Re: Ready to throw in the towel!!! / American Thyroid Association = NO NO NO

[Guest guest]

Was just reading the American Thyroid Association website, and conclude that

they'd be happy to keep us hypo and sick for the rest of our lives.

They appear to be firmly in the pocket of Big Pharma, or possibly even OWNED by

Big Pharma. They advocate Synthroid. They perpetuate the lie that natural

thyroid is unreliable (it used successfully for something like 50 years before

Synthroid was introduced!). They said, and this is a direct quote, " The

conversion of T4 to T3 is normal in hypothyroid patients " . (OK, if it's normal,

why was my RT3 so high? Have you CHECKED my conversion?)

from:

http://www.thyroid.org/patients/patient_brochures/hormonetreatment.html

It reads like one big Synthroid advertisement.

They need to all sit down and read the StopTheThyroidMadness.com website for

hours if not days.

Also I am concerned as I just read an article from the American Thyroid

Association that discusses T3 only treatment. Because I feel so bad, I'm

getting worried that I'm hurting myself somehow. My temperatures range from

95.5 first thing in the morning to 98.0 if I'm lucky around 5:00 pm. They

average about 97.0.

Isocort. Should I ween off T3 and start on some kind of adrenal support?

Val, I didn't want to be too graphic, but that's what I immediately thought

of...this thyroid " info " is what almost killed Val.
