Guest guest Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Unfortunately, it isn't necessarily a case of just research misconduct in our case, it is also a case of a refusal to research. Check out the statements made by the RCP, BTA et al re diagnosis and management of thyroid disease, and not one of their statements do they back up with research to the medical science or any clinical studies apart from the very flawed clinical studies done that showed (using 900 participants) that T4/T3 combination worked no better than T4-only. Our Register of Counterexamples to T4-only therapy now stands at 1684, most of whom are willing to testify to the fact that their symptoms continued with T4-only therapy but were mitigated or disappeared when they started some form of T3-therapy.

Countries all over the developed world are now recognising the need to set up systems to deter, detect, and investigate research misconduct. Why does the UK have no plans to do the same?

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Dear and All, First, in the US, the Office of Research Integrity only examines US funded projects, which are about a third of all research. Second, I have analyzed the relevant research to this depravity and found substantial mistakes that directly affect those with continuing symptoms. The problem lies in just who or what is going to force the medical powers to become honest.
