Hmmmm 'page not available' . . . .

Actually, I thought this link went to the article that is in

today's Sunday Telegraph about somebody who has been taking levothyroxine for 6

months and still suffering symptoms. However, when I read the comments online

at the link below, this is not relating to today's article. Do we have to wait

24 hours before such articles go online?

I was furious with Dr Dan Rutherford who responded by writing … " When

an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) is the only problem, thyroid

replacement therapy (levothyroxine) usually works well and quickly, so it

appears there is something extra going on here…….and didn't I just

know it…..WAIT FOR IT…..the very next word he used was " Depression can

certainly mimic the symptoms of hypothyroidism so I would encourage you to

stick with the antidepressants - it can take several weeks to see results… "

Is it any wonder there are tens of thousands of people suffering so

unnecessarily when we have plonkers calling themselves 'doctor' - like this

idiot.

This is a quote from Broda from his book:

Solved: The riddle of heart attacks.

& #8206; " I have found relatively few patients suffering from psychosomatic

disease. It is reasonable to suspect that a clue has been missed in those not

showing organic changes. Some of my contemporaries feel that 90 percent of their

patients are plagued with mental disorders.

There has been a steady stream of these coming to my office; in most cases

thyroid deficiency has been overlooked. Some colleagues are convinced that it is

I who has psychosomatic disease, but if relieving patients' symptoms with

thyroid therapy will cure their miseries, I shall be glad to carry the

accusation to my final resting place. "

LOL, I've always loved his intelligence and his wit.
