The document this page
introduces is a formal critique by
Dr. John C. Lowe. In it, he presents documentary evidence for the ineffectiveness and
harm of
thyroid hormone replacement for
many hypothyroid patients.
The studies he
critiques show that two studied types of replacement therapies were
ineffective for many patients. Other studies, which
Dr. Lowe cites, also
show that patients using T4-replacement have an increased incidence
of other diseases associated with hypothyroidism, and increased
chronic use of drugs to control the symptoms of persisting hypothyroidism and
those of other diseases.
