Dear Member

I am delighted to be able to tell you that Dr Honeyman has agreed to become one of our TPA Medical Advisers. The following is a copy of her response, and below is her bio.

"Dear Sheila and TPA Members,

It's my honor to accept the invitation to serve on your Medical Board of Advisors along with Drs. Peatfield, Skinner, and Teitlebaum. TPA is a wonderful forum for doctors and patients to share information and ideas to improve health and wellbeing of thyroid patients. I look forward to working together to bring the standard of care for thyroid and adrenal patients into the 21st century.

Kindest regards,

Dr. Honeyman"

Dr. S. Honeyman is an integrative doctor, author, and lecturer with special interests in functional medicine and endocrinology. She began her health care career in 1973 and since 1996 she has focused on accurate, in depth diagnostics and effective treatment for patients with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, hypothyroidism, thyroid hormone resistance, and adrenal problems. Many, many patients worldwide have recovered their health under her clinical guidance.

Basic sciences, current research, and old-fashioned common sense are the foundations of her practice. Standard thyroid blood tests detect problems with production of thyroid hormone. Dr. Honeyman goes a step further and measures resting metabolic rate as an indicator of tissue responses to thyroid hormone. Most doctors don't consider how well thyroid hormone receptors are actually responding and she sees this as one of the main problems with today's "standard of care" for thyroid patients. Symptoms do matter and changes in the intensity are the essence of metabolic rehabilitation's monitoring process.

Nearly half of her patients are diagnosed with thyroid hormone resistance and need to use T3-only medications to recover health. Another divergence from the "standard of care" is her recommendation to use desiccated thyroid hormone supplementation rather than T4-only products. She's grateful that she can provide patients with an excellent over-the-counter desiccated thyroid supplement when needed.

Dr. Honeyman is the director of Fundamental Physiology, LLC/ Center for Metabolic Health, LLC in Boulder, Colorado, USA. She coauthored "Your Guide to Metabolic Health" and since it is no longer available she's currently writing an even better book for the general public. You can learn more about her ideas and services at www.funphysio.com.

Hi Sheila

I have been in touch with the organisation in the past via the forum and decided to visit Dc Peatfield in May 2011. He has been following me for the past few months but until recently (last 3 weeks) , I have not been able to get hold of him via his Surrey office. Line is constantly busy, no response from my fax or messages left.

Something is not right. Do you know if Dc Peatfield is still in activity or something may have happened?

Thank you

Kind regards

It is very difficult to get hold of him as you say, his phone is

always engaged. Best to send a FAX if you have access to a FAX machine, failing

which, send him a letter asking him to call you.

Luv - Sheila
