helvella - diogenes documents

This document is a tribute to John Midgley - diogenes.

It lists as much of his published work as I have been able to find. Where possible, there are links to accessible copies.

The PDF of this document is here:

dropbox.com/scl/fi/cgnuorpd...

Adding:

If you find any actual mistakes, or know of any other papers, please let me know.

For the future, I have created a new blog page to link to the PDF.

What a wonderful idea. 👍 Thank you so much for doing it. 👍

I was amazed at how many papers Dr. Midgley was involved in researching and publishing.

[helvella Administrator in reply to humanbean]

It has been on my "to do" list for ages.

Just needed my head to be in the right place to sit down, think it through, and actually do it.

[amala57]

That's a wonderful thing you have done. Thank you.

[Tina_Maria]

What an impressive body of work!

And let's hope that his research will carry on and that there will be other researchers continuing to challenge the current thinking. I'll raise a glass to that!🍷

Thanks for making these publications available helvella , really appreciated!👍

That's a great idea. Only trouble is, I can't open the Dropbox file.

[helvella Administrator in reply to BB001]

Can you tell me exactly what happens? And what you are using?

[WiscGuy in reply to BB001]

I use an Android phone. I clicked the link in the post, and a HealthUnlocked page opened. I clicked on the link on that page, and I didn't think anything had happened, so I clicked it again, and it asked if I wanted to download the document again. I looked in my "Download" folder (using the Android "Files" app that is built into Android), and the document was there.

[BB001 in reply to WiscGuy]

Thank you, the file was there but I got the message 'file type not supported' even though I was careful to keep the .pdf on the end when I renamed the file. When I emailed this same file to myself then downloaded from the email, it opened fine. Weird

[BB001]

I'm using android phone. I don't think I've got Dropbox installed.

[helvella Administrator in reply to BB001]

You do not need Dropbox software/apps at all.

Most members do not have Dropbox installed. The link should start a download which will go to your downloads folder (wherever that is) and then it usually opens - but sometimes you need to tell it to do so.

There is a huge number of videos on YouTube about how to view PDFs on Android. I don't have an Android device to use to check whether they are any good - but some will be OK!

If you have Google Chrome installed, I think that can view PDFs. It is a matter of telling your phone that is what you want to happen.

Do NOT go off downloading apps. Especially not Adobe PDF reader. It is awful! You probably have something that can display PDFs.

Adding:

I've just realised that I no longer have any Dropbox software at all installed. Despite using the Dropbox storage. I use Maestral to synchronise between my machine (a Mac) and Dropbox. And use the Dropbox website for individual file handling. So there is certainly no need for anyone accessing my links to install it.

[BB001 in reply to helvella]

Thank you for taking the trouble to help. I don't know why, but when I emailed the downloaded file then clicked on 'open', I worked. There wasn't an option to "l'open with'.

[BB001]

Well that's my reading for the next 6 months sorted!

[grauntieannie]

That is a great idea - thank you so much Helvella!

[DippyDame]

And what a truly amazing tribute it is,.... as well as a wonderful resource for thyroid patients here at TUK.

Thank you for the dedication and time this must have taken helvella.

diogenes' down to earth wisdom and knowledge is greatly missed!

[LindaC]

Thank you so much, helvella! A thing of beauty and of joy! Sure diogenes would have appreciated your efforts.

[Bollieforme]

thank you this must have taken you forever to do.

[WaystarRoyco]

Thank you for being such an awesome human being helvella What an amazing body of work you have so lovingly compiled.

[helvella Administrator in reply to WaystarRoyco]

When I got to the end, I realised it had been an emotional journey.

And that was one reason I had been putting it off. But it was time to do it.

[FancyPants54 in reply to helvella]

I bet. For many reasons. Not least of which it was sort of final. We really have lost him. A man on our side. But this is a great piece of work from you. To ensure it's all in one place and not lost.

[bikebabe]

thank you - it’s a fabulous tribute.

[TorcHouse]

This is spectacular. Thank you very much indeed.

Thank you very much for this, helvella !

[AKatieD]

A real labour of love and really well presented!

[WildDeer]

I'm adding my thanks to you for making all of diogenes and his co -workers research accessible to us.

[Dandelions]

Wonderful! Thank you.

[TSH110]

brilliant work helvella!

[Ontherun81]

Thanks Helvella for the hard work you've done putting this together for the benefit of us all👏

[jgelliss]

What a Tremendous loss for our Thyroid world wide community. The Dr was A Genius with a very Compassionate Heart to Help us All.

Thank You Helvella for all you devotion and Compassion for our Thyroid community. The Silent Voices.

[holyshedballs]

Many thanks for your work on helping to keep John Midgley's memory and crucially his work alive.

[mcooper]

I really appreciate this, thank you. Everything I need in one location! I will be pushing my Gp for 3 month prescription in the new year as opposed to traipsing to the chemist every 28 days.

[wellness1]

This is brilliant, thank you very much. What an impressive body of work.

Diogenes was very generous with his time, as are you.

[ATVMWF]

What a miss to us all in the Thyroid community Dr M (Diogenes) is and that loss is keenly felt. His legacy is that he left behind such an outstanding and comprehensive body of academic research. Who knew there would be so much of it. Hopefully, the thyroid community will benefit in years to come as his theories and research are proven to be correct and we overcome the current domination by T3 naysayers and TSH being the gold standard test at the expense of all else.

Thank you Helvella for compiling this, not an easy task but no doubt a labour of love.
