During a recent week at the Goldberg Clinic we saw six new female patients, three of whom were on Synthroid, a synthetic thyroid hormone drug. This was not an unusual week. For many years I have noted, with great alarm, the large numbers of women, some only in their twenties and thirties, who are being placed by medical physicians on thyroid hormone replacement.
The amount of glandular abuse I have observed over the past thirty years, that has been done to women via the medical profession is appalling. Needless hysterectomies lead the list. Unnecessary destruction of the thyroid gland is also much too common. This occurs medically via “replacement therapy” i.e. having the patient take thyroid hormone causing the patient’s own gland to degenerate over time or by surgical extraction or by the practice of having the patient drink a radioactive iodine solution which is attracted to the gland and destroys it. In cases of hyperthyroidism, after the patient’s thyroid gland is excised or radiated to destruction then the patient becomes hypothyroid and so enters into a lifetime contract of medical care along with bondage to the pharmaceutical industry for thyroid replacement hormones.
