World Register of Counterexamples to T4-only therapy

[Guest guest]

The Charity, Thyroid Patient

Advocacy www.tpa-uk.org.uk is in the process

of creating a World Register of Counterexamples to levothyroxine-only (T4)

therapy. This short survey is applicable only to those who continued to suffer

symptoms on T4-only therapy, and who found those symptoms were mitigated or

disappeared once they were started on a T3 hormone containing product, whether

synthetic or natural desiccated thyroid.

The existence of

counterexamples to T4-only therapy prove incontrovertibly that endocrinology's

stance is dangerously wrong. Their continuance of practising in line with the

T4-only treatment dictat is pernicious.

It is long overdue for

endocrinologists to recognise that the symptoms of hypothyroidism can result

from - (a) insufficient secretion by the thyroid gland or - ( insufficient

levels of thyroid hormones in the body, associated with peripheral metabolism

and peripheral cellular hormone reception.

The objective of this

Register of Counterexamples to T4-only therapy is to draw to the attention of

those responsible authorities throughout the world, the dire need for an urgent

re-examination of the existing protocol for the diagnosis and management of the

symptoms of hypothyroidism.

If you fit this category,

please will you complete the 3 questions with either 'YES', 'NO' or N/A

here http://www.tpa-uk.org.uk/register_of_counterexamples.php

.. All responses will be collated online, and your email address (if you provide

one) will be used ONLY to contact you at a later date should this be becomes

necessary.
