Shomon's Top Doc List

Armour Thyroid

Armour Thyroid includes a " doc finder " -

Beware some docs listed do not prescribe Armour - ask first!

Broda Foundation

Broda was a doctor who had hypothyroidism himself. He

developed a protocol for diagnosing thyroid disease with basal body

temperatures and treating with Armour Thyroid. For $15, they will

send you an information packet and a list of docs for your state. Ask

for the lists for surrounding states, too. **If there is no BB doc in

your state, and you do not ask for the other states, all you get is

their basic information packet, and they keep your $15.

s Syndrome Site Doc Finder

While the s Syndrome Protocol isn't recommended, the docs on

this list are most often willing to Rx Armour or synthetic t3. Ask a

lot of questions if you want to see one of these docs.

I live in land. I read through several of the websites but many

did not have any doctors listed in land. The top docs list tends

to have endo's that only prescribe synthroid, at least in the MD

area. The latest endo that I have used to be on the top docs list but

is no longer listed, which I would love to know why.

I added these all separately to our Links section--thanks a bunch, BJ!

(Your previous message got held as " spam " -- can't figure out how to

turn that off.)

clicked on send. And wanted to sent the list before I forget.

That's really weird.
