Hi

Jacquie

I

have added this under 'Applications' in the Menu. When I click on Applications,

I get up the two links to Amazon UK and Amazon US, but not sure whether ordinary

members have this facility. I have access to all the facilities being the

owner. Can you let me know whether this appears in the Menu on the Home Page thyroid treatment

please, and if so and you click on it, do the two links shown below come up?

Luv

- Sheila

Because they are lazy, overpaid and under worked?

Or is it that they have a vested interest such as keeping the Big Pharma

companies in business by forcing us into having loads of unnecessary drugs that

cost a fortune and don't work?

Do we make it too easy for them to get away with it by not complaining enough?

Do they resent the fact that others know more than they do?

I don't know why exactly but its about time they stopped getting away with

murder!!

[Guest guest]

Well, that's what TPA is about - and it's about time we started

tightening the reins. Tomorrow is a start, and hopefully, if the editor hasn't

'bent' the facts, it should be a good start.

Each one of us should buy a spare copy and open it up at the

Thyroid Article and send it to our surgeries, for all the doctors to read.

Hi SheilaNever in a million years would I have thought to look under Application. I have been checking the main page regularly but when I didn't see it I just asked my friends to spread the word. I would have thought it should be on both main pages to get ultimate use from these links. I have clicked on it and it shows the both UK and US Amazon 'buttons' but when I click on them they don't take me to Amazon. Instead, it takes me to a page that says, 'Amazon UK Link (TPA): Add Entry' and it asks for my name, address, country, etc and once I have gone through that and 'Submit', it takes me a page that shows me that my entry? is added and when I click to view my 'entry' it comes to this: Love JacquieOne entry found Clear Search Check this box to be able to drag the table horizontally (no need to scroll!)

Hmmm! Need to think this one out again - I am pretty rubbish

when it comes to doing such things - as you have no doubt found out. Can

anybody help please who knows about running Forums. I already have a note

that is shown at the bottom of each message posted (TPA is not medically

qualified. Consult with a qualified medical practitioner before changing

medication). That would have been the best place to put these, but that space there

is very limited

Hi Sheila:

I have looked at a dozen of description pages for and NONE of them

have hyperlinks at all. I can only assume that this is not allowed in the

*description of group* area.

I have copy and pasted the two amazon.com links into a new browser address bar

and both of them take me to the correct amazon.com page.

I think the title of the link should maybe have a space between it and the link

because it is a little difficult to copy the link without coping the title as

well.

Otherwise, it all works perfectly on my end. You may just want to add a note

that these links will have to be copied and pasted into a new browser to open

correctly.

I will be making an Amazon.com purchase soon so this will help me a lot !!!

Thanks so much !!

Cheers,

JOT

Why do the RCP/BTA et al decide to turn a blind eye to these studies. the

studies that disprove their view?

Because they can. There is nobody in government who might enforce a rational

process. There is competition that might take advantage of that information.

Basically, we have given up our medical sovereignty to the medical establishment

in exchange for the false promise of good healthcare. Bad deal !

You can see this lack of respect in the quality of medical practice guidelines.

Most are abject failures per three studies of guidelines.

Have a great day,

I have looked all through the Mail and nothing. The health section is about Alzheimer's Lilian

Thanks Jot. I added the note you suggested. Had to keep it

cryptic as I ran out of space but it's there on the Home Page beneath each

Amazon link.
