Why We Continue to Consult with
People and Publish drlowe.com

We consult with people and continue drlowe.com to provide scientifically- and logically-sound information that enlightens others and ourselves. Providing the information is our way to help them light their way from confusion, frustration, ill health, and suffering to a healthy, happy life.

We understand, of course, that obtaining and using scientifically- accurate information isn't the only solution to everyone's heath problems. Some need professional services that can be provided only by well-trained specialists. But for too many people, lack of relevant information is crucial to them recovering their health. Unfortunately, more often than not, their procedure-oriented conventional practitioners are not able to give them the information. We make ourselves available, as much as we can, to provide that information. We no longer practice clinically because licensed practice severely limited our ability to freely provide people with information they needed. We now continue our clinical and other research, and we provide information on what we have learned through consultations with patients, practicing clinicians, and people wanting to optimize their health.

We especially focus on providing practically useful information for those who have chosen to take their health into their own hands. We are dedicated to providing form them scientifically-accurate information that will aid them in making practical, health-inducing and health-sustaining information.

Limitations of Conventional Medicine. High tech medicine and fast-paced managed care in the US, and socialized medicine in many other countries, are efforts to help more people free themselves from disease and to become healthy again. Tragically, as Ivan Illich virtually irrefutably showed,[1]  such efforts have led to far more medical harm than good.

For the most part, this style of medical care has left educating patients out of the equation. One of our aims is to compensate for that deficiency of conventional medicine. We do so, again, by providing patients, clients, clinicians, and others with as much scientifically-based educational information as we can that is personally relevant to them.

What We Do for Clients. In line with our educational philosophy, we see our consulting job as a six-part interactive process. It involves listening, learning about the individual client, explaining what we can, collaboratively exchanging ideas, helping people decide their best course of action, and teaching clients how to properly carry out their self-guided health care. During the interactive process, we give our clients the time they need to express their thoughts and feelings, and we ever do our best to understand them as individuals. We help them understanding what their test results mean and how these may relate to their health problems. We explain various causes of poor health and help clients design their individualized health plans to correct, compensate, or bypass the causes so that they improve or fully recover.

Clinicians. With clinicians, our job is to share current scientific findings, especially within the field of thyroidology, but also in related areas of study, such as adrenal disorders and natural medicine treatments. We also explain the clinical protocols Dr. Lowe's research of twenty-five years taught him.
