Good stuff.
"Broda Barnes, Gordon Skinner, and John Lowe all claimed to be able to fix these things using thyroid drugs."
Where might I find the best layman's explanation of this?
Broda Barnes book 'Hypothyroidism: The Undetected Illness' is very layman.
Skinner published a nice readable book, 'Diagnosis and Management of Hypothyroidism', aimed at fellow doctors.
Lowe published "The metabolic treatment of hypothyroidism", huge and technical.
I put lots of links to papers and other stuff on: r/thethyroidmadness/
But I think you need to use old reddit to see them. Try: https://old.reddit.com/r/thethyroidmadness/
Quite so.
> I think the focus upon reducing LA in our diet is still a sound strategy.
Me too!
