Dr. Gary Pepper MD, who recently published a study showing a preference for NDT by many thyroid patients, has published a blog asking for support for an email campaign so he can present his findings at the coming AACE convention. Any help would be appreciated from any NDT users. PR

My apologies for not including the instructions, I was having a senior moment. PR

"I have made a request to the organizers of the yearly national meeting of endocrinologist, to allow presentation of our study on patient preference for Armour Thyroid. Several weeks have gone by without response to our request, however. A public campaign will help assure the new information reaches the nation’s endocrinologists. For this purpose please email Sheila Spitola, administrator for the national meeting, (sspatola@aace.com) , with the statement, “ I support an open discussion of use of desiccated thyroid in the treatment of hypothyroidism. The authors of Conversion to Armour Thyroid from Levothyroxine Improved Patient Satisfaction in the Treatment of Hypothyroidism, should be given the opportunity to present their data at the 2015 national AACE meeting. “

That's what I have done.

Or have I misunderstood?
