A Special Tribute to my Husband,

Dr. C. Lowe

1/22/1946- 1/9/2012

by Tammy Lowe

It is with deep sadness and a broken heart that I write this letter to inform

you that Dr. C. Lowe died suddenly January 9, 2012 due to complications

following a head injury that he sustained on November 14, 2011.

I've spent the last few days searching for the right words to share this news

and to honor the man that I have known and loved for the majority of my life,

but the words seem so small and insubstantial to the man that he was.

One only has to read the many pages of www.drlowe.com, www.thyroidscience.com,

www.thyroidscience.us and www.fibromyalgiaresearch.org to know that 's

passion and dedication to the field of thyroidology and fibromyalgia was his

reason for getting up every day and spending countless hours boldly offering his

strong opinions in the field. There were no vacations in our life together, no

tee times on the golf course, no boating on the beautiful waters or walks on the

sandy beaches in Florida where we live. His happiest moments were spent at the

desk he loved, surrounded by his many wellread, tattered books, and typing the

words that would eventually make their way to the websites for his readers to

find them.

They say a genius is someone of great intelligence and I do believe that

was a genius in his field. His greatest magnum opus, of course, was The

Metabolic Treatment of Fibromyalgia, the textbook that took him 10 years to

write. Imagine the dedication to complete such a task.

In the final months since his head injury - was able to accomplish several

things despite impaired vision in his right eye and a broken collar bone. He

proudly completed a forward to a book titled 'Recovering with T3' by

and a forward for the book, The Hormone Zone, by Dr. . He

also conducted an interview for Dr. Mark Swanson that will soon be published.

And finally, he was also working to complete his own book, 'Safely Getting Well

With Thyroid Hormone' and was preparing to have it in print within a few weeks.

The website's will remain as they are. His compassionate words will still be

there. I will try to find the newsletter that he was working on and send it

(incomplete or finished by my hand). The Thyro-gold will also continue to be

available. believed in it so strongly. I will try to find the clinical

trial results and post them for the benefit of those who rely on the product.

There are so many documents that he was writing that remain unfinished but I

will do my best to sort through them and share them when I can.

What final words can I offer to you all at this sad time? For those of you who

knew him personally, who spoke with him on the phone, who met him face-to-face,

shook his hand or offered a hug in gratitude - you will join our daughter

Michele and me in sorrow as we face this tragic loss together. For those of you

who never had the privilege to know my husband personally, but read his

writings, just know that he believed in his research and hoped that someday the

TSH testing would be abandoned as the standard practice for thyroid health and

that healthcare would return to the science-based treatment that it should be.

Remember the scientist that he was and continue to share his work with others

who need it. Remember his voice for those who felt they were never heard when

they were in need of direction. Remember the extraordinary man that he was and

help me maintain his everlasting presence.
