Comments on: Who has the vision and courage of Dr. Lowe…and a message from Acella about delays http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/2012/01/16/who-has-the-vision-and-courage/ Thyroid Treatment Scandal and Hypothyroid Mistreatment Wed, 16 May 2012 22:09:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Jenny http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/2012/01/16/who-has-the-vision-and-courage/comment-page-1/#comment-164872 Jenny Mon, 26 Mar 2012 21:31:07 +0000 http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/?p=8121#comment-164872 I posted a comment on the other page on this site about Dr Lowe's death, "Deep sorrow and Condolences" about his website and will post here as well. Tammy Lowe as far as I am concerned is the only other person who had been as deeply committed and involved in the work that Dr Lowe was doing for many years, and is alone able to complete the last book they were working on together at the time of his death. Dr Lowe’s site at thyroidscience.us was apparently absconded by extended family who took legal action to control his estate. Orders that you make on the old site get no response, no reply and will not be fulfilled. Tammy Lowe has moved the site to a new location naturalthyroidsolutions.com and can be reached at the new website or by email at tammy @ naturalthyroidsolutions.com She has been wonderful about explaining what has happened to the original site and his work and been a great help and support. Hopefully the new site will have a way to donate to her ongoing work and she will be able to complete and publish the last book that she and Dr Lowe were working on at the time he died. ALSO: to Tricia who suggests on Jan 16th that Dr Datis Kharrazian of the book Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms? When My Lab Tests are Normal" might be a candidate, I have this to say from personal experience: I personally found the recommendations I got from his office to be very expensive consultations, utterly destructive, dangerous for me, and if I hadnt decided to stop them when I did, potentially fatal. His unwillingness to be transparent and responsive to the things he was suggesting I do, as well as the fact that he overlooked key related issues in my particular program which had me at the start of congestive organ failure by the time I finally backed out, tells me that he is EVERYTHING that Dr John Lowe was publishing about the medical establishment which has ZERO accountability to patients and I would have been merely another unfortunate statistic if I hadnt been paying close attention to my own quickly deteriorating condition. His behavior has demonstrated to me that he has no ethical motivation to his work, and is not remotely interested in being of real help to the population who most need it: the thyroid patients that Dr Lowe and his wife Tammy have been fighting for all these years.

We do have some excellent private doctors, such as Dr Hertoghe! Also there is a lot of variability across Europe in the treatment of thyroid disease. For example, a German doctor recently told one of our TPA members that in Germany they learn about the importance of T3, and prescribe it. Thyroid diagnosis and treatment seems to be worst in the UK at present. I would just like to correct Peter S’s comments about Europe. We do have some excellent private doctors, such as Dr Hertoghe!

More tiredness, weight gain, memory problems while taking thyroid. From Janie: that's due to the negative feedback loop from either starting on too low dose, or not raising fast enough. http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/natural-thyroid-101 ) Hi Janie can you make a news post about hypo symptoms getting much worse when initially starting desiccated?

I am a patient but am NOT on Facebook, nor do I want to join. I would, however, love to read the Facebook Adrenals group summary and opinion of how to use T3 only. Maybe you can do a short summary on your blog or site for those of us who do not want to join Facebook?? I did get Paul Robinson's book and am starting to read, am on HC and Erfa, and am going to lower and get off of HC (and Erfa) so that I can switch to Cytomel. I also got your revised STTM book. Too bad you have the group as "private" on Facebook. I am in the adrenals and T3 Yahoo groups and wish the discussion was there instead of on Facebook. (From Janie: Lynn, since you have the book, you'll have great information anyway on how to do the T3 Circadian Protocol. :) And the group is private because patients who explore some of their most private adrenal health situations wanted it that way.)

She is passionate about spreading the word on thyroid treatment that works. She understands what thyroid patients go through, since she is one herself. Her office number is 352-385-2631. I know she has a busy practice outside Orlando, but she deserves consideration. Joanne Keller NP is my suggestion. She is passionate about spreading the word on thyroid treatment that works.

His reach is/was so immense and yet so personal. For the past almost three years he has been there to help guide my recovery and program........I just cannot imagine who is out there who can absorb not just his caseload of private clients, but the research, the publications, the advocacy....Truly, he accomplished the work of ten. I have been rereading Teitelbaum's book, From Fatigued to Fantastic. He is a powerful advocate, a solid researcher and appears to represent the perspective STTM presents. Anybody out there have any experience with him and his SHIN program?????????????
