Re: New , easy way to estimate ATD dosage?

[Guest guest]

Hi Jody -

The more I delve into this the more I realize that the USA has

no desire to make this disease any easier on us. It's too profitable

keeping us in the dark..........

All I could get was the abstract of the CPD testing, as the full text

was $30. I have tried searching A. Saleh, for some kind of way to

contact him/her, but can't get very far with it yet.

I couldn't post a link from Highwire because it was about

70 characters long, but I was able to find the abstract here:

(ATD dosing Saleh study)

Then I found this also re using color doppler in evaluating thyroid

nodules:

http://www.ecr.org/T/ECR02/sciprg/abs/pc0395.htm

-------------

Then another interesting item, but since it is a very long link, try

this: at google.com type into the search window:

ECOGRAPHIA DOPPLER COLOR

The first hit that comes up will have this title, but click on

" translate this page "

------------

One last link (for now) that will really make you ask why this info

is never mentioned here in the States:

http://wwwsoc.nii.ac.jp/jsum/magazine/1996/23-06.html

4th study down: [They knew about this in Japan in 1996!!!]

Differential Diagnosis of Goiter With Doppler Ultrasonography

Yasuo HOZUMI1, Takeo YAMANAKA2, SJSUM, Nobuaki KUZUYA2,

Kimiyoshi SHIMANUKI1, Isao AKIIKE3, RMS, Yumiko INOUE3, RMS and

Michio MIYATA1

excerpt:

" Peak velocity in the superior thyroid arteries of patients with

active hyperthyroidism was significantly greater than that in

patients with hyperthyroidism in the euthyroid state and all cases of

thyroiditis. "

-------------

My opinion? There's more money to be made with RAIU, and destroying

the thyroid, after convincing the patient of dosing difficulties in

ATD therapy. The answers are out there, but not in the United

States. Why is this??
