I'm sure you have seen news about the FDA's recent concerns about the use of Tylenol in pregnancy. It has caused a lot of people to respond, sometimes very strongly one way or the other. Let's look at the information in a balanced way so you can come to your own conclusions.

FDA Letter to NDT Manufacturers: What Thyroid Patients Need to Know FDA has issued a letter to NDT manufacturers. Learn what this means for thyroid patients, why Synthroid isn’t right for everyone, and safer treatment options.

I have had several thyroid patients ask me about the recent FDA warning letter sent to the manufacturers of natural desiccated thyroid (NDT). The letter states these medications are technically illegal to sell without new approval. They have given these companies 12 months to comply or shut down production.

This is a power play by the FDA which has long been against the use of NDT thyroid medication. They want all thyroid patients to switch to synthetic thyroid formulations such as Synthroid (levothyroxine).

This is a major problem for a large number of thyroid patients. In my practice, the majority of my thyroid patients have issues with T4 to T3 conversion due to other sources of inflammation - insulin resistance/diabetes, autoimmune disease, and other chronic diseases. They get little to no relief when using T4-only medications such as levothyroxine because they don't convert it efficiently to active T3. We can add Cytomel (liothyronine) to the levothyroxine, but it often needs to be taken 2-3 times daily and can cause a lot of symptoms because the T3 is released all at once instead of gradually throughout the day like the body prefers.

Consider signing this petition if this affects you or a loved one. The FDA needs to back off of this demand for the betterment of its citizens.

I decided to record the audio book version of my thyroid management book. It is now available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. For those of you that would rather "hear" a book than read it, here is your chance to learn more about the thyroid.

If you find it helpful, I would appreciate a review on Amazon or Audible!

I did something. I wrote a book! After 3 years of hard work (harder than I expected), my book is now available on Amazon.

Over the years while practicing medicine, I got very frustrated with managing thyroid and other hormone issues. I was following the treatment guidelines, but most patients weren't feeling any better. That put me on a journey to see if there were better ways of managing them.

This book is the culmination of years of research - reading thousands of studies, consulting with various thyroid experts, trying different treatment regimens, etc. I don't claim it to be perfect - medicine is constantly evolving.

If you are frustrated with your current thyroid care and feel there may be better options, the book may help. If you have always thought you had a thyroid issue but you have always been told your thyroid is "normal," the book may help. If you are a medical provider and have had the same experiences as I have with patients really not feeling any better despite your best efforts, the book may help.

Send this link or buy a copy for anyone in your life that has a thyroid condition. I prayer is that is will help as many people as possible!
