Hello!

I have created an important hypothyroid message for our Health Minister. You can view it at: youtu.be/5jtloVyE7Mg I have also asked the Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt MP for a meeting so watch this space.

I researched and collated the information used in this presentation via websites of the BBC, NHS, Harvard Health, American Heart Association, Mind UK, Thyroid UK and Stop the Thyroid Madness. I have also included valuable information and research from hundreds of hypothyroid patients via the FTPO Facebook page.

If you like my presentation, please help me to make this go viral. I have sent this to the mainstream TV channels, however, please can you also send it to your local radio stations, newspapers, TV stations and own social networks. Together, we have a louder voice.

I apologise if my presentation is not 100% perfect for everyone, however, I think it gets the main message across.

I appreciate that what works for one person may not work for another, however for those of us that are still showing hypothyroid symptoms on T4, we should be offered a combination of T3 and T4 either with Natural Desiccated Thyroid (NDT) or a synthetic combination. Avoiding our issue is costing the NHS, and in turn, the tax payer, more money in the long run.

I also have a silent Prezi version if you don't want to hear my voice! prezi.com/0ljwmhl87lnv/thyr...

My contact details are at the end of the presentation if you want to get in touch.

Best wishes,

Vicky Vaughan

Just a thought maybe it should be sent to the BTA and Mr Weetman.Give him something to think about.

Thanks, that was brilliant.

I did try watching the Prezi version first but it wouldn't load for me. It may have just been a problem with my laptop though.

A very good presentation, a art from a few slides where the English needs a little correction (I'd be happy to help with this).

Also, there is another forum that I feel should be mentioned:

OMG! How many times have I checked this? LOL! Yes, I'd appreciate your list of tweaks please. I've sent this out now, but I may as well get it right for the next time. Thank you for your input. x

Excellent! Let's hope someone sits up and takes notice.

Can I make an observation? On the page "The elephant in the room" you might want to check the second sentence which says "We want to see the report that led to the NHS's decision to prescribe NHS", I think the "prescribe NHS" might be wrong?

Good luck, maybe the message will get through to the right people.

Oh bugger! Thanks SeasideSusie! I'll change it for the next batch of sending out. If the HM reads that far I will be deep in shock anyway. So annoying. I need a proof reader ... got any time spare? x

Thanks a million Vicky - that is amazing - surely someone MUST take notice! What do we do to publicise it? (Sorry, I'm not very computer savvy about these things!)

Thank you! Please can share the YouTube link? You can either go into YouTube and you should see a Share button. Or you can copy the URL link and paste it into your Facebook / Twitter circles. I've also written a press release so will post that up as a separate message. You can copy/paste the letter into your own email and send it to the list of emails I post. That would be really helpful and so much appreciated. Thank you x
