BTA Statement on Armour and T4/T3 combination treatment.

[Guest guest]

Hi Everybody

I have now completed my responses with many references to back up 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.

However, on a lighter side, I typed in to Google an extract from 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.

If this information is true, it would be wonderful, but I think somebody may have been very naughty here.

Luv - Sheila
