We do not attempt to be a comprehensive source of thyroid information. I hope our members will rely heavily on About Thyroid and the books by Shomon. There is no point in re-inventing the wheel.

The main purpose of this group is to share info on local doctors and to help folks work with their doctors.

I would add that I greatly appreciate the work of and others in digging up and posting links to relevant articles from medical and scientific journals.
