I received this month's WDDTY magazine this morning as I subscribe. As usual there are some very interesting articles.

There are some other articles that are real eye openers, well worth a look. I subscribe but you can buy a copy from WHSmith, One Stop and some supermarkets in a few days.

Since when was Tertroxin "natural"?

Since when was "Eltroxin" the "usual UK version ..."?

Correct grammar, correct spelling, and fact checking seem to have disappeared in the modern age. I was reading an article about the basal temp test, developed by Dr. Broda O Barnes, SHE was a thyroid expert in the US. PR
