of the petition.
