- I am on the speakers bureau for Abbott, but have only given 2 lectures in last 3 years. We can not mention Synthroid during the talks.6:13 PM Oct 7th from web
- Case: It is never wrong to get your slides for outside opinions. The slides belong to you! Get proactive. It's your thyroid, and your life.6:07 PM Oct 7th from web
- Case: The patient is the hero, and lucky she sought another opinion. She may have saved her family from this cancer,as it is familial.6:03 PM Oct 7th from web
- Case: No pre-op lymph node mapping, or CEA blood testing was done. No total thyroidectomy, and mandatory modified neck dissection either.6:01 PM Oct 7th from web
- Case: MCT is a different animal. Everything was wrong from the beginning. MCT was missed on the FNA, and at the lobectomy. No RET DNA done.5:58 PM Oct 7th from web
- Case: I asked for special stains. The stains were positive for Medullary Ca, MCT, not follicular as first reported. That changes everything5:54 PM Oct 7th from web
- Case: The original diagnosis made at a well respected hospital pathologist, was in doubt. I suspected a different thyroid cancer.5:51 PM Oct 7th from web

- Thyroid Cancer Patient's Dogma. Before beginning treatment for the cancer, absolutely get the path slides reviewed by an outside expert.5:46 PM Oct 7th from web
- Well, I have nothing more to say about the editor of a pseudo-science journal, but to recommend to all thyroid patients to stay far away.7:52 PM Oct 5th from web
- There is a reason Armour is hard to get.Only a few odd ball MD's like lowe are still using it,& poor thyroid websites are still pushing it.7:51 PM Oct 5th from web
- Finally,the web continues to foster these Pseudo-Thyroid MD's like lowe, who pass on false hope to thousands with 1892-1978 evidence.Why?$$.7:48 PM Oct 5th from web
- I have not answered lowe before, but felt the need to counter his fairy tail story about Armour,which would be be great if it was only true.7:42 PM Oct 5th from web
- The final nail in the Armour coffin: Armour is not physiological. The T4:T3 ratio is dangerously high at 2.8:1. The correct ratio is 14:1.7:38 PM Oct 5th from web
- 1950'sPre-modernTSH time.TSH could only read < 10 in the 1960-70"s.
Patient's RX was based on inaccurate clinical information.How you feel?7:36 PM Oct 5th from web
- lowe states that 1950 studies showed animal thyroid and T4 were equal.
Please ask lowe why he had to go back to 1950 to find data?7:32 PM Oct 5th from web
- I started in 1967,& saw the damage caused by animal thyroid before TSH testing. Hypoglycemia,atrial fib, MI's, at more.7:31 PM Oct 5th from web
- lowe fails to mention how many people died, & had complications due to excess thyroid due to animal thyroid before proper TSH testing.7:28 PM Oct 5th from web
- Armour was the treatment of choice in 1982-1960, by default. There was nothing to compete with it. Then real human T4 Synthroid came out.7:27 PM Oct 5th from web
- "Thyroid Science" is not a recognized journal to get expert information to decide what is the proper therapy in 2009,& lowe is not an expert7:25 PM Oct 5th from web
