Marigold22,

Have you posted the correct link? There's nothing about thyroid or thyroid medication in the article.

But this group (Thyroid UK) could be considered to be a Campaign Group by some organisations, so it is relevant to us.

HB,

How are they keeping us ill even if they are spying on TUK?

In my opinion, doctors wouldn't believe in "Levo is perfect" and "Levo is all you need" if Pharma companies hadn't manipulated education for doctors for decades. Pharma also manipulates scientific research to show the results that they want to get.

I also suspect Pharma has doubled and re-doubled its efforts to cut patients off from supplements and medicines online. And they don't do it by using research or proving there is any danger. They do it by persuading financial organisations not to offer payment facilities to the people and websites who sell the supplements and the medicines that Pharma themselves don't profit from.

Keeping an eye on what the patients/customers believe and what they are doing and what they are buying will be standard practice for any medical-related company, I would have thought. I don't know whether they do it themselves or hire external companies. But one thing I am sure of is that they will be keeping tabs on any major health-related groups. HU would be a very useful source of info for loads of illnesses. And since TUK is one of the larger groups on the site they will have people keeping tabs on TUK and other big groups.

Because doubtless we are subject to 'eavesdropping' from big pharma, here's my personal Christmas message to them.

Do one. We are not your cash cows. For some of us, levo is useless sh*t and you have persuaded the medical profession it's a miracle panacea. I'm done swallowing your rubbish. Season's greetings, buttheads.

Rapunzel I adore your attitude... you say it how I always want to say it, but very often back off!!! The thing is that this forum has power within pissed off sick people, who have definitely had enough shyte. It's when we fully recover, like me now, and can grasp and understand what has happened, all the lies, deceit, conspiracy it seems like, that they need to be VERY VERY AFRAID :-)

Well, if you are worried about being spied on, don't use any Google product or service
