Readers Are Riled Up About the Worst Pills, Best Pills Attack on Armour

Friday May 23, 2003
I've been getting many emails today regarding the article that went out in today's newsletter about Armour. Here's one:

Thanks once again for keeping up on what is going on in the Thyroid Medication world! It saddens me that a publication like BPWP would publish an article with such arbitrary and outdated information as this one. I have not read the original article, but rely on your experience and honesty in reporting on it. I wrote you a long time ago when I first became Hypothyroid thanking you for all the information you so carefully research for us. I wanted to write again to thank you for this thoughtful article. I have been on Armour just over a year, and the difference has been wonderful! Winter 2001-2002 I was dead to the world and hardly able to face each day, when my Dr. put me on Armour I felt much better and this past winter (2002-2003) I was able to do more and had more energy. I didn't dread every day and am doing great! Thanks again and keep up the great work! We really need you!

Mary, You are "Right On"!! Awesome opinion!. This is my first letter to you. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's about 14 years ago and have had minimal relief, if any, from synthroid. In the last 2 years I have been taking health store thyroid and adrenal supplements and feel the best I have in years. I have stopped taking synthroid now and have felt just as good if not better without it!! That and now with the Adkins low carb diet I feel great as long as I also avoid too much stress. I also excercise. Thank you for what you have done on the part of people with this condition.
