Right on the heels of the insane recom­men­da­tion by the UK’s Royal College of Phy­si­cians and the Bri­tish Thy­roid Asso­cia­tion (that thy­ro­xine be the ONLY treat­ment for hypothy­roi­dism – see Feb. 14th below) came an EXCELLENT and THOROUGH rebut­tal by Dr. John C. Lowe tit­led Sta­bi­lity, Effec­ti­ve­ness, and Safety of Desic­ca­ted Thy­roid vs Levothy­ro­xine: A Rebut­tal to the Bri­tish Thy­roid Asso­cia­tion. WAY TO GO, John!! 

p.s. Also see Sheila’s expe­rience on the Feb. 20th post. Awful

    This is a great article on “zom­bie science”! That is, when terri­ble science sticks around because that’s where the money is. Very appro­priate for thyroid.

    Wow! Just goes to show how they use things that sway their side of the argu­ment and what they want you to believe. All those stu­dies eh?
    If they don’t take notice of this then we will KNOW they have an agenda!
    BTA what do you say?

    WTG Dr Lowe and thank­you on behalf of peo­ple nee­ding DTH to have any kind of relief from the pains of hypothyroidism
