Re: BTA Statement on Armour and T4/T3 combination treatment.

[Guest guest]

Hi Sheila,

Is this what you're looking for

http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/abstract/340/6/424

Hope this helps - sorry, I'm a new member and haven't introduced

myself yet but will soon....

my comments to the BTA's Statement on their Website. In their

statement on Armour, they managed to produce only 1 reference to back

this up, and only 3 references to back up their Statement on

combination therapy. I am chuffed that I have 74 references for the

Armour doc and 118 references for combination therapy to back up what

we say.

> I have, however, one reference that I found on www.mercola.com but

it isn't making any sense to me at all. This was a study, published

by the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) proving that Armour

Thyroid worked better than synthroid (thyroxine), and if you go to

Mercola's website, it is there for all to see. What I fail to

understand is that I thought NO studies had been done proving either

Armour worked better than thyroxine or the other way round, so is Dr

Mercola manipulating the wording for his own personal reasons. I

CANNOT find the NEJM article, but I have found copies of what Mercola

has written on several other websites. I need to know whether this

definitely IS a true publication by NEJM before including it in my

comments to the BTA, because I don't want to be laughed at. Anybody

who can help me here as a matter of some urgency, I would be

eternally grateful.

the Abstract, and up came the following website

http://www.kosmix.com/Health/Thyroid_Extract-s. Scrolling down to

find the Abstract, I suddenly came across " Images " . There was 'our

Percy' beaming away at me. I clicked on his image and up came a link

to my original website where I see over 11,000 people have visited.

When you click on the larger image, there are more 'images'.

Scrolling down to the end is a photo of Dr Peatfield and a few of us

at my cottage when we had our first TPA-UK Yorkshire Get Together.

Click on that, and it takes you to our present website. Surprising

where a little searching will take you when you are looking for

something else.

> Anyway, if anybody can help in any way regarding the NEJM article,

I would be so grateful. I cannot get onto this website at all to

search myself.

somebody may have been very naughty here.
