Public Citizen Responds Re: Armour Thyroid...But They Don't Say Much

By , About.com GuideSeptember 7, 2003

Follow me on:

I received a response from Public Citizen's Dr. Sidney Wolfe, head of their Health Research Group, which attempts to respond to the patient community concerns regarding the group's condemnation of and inaccuracies about Armour Thyroid. Here's Wolfe's letter as it was sent, complete with misspellings, and chastising regarding lack of medical journal citiations! But the version you really want to read is my point-by-point RESPONSE to his letter, which includes the full text of his response, but refutes his points, and asks for actual facts to back up his opinions, and ultimately calls on Public Citizen to do the right thing, instead of continuing to dig in their heels to defend their own ill-informed position!

Read the Wolfe letter with my response now!

And after you've read the letter, get a word in edgewise over at the Thyroid Forum, where folks are offering their opinions on the Public Citizen fracas.
