I often won­der how many cele­bri­ties MUST have hypothy­roi­dism, yet we don’t know it. Tonite, I just found out that Jillian Michaels, the tough and mus­cu­lar fit­ness buff on the TV show Big­gest Loser, has hypothyroidism.

And you’re left to won­der: is she, and are others, on Armour, Natu­reth­roid, Westh­roid?? Have they found out about the supe­rior treat­ment of desic­ca­ted thy­roid over a T4-only treat­ment with Synth­roid, Levoxyl, et al?

Other cele­bri­ties with hypo inc­lude Kim Ale­xis, Linda Rons­tadt, Kim Cat­trall, Kelly Osbourne, Oprah Win­frey and others. We can only hope that one day, someone will figure out that desic­ca­ted thy­roid is a supe­rior treat­ment, and help us spread the word. So far, Oprah has let us down. Maybe…maybe…someone with the abi­lity to spread the word will step up to the plate.

p.s. Pre­fer a book to a web­site? STTM is now in book form, with even more infor­ma­tion than you can find on this site, and wai­ting to be in your hands.

I have had many folks email me about their con­cern that Oprah is not only fai­ling to get the mes­sage about her thy­roid issue, but thy­roid advo­ca­tes and inter­views are not sen­ding the mes­sage about what infor­ma­tion is nee­ded out there…and the media has STILL not caught on to this HUGE treat­ment scan­dal of the use of T4-only meds and the TSH lab. So, by request, I have crea­ted a let­ter tem­plate that you can use to be part of a mas­sive letter-writing cam­paign to Oprah.

Yes, I’m sure she’s very dis­trac­ted by the hear­tsick tra­gedy of her Lea­dership Aca­demy for Girls in South Africa, but it may also wor­sen her thy­roid con­di­tion, as well as create a poten­tial adre­nal pro­blem. So THIS is the TIME to make a MOUNTAIN in her mail room. Go here: www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/letter-to-oprah-winfrey/

Please note that you can also use the above tem­plate let­ter to email her, but if we can ALSO send REAL LIVE let­ters as out­li­ned in the above page, that can make a HUGE VISUAL dif­fe­rence as to what we are trying to tell her.
