An interesting article from Daily Mail 29th July - there is not a huge amount of detail within the article but I though it would be worth sharing:

Not a very good article, because it gives the impression that this treatment will cure hypothyroidism, which is not the case. It's to do with nodules and hyperthyroidism.

Does the clinic mentioned have an advertising account with the Daily Mail?

Yes - it shows promise. Yes - it's new.

Available to you, me and the greater population of the UK - no way. Even if we could all readily afford it, the clinic would only have very limited capacity.

Worth posting? Definitely. This could become widespread in years to come.

Not what you're looking for?
