A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO DR JOHN LOWE FROM HIS WIFE

[Guest guest]

A Special Tribute to my Husband,Dr. C. Lowe1/22/1946- 1/9/2012by 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.

This is my first post, but I was shocked and saddened to read this. Dr. Lowe

has been so instrumental in educating people about the importance of the thyroid

to health, and T3 in particular. He will me greatly missed.

I am so shocked by this. What a tragic loss for his family and for all who have suffered under the hands of ignorant or frightened medical practitioners - who did not possess Dr Lowe's bravery to step outside the confines of convention, nor had the passion and commitment to alleviate the suffering of so many mistreated patients.He will be greatly missed and I truly hope there someone to step into his shoes and carry on his work.

I've only just finished reading the e-mail and was stunned, this is awful for

Dr. Lowe's family, I didn't even know he'd had an accident.

I hope his work on thyroid and metabolism will not be forgotten.

Such a shame - Dr Lowe is high up on my list of 'heroes' and the world has

lost a great man.

The world has indeed lost a true genius...I was reading his incredible book when

the email came. I was very shocked and sad. It must be a hard time for his

family.
