The current Wiki article on levothyroxine has many references, including:

15 Midgley JE, Larisch R, Dietrich JW, Hoermann R (August 2015). "Variation in the Biochemical Response to L-Thyroxine Therapy and Relationship with Peripheral Thyroid Hormone Conversion". Endocr Connect. 4: pii: EC–15–0056. doi:10.1530/EC-15-0056. PMC 4557078 Freely accessible. PMID 26335522.

Good to see someone has linked to diogenes, et al, research papers. :-)

Yes it's great news as long as those who are supposed to be knowledgeable read and learn.

You can lead a horse to water, but alas you cannot make it drink.

How can we make certain that the work of diogenes et al is read by those who need to read and digest it?

Throat, ram down again and again, publicity wherever it can be made, challenge the existing paradigm with the new, accuse naysayers of their ignorance and refusal to engage, rude if necessary - not me - that would make me persona non grata, but TUK can. Present the evidence ad nauseam until they are sick of it, and still go on presenting the evidence. Truth will out, even if it takes time, and the wrong will then in history simply disappear.

Ave diogenes

and the wrong will then in history simply disappear.

Not so fast! I want to be able to point and laugh for a good few years...know we should be better than that but the braggadocio, the arrogance, the cluelessness of pretty much the whole medical brigade...a Cadbury's smash moment if ever there was one - smash their certainties all to pieces!
