Surely you are well aware of the incestuous relationship that exists between the pharmaceutical companies and the AACE. If not, then just visit their website corporate sponsor page, found at www.aace.com/CAP.php. That pretty much tells the whole story. The AACE, like most medical specialty societies, has sold out to the pharmaceutical companies who pour billions of dollars every year into marketing their latest drugs to physicians by supporting medical societies, their publications and their conferences. The old adage remains true, if something, which seems reasonable and makes common sense, is not endorsed by the powers to be, then just follow the money trail.
Many AACE members are guilty of ruining the lives of millions of women whose hypothyroid conditions they leave untreated.
May I recommend for your consideration that you host a debate between Bill Law and me over the correct evaluation and treatment of hypothyroidism? Properly advertised it would draw a huge audience of women in mid life who are fascinated by the problem of hypothyroidism. It would compete for the same audience as Desperate Housewives.
Please feel free to let me know if ever I can be of service to you.
With kind regards, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Steven F. Hotze, M.D.
