This is the 'politics' I alluded to in my post to Sue.

I have found poor conversion of freeT4 to freeT3 underlying practically

all the the modern diseases. It seems to be the ONE common denominator

of importance.

I haven't looked at cancer yet but I'll wager I'd find something there

too.....

The Medical Defence Union must have been unwilling to defend him or he

must have felt certain that he would lose. Wakefield is funded by MDU

insurance which is vv expensive and which all doctors must pay in order

to carry on working.

Great post!

One thing that bothers me though is the inclination to use a thyroid

hormone replacement again. If the conversion from T4 to T3 is not

working, this means that the body has NOT got enough selenium, iodine

and tyrosine to effect this. Giving the thyroid what it needs may help

the thyroid, but what about ALL the other metabolic processes that

selenium depends on. If you have not got enough selenium, then

glutathione cannout be manufactured. We all know what happens with low

glutathione.

We need to go to the grass roots. Selenium has been rare on the ground

here for years due to over farming. The last time British residents got

an adequate amount of selenium was up to the mid 50s when Canadians were

supplying wheat which had selenium in it.

The iodine supply has dwindled also. In spite of that, the EU has

stipulated since 2007 that cattle feed should have half the amount of

iodine in it, from 10 mg/kg down to 5 mg/kg. This is one of the major

sources of iodine for the British. How strange to downgrade iodine

supply rather than upgrade it.
