Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Because of abuses the medical community has done to people going on for decades, it would seem that not very many take their oaths to " do no harm " very seriously. I remember a news show about black men who had syphylis and weren't told or given proper treatment so they could be " studied " until the end of their lives as to how they fared!!! When this finally came to light, many of the men were dead. I think the surviving members of the families were given some kind of piddley dollar amount settlement. Ever since the Phen-Fen recall I am leary of any new drugs. (I was on it for a year and a half) The FDA (government!) is not going to protect you. The big money drug companies have a lot of pull and influence on our government. It pisses me off that those of us who wish to self treat our thyroid conditions with an all natural product have to struggle for a resource to buy it OURSELVES because the medical community is so uneducated, stubborn and uninformed. I remember asking my nurse practitioner 2 years ago why I was prescribed synthroid, and not something else--(I knew about the recalls). She said because " it was the best! " )!!! No one in the office including a NURSE there who took synthroid knew about the recall. Back then I didn't know enough to argue with her. I am arguing now. Enough ranting for today!

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Yeh, but we shouldn't take natural thyroid cause it's like Speed, though. Of course we can go ahead and bleed to death and stroke out with Vioxx, Celebrex, birth control pills, and countless others cause, after all, they make more money for the doctors, surgeions, heart specialists, and the funeral homes too. The gift that keeps on giving. Re: Big Brother > > > Well we know Armour is over 100 years old but what about > naturethroid?
