Comments on: American Laboratories continues to work hard at production. http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/2009/09/08/american-laboratories-continues-to-work-hard/ Thyroid Treatment Scandal and Hypothyroid Mistreatment Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:39:43 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Leigh Bennett http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/2009/09/08/american-laboratories-continues-to-work-hard/comment-page-1/#comment-43147 Leigh Bennett Thu, 17 Sep 2009 02:47:09 +0000 http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/?p=3487#comment-43147 While I prefer to be a moderate on hot topics (better for my blood pressure and peace of mind), this thyroid drug SNAFU has me furious! And American Labs' remarkably cordial LIES have not assuaged my feelings. Thousands upon thousands of pigs are slaughtered each day in the US, it is impossible that there is any shortage of product for American Labs. For example, from an article in the New York Times, "A Medical Mystery Unfolds in Minnesota," February 5, 2008: "Austin's [Austin, Minnesota] biggest employer is Hormel Foods, maker of Spam, bacon and other processed meats (Austin even has a Spam museum). Quality Pork Processors, which backs onto the Hormel property, kills and butchers 19,000 hogs a day and sends most of them to Hormel. The complex, emitting clouds of steam and a distinctive scent, is easy to find from just about anywhere in town."

She used to lose 2-6 hours a day which hit our household and our income hard. It was accompanied by much emotional duress as well. Her doctor would switch her from synthroid--so much for the hippocratic oath eh? ******Why is Armour being taken off the market? What is the money trail or the conspiracy? Who is to blame? Will the new meds really work as well.****** PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I'm so angry about Armour disappearing and we are very concerned about losing this progress. Now she gets up at 5:30am and works (homeschools) through the entire day till 11:30pm with a 1 hour nap every other day. It was an amazing 180 turn. jay (From Janie: Jay, there is no evidence that Armour has been removed from the market. What is being stated is that demand has been greater than supply. RLC is also stating that they will have more desiccated thyroid out by the end of October. Don't panic yet.

She was very pleasant and helpful and told me that the increase in demand for natural thyroid products has increased greatly this year causing a temporary shortage of supply to manufacturers. She said they are still shipping and that patients might try their local compounding pharmacist if they are having trouble locating Armour, Naturethroid, or Westhroid. Apparently the word is finally getting around to many thyroid patients that a better result might be had from a medication containing a natural thyroid product.

I know that Canada has supplies, but as you know, British GPs have been brain-washed into believing that synthetic thyroid is *the* medication that will save our lives (yeah, right!) by the RCP, and getting a prescription (necessary in Canada) would be nigh on impossible! Thank you to you and everyone else who is fighting our cause over in the US, we really do appreciate it! :) Quite relieved to learn that news, as I am over in the UK, and (have to) buy my supplies of natural thyroid from the US.
