Dear Denise,

Thank you for your email. Both Dr. Lowe and I appreciate your concern for
the protection of desiccated thyroid. Dr. Lowe has been in touch with RLC
Labs to discuss this and as of yet, RLC has not received any notice that
they will be required to fill out a new application. The reason for their
particular unavailable product is that the raw material is on back-order
not because of the

It's raining heavy out side, but what is much worse at this moment in time is the feeling of doom and gloom in my heart.

The word is that the FDA is telling people who have called their consumer hotline that they will be requiring natural thyroid drugs to go through the New Drug Application process. The question now is, when? And will they pull these drugs off the market for the several years

Well I've been taking the Nature-throid for 1 week now! I do seem a little bit more tired than when I was on Armour otherwise no side effects, I have 140 of the Armour tabs left so I am going to go back to taking them as from tomorrow, as they have a much earlier use by date! That should take me to beginning of Jan 2010, when I will review the Nature-throid situation.

 If you have tried or you

I am still waiting for my Nature-throid to arrive but just to let you know of the information I have found at:  http://rlclabs.com/aboutUs.asp

RLC Labs, Inc supply Nature-Throid^TM, and claim that they provide the only hypoallergenic medication with a history of safety, efficacy, and consistent T3 and T4 content unmatched by anyone in the industry. 

I can not wait to try it, if it works as good

I can't believe it just as I am feeling great I get this awful, totally devastating E-mail bulleting from Mary

Check this out  Mary Shomon -  About.com - Thyroid disease guide.

They have changed the formula of Armour and it's making people ill, not working as good, apparently the new tablets are crumbly so when I get home from work to day I am going to see which they have sent me.

God this

That being wrongly diagnosed is rampant due to the very 'validated' TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) lab test result they support, i.e. a pituitary hormone, which can be "normal" for years before it rises high enough to reveal one's cellular hypothyroid state;

That thryoxine is the medication wrongly treating thyroid patients, since it leaves most all patients with lingering hypothyroid symptoms

I have shed a stone now since being on Armour thyroid, I started taking it on the 21st of March 2009 so just over a pound per week, I have done nothing other change from Levothyroxine, and if anything I am eating more!
To you Doctors out there who promote Levothyroxine and other synthetic options only, I would ask you to please consider that some people can be violently intolerant of it, as I was!

If there was any way I could prevent another person from going through what I did, I would do everything in my power to stop it!

Potentially thousands of people are walking around feeling miserable when I know you can feel so much better. I am not going to get into all the details because I am sure you will do the due diligence should this topic interest you. I know you address a

Dear Ombudsman,

I am writing to you because I don't have the internet at home and don't have much time at work! I have tried PALS and written to my ex doctors directly, I want something done about this injustice!

I have so many questions. I am truly mystified at why Doctors seem to delight in kicking patients while they're down!

I have been fighting my right to health for over two years

The NHS are Killing us!

 

Patients are been ignored, denigrated, overlooked, and under-treated and doctors who prescribed natural thyroid drugs like Armour are been written off as quacks, or irresponsible, or in some cases, even brought up on charges by the levothyroxine-only zealots on medical boards.

 

It's all one gigantic smelly mess and ARMOUR REALLY WORKS I am living proof! If I hadn't
