Sorry to NAG, but we need over 1000 counterexamples to T4-only Therapy

[Guest guest]

IF YOU HAVE NOT YET REGISTERED YOUR THYROIDE STATUS ON THE

REGISTER OF COUNTEREXAMPLES, PLEASE WILL YOU DO THIS (IF YOU QUALIFY) AND POST

THIS INFORMATION TO AS MANY THYROID SUPPORT FORUMS OR OWNERS OF THYROID WEB

SITES YOU KNOW SO WE CAN SWELL THE NUMBERS. WE NEED AT LEASTG 1000.

Sheila (Thyroid Patient Advocate)

The

Charity, Thyroid Patient Advocacy www.tpa-uk.org.uk is in

the process of creating a World Register of Counterexamples to

levothyroxine-only (T4) therapy. This short survey is applicable only to those

who continued to suffer symptoms on T4-only therapy, and who found those

symptoms were mitigated or disappeared once they were started on a T3 hormone

containing product, whether synthetic or natural desiccated thyroid.

The

existence of counterexamples to T4-only therapy prove incontrovertibly that

endocrinology's stance is dangerously wrong. Their continuance of

practising in line with the T4-only treatment dictat for all sufferers of the

symptoms of hypothyroidism is pernicious.

It

is long overdue for endocrinologists to recognise that the symptoms of

hypothyroidism can result from (a) insufficient secretion by the thyroid gland

or ( insufficient levels of thyroid hormones in the body, associated with

peripheral metabolism and peripheral cellular hormone reception.

The

studies concluded that T4/T3 combination worked no better than T4-only

therapy for 900 participants, but already, the TPA Register shows 868

counterexamples (to date) to T4 only therapy. Our aim is to find at least

1000 counterexamples in order for us to challenge those flawed results. The

objective of this Register of Counterexamples to T4-only therapy is to draw to

the attention of those responsible authorities throughout the world, the dire

need for an urgent re-examination of the existing protocol for the diagnosis

and management of the symptoms of hypothyroidism.

If

you fit this category, please will you complete the 3 questions with either

'YES', 'NO' or N/A here

http://www.tpa-uk.org.uk/register_of_counterexamples.php

.. All responses will be collated online, and your email address (if you provide

one) will be used ONLY to contact you at a later date should this be becomes

necessary.

NOTE:

(A counterexample is a

situation which fits the concept or premise of an idea but produces a different

result. To be responsible, a scientist who finds a counterexample to

his idea, must limit or abandon his idea as unworkable, or not reliable.)

NOTE: Here is a list of those

countries participating in the creation of this Register to date: Unless we get

more cooperation from the rest of the world, there is going to be little we

will ever be able to change.
