And then there are some true propositions:

1. Many alternative practitioners believe many, if not most, problems are

due to hypothyroidism. Beware of " simple " aetiologies for complicated

problems.

2. Many alternative practitioners " mis-diagnose " their patients as having

hypothyroidism.

3. Many alternative practitioners " abuse " thyroid hormonal therapy.

4. Thyroid hormonal therapy has been abused a lot in the past & in the

present for questionable purposes....e.g. weight loss, muscle building,

" fountain of youth " , etc.

5. Hypothyroidism can not be diagnosed by taking one's temperature alone.

Dr. Atkins routinely diagnoses people as having hypothyroidism by having them

take an oral temperature for several days.......low 'n behold, their body

temps via oral measurement (very poor science & non-reproducable results) are

" too " low and they are diagnosed as being hypothyroid even though the lab

results show that they are euthyroid.
