Dear Thyroid Folks,
Thank you to each and all who have done
something, anything, to support Dr. Derry.
Who Speaks for the "T4 Only" Brain Dead?
Endocrinologists claim to know what is
best for the T3 deprived. Is that what your
soul tells you is true? Listen to your inner
voice - quietly now - what do you hear?
Who Speaks for the "T4 Only" Brain Dead?
I had a humbling thought today. Are WE not
now responsible, not just to speak for
ourselves (those who have benefited from
proper, adequate {historically appropriate}
thyroid care), but are WE not also, now, the
ONLY ones who can properly speak out
for the thousands and millions now befogged
with inhumane, sub-therapeutical doses
of T4 (only) - those forced by the current
endocrine vogue into a living brain-fog hell?
{because a TSH test from an endocrinologist
owned laboratory says "TSH is okay" and a
drug company says "T4 should be enough"?}
We are those few who know the difference.
This, alone, brings upon us the burden of our
knowledge and experience. *We, simply, know*.
In our blood, and in our souls, we know that
we are better now than we were before - when
we capitulated to the powers that be, and "got
by" with paltry bits of T4 determined by TSH
alone.
We are the remnant who can speak from
experience, for reality - as opposed to the
big lie that the dominant paradigm promotes -
"all you need is synthetic T4 - enough to
keep your TSH near a 95% normal range."
This is an enormous, humbling, moral and
political burden. I, for one, am stunned and
was at first immobilized by the gravity of this
responsibility.
Thousands and millions are unable to speak
due to their hypothyroid, iatrogenic (health care
system induced) stupor. They have been
drugged beyond complaint - in effect. [How
*has* such treatment become ethical?!?]
Who Better to Speak?
Who else can speak for them, other than the
endos who put them there, or we who have
insisted on coming back to the real world,
after living in that land of low T4-only limbo,
an intolerable, inhumane endocrine dungeon?
How should we, how MAY we, preserve our own
personal honor and integrity, and not proceed to
do *everything* humanly and heavenly possible,
within our grasp and within our imagination, to
support Dr. David Derry in this hour of crisis?
If I have overstated the case, I beg anyone to
show me the error of my ways.
Otherwise, I demand that each of you answer,
today, to your own God and your own soul with
the action *you* have taken to right this grave
and widespread wrong. I charge you as a person
now able to speak for yourself, and, morally, as
a person now uniquely able to speak for those
unable to speak for themselves.
Pax,
