Re: re-Public Enquiry

[Guest guest]

Unfortunately there is a status quo between the drug companies and the

government. If we were to be treated effectively then the drugs bill would drop

and the drug companies would lose out - short term. Then they would raise their

prices and enforce their patents and everyone would suffer.

I don't know where we go from here, I just know that we are up against a wall of

opposition.

It still appalls me that we are treated with such disdain by the so called

'health professionals', if we had any other illness I'm sure this would not be

the case!!!

Hi mary, yes, I also intend to write to give them ideas about saving money.

If doctors diagnosed hypothyroidism correctly, and diagnosed euthyroid

hypometabolism 9or Type 2) hypothyroidism correctly, and prescribed the

correct thyroid hormone replacement for each of these conditions, they would

save millions of pounds in the UK alone. There are approximately quarter of

a million people in the UK who are not being diagnosed properly and

therefore not getting the treatment that would make them well. They are

having to leave paid employment and having to live on State benefits. They

are treated with SSRI's costing the NHS millions of pounds and prescribed

lots of drugs for each of their individual symptoms - again costing millions

of pounds. This, I can do. What I don't know how to do 'officially' and

'properly' is how does one start the ball rolling to get a Public Enquiry

going.

The list of dangerous consequences of low thyroid include: serious mental

problems, seizures, heart disease, diabetes including misdiagnosis and

complications, constipation resulting in colon cancer, all female problems

(due to high amounts of dangerous forms of oestrogen), including: tumours,

fibroids, ovarian cysts, PMS, endometriosis, breast cancer, miscarriage,

heavy periods and cramps, bladder problems leading to infections, anaemia,

elevated CPK, elevated creatinine, elevated transaminases, hypercapnia,

hyperlipidemia, hypoglycemia, hyponatremia, hypoxia, leukopenia, respiratory

acidosis and others....

Good idea Sheila- however another suggestion is that this govern ment wants

ideas on saving money.How about all the drugs people are needlessly taking

when one would do .All the people on antidepressants and on sickness who

could perhaps if treated correctly go back to work[if of course there are

any jobs ] The evidence for what is wrong here is what is happening in the

States After all if a lot of the forum who have trouble with badly taught

doctors went over there they would be treated quite differently[iknow

everthing is not ideal there and you need money] However the main point is

that at a time of cuts the nhs could save a bomb.I note what you say about

my friend with ME .She sees a nutritionlist but unfortunately not Dr P Iwill

be trying again with the help of another friend and try to get her husband

to help.Also where do I find thebest list of health risks for badly treated

hypothyroidism that an endocrinologist cant pick holes in and i saw details

of blood test ranges elsewhere in EUROPE and cant find it again please help

THANKYOu SHEILA
