It's NOT working! It NEVER has!! It STILL doesn't!!

Doctors Need to Rethink

  1. No matter what research or statistics say, or your medical school said, or your peers say, or the Pharmaceutical Rep says….T4-only medications (L-thyroxine) have NEVER done the job, any more than an elevator which only rises to the 5th floor in a 50 story building "does the job."
  2. When a patient who is on T4-only meds complains of other symptoms, those symptoms CAN be from an inferior treatment, and from continuing hypothyroid, NO MATTER how “NORMAL” the TSH is.
  3. There always has been, and still is, a treatment that DOES do the job: natural desiccated thyroid hormones, more popularly known by the brand name Armour, which has been around for over 100 years, is certified by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), is industry regulated by the FDA, and gives us back the same substances that our own thyroid would have been giving us.
  4. The TSH and its range is a flawed and LOUSY tool when used solely to determine an effective dose. It can leave a patient UNDERTREATED. The TSH range does NOT equate to how a patient feels.
  5. Desiccated thyroid like Armour is NOT dangerous for the vast majority of thyroid patients, nor is it unregulated, inconsistent, unreliable, or outdated. Armour has had fewer FDA citations for potency and quality problems than T4-only medications.
  6. Desiccated thyroid gives patients exactly what their own thyroids would be giving them—T4, T3, T2, T1 and calcitonin. Providing the majority of patients with only ONE of the above hormones is an inferior treatment, and always has been.
  7. Desiccated thyroid like Armour is NOT a medication which "only works for a few". When Armour or any thyroid med appears to cause problems, it is most often due to weak adrenal function (which doctors are almost completely ignorant about), low Ferritin, or failing to give the patient an adequate replacement dose because of an obsession with the TSH range. All of these issues can be corrected, and then Armour can be a successful and superior treatment.
  8. Medical school training does NOT mean doctors are omniscient "gods". A patient CAN have self-wisdom and self-knowledge via their own intuition and their own research, and doctors CAN learn from their patients! In fact, doctors are wise to see patients as active participants in their healthcare decisions.
  9. To continue to treat a patient with inadequate medications and a unreliable TSH simply because "long term studies are lacking in the exact answer", or because information is not "peer reviewed", or because Armour and other methods of dosing are "not accepted as a medical standard of practice" only serves to fail the patient and to fail the oath to "do no harm".
