I may be suffering from some sort of cross-cultural confusion, but Dr Morris’s website appears to exist solely to make him look like an irresponsible lunatic who has been handing out powerful hormones for weight loss, of all things.
Especially since I think that this has been tried many times and found wanting. On the other hand, my faith in medical science is perhaps not now as strong as once it was, and if he’s really an Ivy-League non-conformist, maybe he noticed the problem a long time ago.
What I liked about it was that he has apparently noticed that in doing this, he was accidentally curing Chronic Fatigue. Again, no idea whether what he’s doing actually works, or what sort of terrible side-effects it might cause, or anything.
But again, it looks far too obvious to be the right answer.
Does anyone know if there’s one of these maniacs in England? If I can find a semi-trustworthy source of T3/T4 I am tempted to experiment on myself to see if they work as well as desiccated thyroid. I’m a bit nervous of NDT myself since it’s probably an allergen, hypothyroids are prone to allergies, and I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if I caused one of the well-known thyroiditises by taking it.
One strong objection to Dr Morris’ idea is that if it’s T4->T3 conversion, then there so is a blood test to detect it. On the other hand, if he hasn’t been doing the blood tests, then he won’t have noticed that. And I now think I can explain what’s really going on. When I first looked at his website, I didn’t have the type 2 idea. It seemed like a minor detail of Lowe’s work, and I was focused on working out what was wrong with the tests.
Here’s another one I did look at ages ago:
