As you learn from going to most seminars and visiting mentors, there are secrets that give you a
leg up and are a product of someone who has to have made a living treating this or that. Hypothyroidism Treatment undoubtedly proves to be the same.
Most of these tips I like to respect and apply if they are reasonable. They keep me from wasting time in getting to more successful therapies. Your patients get better or do better faster. The tip is experience based medicine. If we find a mentor that is bad, word spreads fast. If you find one that is good teacher you respect and co-share secrets. And so we all win.
Now comes the research part. If it doesn’t come from research it is no good to the community who does not practice in the field. This is true in the field of hypothyroidism treatment care. Here are the flaws of the double blind study technique. The implications will blow your mind.
The patients researched must be purely that with the disease. In view of the huge mineral, vitamin and nutritional deficiencies and all their hidden symptoms and system clogging natures, how can you find these pure patients? How and who can do “good” research? Then consider the subject of placebo effect. I will tell you that most so called studies are not true double blind studies with control for placebo. It is very important. When you are given the fake pill for the disease and or the real one, no one knows. Then at the end of the study everyone gets to find out who got what. Then the results are trumpeted and all change their therapies based on this “good” research.
“Well now” says the lady “Isn’t that special?”
So let’s look closer. Did anyone who got well on the fake pill ask what the patient thought during the taking of it? They must have felt it was the real thing because they got well (the dirty unscientific cheaters). Now here is the big one. Did anyone ask the people who were taking the real pill if they felt they were getting the real thing? NO. Yet their getting well was because of their belief and probably not the pill. This makes the result of the study and all double blind gold- standard- pill- studies VERY VERY SUSPECT.
To say it another way the belief of the patient is seldom measured. It is inferred in the ones that got well and were not taking the real thing. The belief contributes positive results to the positive patients that got well on the real thing. Point is the good out-come is NOT TRUE. It is flawed. The study is not accurate and its findings should not be used to treat live patients..
Now back to the experienced- based information. Still discount it? Still feel it is suspect? Should we throw it out because it was not done by a big research grant? I think not.
You See, we all went to medical school. Then we got out. Most doctors won’t tell you that what the found was they didn’t get much that worked well from their schooling. The guys in practice know. Isn’t it that way in Law School? I think so. I can now report that the animal base thyroid works better based on my experience added to the experience of my practice base mentors.
To help you in a possible skirmish with your doctor, have a read in the New England Journal in 1992 and 1999 for studies that fully back up what I am saying. The patients feel better and do better on animal base thyroid or on thyroid that furnishes T3 and T4. The editorial in the 1999 article stated that they were not recommending change, that those on synthetic thyroid were perfectly happy. I DOUBT THAT VERY, VERY MUCH. Who and how their happy patients were measured. How many of them were going to other doctors that were unnecessary? How many were on anti depression meds that would have not needed them if on good animal base thyroid? Their assertion is just that. It is only a feeling and quite suspect given that. The New England Journal has such a fine reputation and editorials are just that. But I submit to you that I don’t believe it.
Many of the patients I saw felt much better after being switched to animal base thyroid. Do I have tests and studies? No. I am treating the public and they do not want to be experimented on. They want the best I know and no more fuss. Lets see you skeptics, where and how would you design a study that tells the golden truth in light of what I have said above? Call me. Write me. Let’s get on with it. The patients are so in need of good hypothyroid treatment. Take a look at my other blogs and videos and learn more. To Learn my thyroid protocol click here
