Re: NHS: call for evidence and ideas - the problem

[Guest guest]

HI Helen,

The problem with this writing is in the imprecision of the language. It is at

least rational to only provide T4 if the only problem is the thyroid gland

deficiency. This has been demonstrated by numerous studies.

However, there are broad definitions of hypothyroidism and hypothyroid as well

as the narrow proper ones. The broad definitions go more by symptoms than by

the bodily function. Consequently, by way of the same word, you may be

suggesting many deficiencies or only a thyroid gland deficiency.

Functionally, after the thyroid gland there are three more operations, the

conversion from T4 to T3, the reception of the T3 by the cells, and the actual

use of the T3 in the cells. So if you speak of T3 or NDT for hypothyroidism or

to treat a hypothyroid patient to someone who thinks in terms of only the

thyroid gland, then you will get nowhere.

The probability of running into a physician who does not know about the

after-the-thyroid-gland (post thyroid) functions is quite high since the Royal

College of Physicians does not include their study in their course

recommendations. Then multiply that by the probability of a physician valuing

his ethics more than he fears the General Medical Council, then you get a small,

a very small number.

There is a diagram on the TPA website (linked near the bottom of the page) for

the Greater Thyroid System. It shows what medicine acknowledges and what it

ignores... The T3 and NDT are more useful where medicine ignores....

Have a great day,

hypothyroidism. Also the evidence for treating this complaint by symptoms rather

than by TSH test results.
