Why not increase the dosage? - Tina

[Guest guest]

I'll try to answer; see responses within the message. BTW, I have Dr.

Hertoghe's book and it seems to have a wealth of information; thanks for

recommending it. One thing confusing is that my impression is that you

seem to have a great disdain for tests, while Dr. Hertoghe makes dozens

or hundreds of positive references to using tests. I thought you

respected him a great deal...

> ????? I can't really figure out what you are saying!!

Don't feel like the Alone Stranger; I obviously don't understand you either...

> You think we take " excess " amounts of hormones for what purpose????

I really don't know if you take excess amounts of hormones; so I obviously would

not have an opinion as to why you do something I don't know that you do.

> B/C we are naughty silly little patients? LOL

I've seen no evidence that you are naughty and have made no statements that

would tend to indicate such. I think it's silly to suggest that whatever works

for you will work for everyone else; we're all individuals. I think it's

foolish to take a considerable quantity of medications without reasonable

evidence that the same are indicated; but what I consider reasonable evidence

and what you consider reasonable evidence are two different things. I think

it's foolish to disdain the vast store of knowledge so painfully gained by

science and the medical profession. I think it's foolish to say, " all doctors

are stupid [effectively] " ; when any objective evaluation would probably reveal

that they compare most favorably with anyone making such a statement. I think

it's most foolish to prescribe for someone based upon a message or three on this

[or any other] list; and even more foolish to follow such a prescription.

If you are unaware that excess supplements can harm or shut down your thyroid or

adrenals then you are sadly uninformed.

> If you take " excess " amounts of hormones you will feel bad however.

Actually, in some cases you might feel better; at least for a short time IMHO.

But in fact you very well could suffer severe repercussions.

Quite possibly...
