Dr. Steven Hotze, author of Hormones, Health and Happiness, has declared war on the conventional thyroid community -- and the drug company that largely funds it -- by writing, and saying publicly in interviews that hypothyroidism is vastly underdiagnosed, that blood tests don't tell the complete story, and that Armour Thyroid is preferable to Synthroid or other synthetic thyroid drugs. The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists has fired back, by attacking Hotze's appearance on CBS's Early Show. Things are heating up, and the war is just getting started. I've laid out the controversy for you in my in-depth article, where you'll also be able to watch Dr. Hotze's TV appearance yourself, read the various letters, and weigh in on this issue of importance to all thyroid patients! Jump into the controversy now.
