Natural
Thyroid Medication Shortage.
For the multitude of our clients who
take natural, desiccated thyroid
medication with great success, we are
giving you forewarning that it may be
difficult to refill your
prescriptions. There is a nationwide
shortage of raw material used to
produce the medications because Food
and Drug Administration pressure has
put all but two manufacturers out of
business.
While natural thyroid (from porcine)
has been prescribed safely and
effectively for decades, the FDA has
asked the manufacturers to submit new
drug applications (NDAs). Because the
cost of the application process is so
prohibitive, most manufacturers chose
to close down.
Forest (Armour) and RLC (Nature-Throid)
say they will have adequate supply in
90 days. Don't bet on it. The end
result is that you will be forced to
take synthetic thyroid for the rest of
your life, unless you stand up for
yourself.
If you are having trouble getting your
prescriptions refilled, contact a
compound pharmacist and ask them to
make a special formula for you.
Hopefully, they will still be allowed
to perform this service.
If you would like to voice your
displeasure over how these safe,
efficacious medications are being
eradicated, join the Save
Natural Thyroid Group or contact
your government representatives.
Should
Checking Vitamin D3 Levels Be Included
as Part of the Worldwide Flu
Prevention Plan?
We think it absolutely should be.
Recent data supports it as well.
According to an 8/31 report in Endocrine
Practice, which reviewed
studies from 1948-2009, "the
clinical significance of maintaining
vitamin D sufficiency becomes more
apparent. Several studies build on
existing research in vitamin D
immunology, which demonstrates a
likely connection among vitamin D
repletion, susceptibility to
infection, and clinical outcomes in a
variety of infectious processes. The
strongest evidence supports vitamin D
therapy for tuberculosis, influenza,
and viral upper respiratory tract
illnesses. Adequate vitamin D status
(serum 25-OHD level greater than 30 to
32) may decrease all-cause infection
rates in the population."
Need we say more? One other note: the
study also mentions Cod Liver Oil
being widely used as an effective
treatment and preventative for
tuberculosis in the 1930s. That is,
until the introduction of
antiinfective chemotherapy in the
1950s.
