I support this petition. Stop the Thyroid Madness and START THE HEALTH AND WHOLE FOOD MADNESS! Get back to the basics of not fixing the thyroid... but finding out the true reason why the thyroid may not be working at its full potential!
I was diagnosed as hypothyroid 2 years ago. I am on Levothyroxine and my endrocologist will not listen to any of the suffering which I am having to endure. He insists T4 is enough and everything is \
T4 only treatment has robbed me of most of my life. Thanks NOT! Not only that a fortune for the NHS could have been saved on unecessary pills if I had been treated properly from the outset. SHAME ON THEM! They worship Money.
I was left withouth treatment and severe symptoms of hypothyreosis for over 10 years with a TSH of over 7.That forced me to stop my education and live of social support apart from ruining my health- during these 10 years I got Tinnitus, hardness of hearing and infections so that I could hardly leave my bed because of the fatigue, too.Today, treated, I work. I feel I have been violated in my bodily health by endocrinologists that denied me a diagnosis and treatment.
I can only endorse and re-emphasize all points that have been said in this petition above!Please also join the International Hormone Society intlhormonesociety.org (membership is free), which is the third-major endocrine society of the world, founded by doctors who treat according to the above petition, which is not funded by pharmaceutical companies, and which strives to defend patients and doctors alike in order to make precisely the kind of treatment suggested above available to all.
