Re: Digest Number 5081 Shomon

[Guest guest]

Hello, Hilda:

When I was the active moderator of both the Hulda and the

hypothyrodism groups back around 1998 or so, I had communications with

Shomon. I had made a post recommending Thyrodine liquid, and she

viciously attacked me on both the list that I was moderator of, as well

as her own list. Thyrodine, which I believed to have merit and

credibility, and advocated the members checking out and taking, but

was very opposed to, and called it quackery. She was not willing

to even look at the manufacturer's data or scientific studies done on

the product. Because the product was developed by a chiropractor, and

not FDA approved, she would not approve of its use. I personally took

the product , and found it to be very helpful in my own medical

improvement. The product is no longer available, and I strongly suspect

that Shomon launched a personal crusade against Thyrodine, bringing

it to the attention of the pro-allopathic authorities who are opposed

to alternative treatments.

As I am against censorship, I did allow her post to appear at that time,

even though it was vicious, hurtful, and created a big rift within the

group. Back then, onelist was being used. My personal opinion is that

Shomon believes that she is a self-appointed expert on

hypothyroidism, and has a know-it-all attitude. Although much of her

information is valid, certainly not all of it. However, if Shomon

attempts to post on this list, I will moderate her post, and exercise my

moderator's right to censor or not allow her post to appear.

Some may consider it being petty for me to bring this up now after all

of these years, and I do admit that I am receiving a certain amount of

personal satisfaction in posting this now, after years of anger building

up against what she did. So, you all may believe what you choose to

believe. Those on this list who know me would give my post some

credibility.

I hope this does not reignite another flame war in this group. I am

going to assume that someone will notify of this posting, and

expect her to try to retaliate to make herself look good.

Ira M. Fine,

moderator of the hypothyroidism group.

I found two products on the market by that name. Pinnacle laboratories

makes one; the other is called Thyrodine Complex, made by LTP Natural

Products.

Both are essentially rich sources of iodine. The complex provides about

10 times as much as the Pinnacle product.
