I am curious as to how you could get Mad Cow disease from a pill that is made

from Pigs?

Dear ;

Mad cow disease is spread from " prions " which appear to act like viruses. It

would be present in all animal tissue of an infected animal. In the meat,

blood and glands.

Its not like Hulda 's flukes. They are relatively huge parasites that

exist in tissues and can be seen. Prions carry the mad cow pattern. No one

knows what prions are. But sometime, just for fun, go out to a feedlot and

see for yourself what they feed cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys. That alone

would make you vegetarian.

Best wishes,

Earl

What happens if, as I am, you are very allergic to B vitamins...I have

tried, throughout my life to be healthy, eat right, exercise, etc., and I

still find myself diagnosed as 'hypothyroid.' And yes, I've had a lot of

stress in my life...

So, I've been thinking about your formula for some time, but B vitamins put

me asleep as fast as not taking my Armour...actually, faster. I would love

to get off Armour, but I know that I sleep about 22 hours a day without it

and have constant and chronic pneumonia...And I can't take any supplements

with B vitamins.

Any thoughts about alternatives? And yes, I've tried every 'pure, purer and

purist' B vitamins I could find. They still put me to sleep, upset my

stomach or both.

Best,

Hi Susie,

No, you don't wait to do the switch. When my doctor took me 'off' Armour (I

really tried to talk him into keeping me on it, but to no avail) and onto

Synthroid (I am now on Levoxyl) I started immediately.

Hi Joy and Ann

Who do you think funds doctors? Pharmaceutical companies pay for a lot of

stuff...

and where do you think they get their information? Those same

pharmaceutical companies who have NOTHING to gain by your doctor

prescribing Armour. It's way cheaper than the synthetics alternatives. I

wonder who put out the information about Armour being obsolete...

Way back in the dark ages before standardizing techniques, Armour was more

variable. However, now and for quite some time actually, armour is

standardized to the same tolerances as the synthetic preparations. So,

your doctors have not kept up with current information, for one thing.

Email Darryl Wesche, dwesche@..., and he will send you lots of

info about Armour and how it's processed.

What the doctors don't tell you is that Synthroid and the synthetic drugs

are not even approved by the FDA! They are currently undergoing

examination on their own merits....previously they were temporarily

accepted as a piggyback...they claimed they were not a new drug, just a

reformulation of Armour! Because of various problems, they are now being

forced to apply on their own merits! Drug companies had to submit the

applications last year, and approval, if given, will happen this year or

next! I would not trust Synthroid at all, as you may know there is a class

action suit against them, because they hired some researcher to prove their

preparation was " better " than others marketed, and the research showed it

was not. They moved to hide the research and prevent it's publication, all

the while charging more for their brand, claiming it was better. Now

they're having to repay customers who filed a class action suit against

them. I do not want to do business with a company as dishonest as that.

Also, I've read research that people using synthetic preparations are more

likely to have side effects, such as kidney problems, panic attacks,

depression and hair loss.

I could go on and on, but the point is here, 1. Don't believe everything

your doctor tells you. He may be misinformed or have received biased

information. Always ask for sources of information and check them out. 2.

No one cares more for how you feel than you do. Don't accept less than

feeling really well. 3. Educate yourself. You will be your own best

advocate. 4. If one doctor doesn't listen or isn't willing to work for

you, fire them, and get one who will.
