Here is the text of an email I received today from Public Citizen about this whole Armour Thyroid issue:

"Dear Ms. Shomon:

Attached is a copy of a letter we will be sending to all persons who received e-mails from Public Citizen erroneously stating that desiccated thyroid does not require a prescription. We regret the error. We request that you will immediately remove from your Web site any attack on our retracted information (and other related information that ensues from our erroneous claim that the drug requires no prescription). In the less-desirable alternative, we request that you print our full retraction and explanation at a location on your website with equal prominence.

Yours sincerely,

Peter Lurie, MD, MPH
Deputy Director
Public Citizen's Health Research Group"

Read their generic retraction letter that was attached now.

It took them three weeks to come up with this response. They may have finally discovered that Armour thyroid is not a non-prescription, herbal supplement, as they had been disseminating, but they are still way off-track when it comes to facts about thyroid drugs.

See my new letter that responds to them, point by point.

And write to them and ask them why they STILL aren't getting the message!!
