Dr. Broda Barnes vs. Mainstream Medicine
-
I just finished Hypothyroidism by Dr. Broda Barnes and I've found it convincing, but almost too good to be true.
A major claim like "94% of those who...should have been candidates for heart attacks during the study were protected from them by thyroid therapy," across a 1500 person sample, seems shockingly high and worthy of much more research. My question is then, with such a massive success rate, why haven't these therapies been explored further by mainstream medicine? As stated in the book, they are much cheaper than the standard treatments, but that can't be the only reason, can it?
Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere or is a dumb question. Still new to this.

This is quite a grand question splithead. Maybe you don't really want to know so quickly.
The heart in particular seems quite pivotal in health and nonsense detection.

@ThinPicking Gotta represent the goat PilotRedSun.
I'm pretty open minded. I got to Peat and all of this through twitter, so I've heard of the suppression. I was hoping there was a simpler explanation though. Suppose I must read some more.

From someone else there is. My context window is a little too big rn.

Easy does it.

@splithead_ the role of hypothyroidism as a factor in heart disease is pretty well known in cardiology. All new acute cardiomyopathy pts typically have TSH labs ordered on them.
Unfortunately, it’s not so much thought of to prevent heart disease as it’s blamed once heart disease has been discovered. At which point they’re usually referred to an endocrinologist or pcp to manage thyroid meds

@splithead_ You should read Peat's book Generative Energy. The chapter The tradition of truth explains why "mainstream" didn't catch on.

@functionalgirl Interesting, glad to hear that. Better than just ignoring it.
@jgs130 I will start that one soon, thanks.

Healthcare is for profit; not about health.
Deemed the Medical Industrial Complex:
“The MIC refers to a network between pharmaceutical corporations, health care personnel, and medical conglomerates to supply health care-related products and services for a profit.”
