Re: Counterexamples -- who and why

[Guest guest]

I think I am a good counterexample. I clicked on the link but was unable to find the questionnaire. I live in France but have received more or less the same treatment as I would have got in UK

In this realm, who are counterexamples? A counterexample is a person who has experienced T4 without good results and some form of T3 with good results, in either order or both. A counterexample could also be a person who was denied treatment because their thyroid tested OK inspite of continuing symptoms of hypothyroidism and eventually took some form of T3 with good results.Why is this important? Medical practice believes two things. T4 is the only proper treatment for the symptoms of hypothyroidism AND T3 is no good, not effective, even dangerous. The counterexamples, people described above, falsify the "science" that medical practice uses to support its position. Counterexamples show that their position is wrong.TPA-UK is starting a world wide survey and search for counterexamples. TPA-UK is at http://health. groups.yahoo. com/group/

Well, I guess that I jumpted the gun a bit. But I know that theis being done

and will be done soon. So please give TPA a few days and it will be up. OR,

get on the their forum...

I hope that we can demonstrate their misconceptions to the endocrinology

establishment. Hopefully, we can find many, many counterexamples so that their

lack of reality is just too much to live with.

Have a great day,
