Thyroid Patient Advocacy (Reg. Charity No. 1138608) www.tpa-uk.org.uk is in the process of creating the first world register to T4-only therapy. This short, but extremely important survey is applicable only to those who continued to suffer symptoms on T4-only therapy, and who found those symptoms were mitigated or disappeared once they were started on a T3 hormone containing product.
The Register of counterexamples will be used to draw to the attention of those responsible authorities throughout the world, the dire need for an urgent re-examination of the existing protocol for the diagnosis and management of the symptoms of hypothyroidism and challenge those studies previously undertaken (900 participants) that concluded that T4/T3 combination worked no better than T4-only.
Counterexamples prove incontrovertibly that endocrinology's stance is dangerously wrong. Doctor’s continuance of practising in line with the T4-only treatment diktat for all sufferers of the symptoms of hypothyroidism is pernicious. The number of patient counterexamples, at the present time, stands at 1610.
(A counterexample is a situation which fits the concept or premise of an idea but produces a different result. To be responsible, a scientist who finds a counterexample to his idea, must limit or abandon his idea as unworkable or not reliable. The T4-therapy does not work for all.)
If you fit this category, you should complete the 3 questions with either 'YES', 'NO' or N/A here http://www.tpa-uk.org.uk/register_of_counterexamples.php . All responses will be collated online, and email addresses (if provided) will be used ONLY for contact at a later date should this becomes necessary.
Many thanks for your support, and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a Very Happy Christmas and a Very Healthy New Year.
