Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Patient Counterexamples are important because they refute endocrinology's claim that T3 is not effective, not needed, and dangerous. They also falsify the bogus excuses for medicine's failure to return patients to active, attractive lives. Patient Counterexamples are important because endocrinology's claim comes from studies and these studies are merely collections of observations. Then endocrinology conjectures the well-known concept that T3 is not useful based upon these observations. This is called inductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning has a vulnerability. A single counterexample can falsify the conjecture. In other words a single patient counterexample can falsify the notion that T3 has no value. There are more than 800 patient counterexamples on the TPA registry. You might ask, " When should the emirs of endocrinology learned this? " I have felt that this should have been learned in high school geometry since geometry is highly dependent upon logic. Indeed, I borrowed a 9th grade Geometry book from the local high school and found the description of and lessons on inductive and deductive reasoning in it. Since Geometry is required for college bound students, we can expect that most if not all of the emirs of endocrinology should know inductive reasoning and the importance of counterexamples to observational studies. But apparently their frailties allow them to abuse those who do need T3 to live reasonably. Have a great day, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
