Re: Re: adrenal saliva test, Gordon Skinner

Am I right in assuming Dr S. does not take adrenal fatigue into account when treating hypothyroidism, and therefore, doesn't prescribe or suggest supplements/medication for adrenal support? If so, how dos he deal with patients who end up with RT3, because their receptors can't absorb the T3?LysaFrom: jennifer_roebuck2000 <roebuck_jennifer@...>To:

I do not know..but I went to him and he does not believe in Adrenal Fatigue..he says it is state or perfect - no in between. So perhaps he associates saliva tests with AF. I ended up seeing someone else . Hope that helps.

When it comes to diagnosing and treating adrenals, many patients

have to take this problem into their own hands. The NHS do not recognise that

anybody can be suffering with low adrenal reserve. They only diagnose and treat

those with 's Disease (too little or no cortisol secretion) or from

Cushing's Syndrome (too high a level of cortisol secretion) - and that is that.

Doctors, especially those who have spent years being harassed and

bullied (nay tortured) for daring to diagnose or treat thyroid or thyroid

related conditions outside of the NHS recommended guidelines have been reported

to the GMC and had their livelihood removed. Doctors will not risk losing their

career. Dr Skinner still retains his registration with the GMC and wishes this

to continue. Dr Peatfield, on the other hand, is retired and no longer

registered with the GMC and that is why he is no longer afraid to diagnose and

treat adrenals in those patients who suffer with low adrenal reserve. This is

one of the reasons we, at TPA, stress the need for members to get the necessary

tests done privately, and if necessary, to treat themselves. This is one of the

reasons we have so much information about adrenals in our Files section to help

all our members who find themselves in such a situation.

This is a fact, and a certain BTA committee member is still

reporting Dr S to the GMC every time he blows his nose. There is a vendetta

going on here and they are determined to get rid of him.

it's also worth bearing in mind that if Dr S

puts a foot wrong, he'll be gone, just like myhill and Dr P? that's my take on

it anyway.
