Thursday night, I'll be the guest of Janie Bowthorpe on her webtalk cast, a type of internet radio talk show. Anyone with a computer and Internet access can join the show. You can just listen in or join the conversation by asking questions. We'll talk about a wide range of topics of concern to those of you whom the endocrinology specialty has failed. We'll be focusing on how you can help yourself get well, just as Janie did for herself.

Show Will be Recorded for Later Listening. If you're not able to join us at the time of the radio show, you can listen to the recorded version that Janie will make available (as a podcast) after the interview.

Time of the Show. The show starts a little before 8:00 PM Central Time, 9:00 PM Eastern Time, 7:00 PM Central Time, and 6:00 Pacific Time.

Janie explained to Tammy and me how others can join in: "A call works like this," she said: "It will open up 15 minutes before the show starts, i.e. 7:45 your time [Central Time]. This means you can log in anytime during that 15 minutes. We recommend this, just in case in takes a few minutes. It's also during that pre-15 minute time that you'll see a box that isn't there now—it will show the phone number you call, plus a call number they will ask for, which will put you and anyone else right on this call (italics mine).

She also wrote: "To prepare, register and then give yourself a registered name. I'm
JanieofSTTM. Your could be Dr.Lowe or whatever you choose that helps others
to recognize you."

"Once you're logged in," she continued, "you'll see a text CHAT BOX. That will show who has logged in so far, and many will be chatting right in that box. That same
chat box stays right there during the call. One of my assistants named Darla will be right there in the text chat. She will assist folks before the call and
remind them during the show that they can call in and talk to you and me
live. We request that on the Chat, people explain what they want to talk
about."

About Janie Bowthorpe. Janie is like millions of other thyroid patients: she was kept ill on T4 replacement with Synthyroid for years. Then she switched to Armour. Her recovery after escaping T4 replacement led to her becoming a valiant, enlivening, and rousing advocate of thyroid patients kept ill, as she was.

In Janie's book Stop the Thyroid Madness, she describes her years of suffering and how she finally recovered. The book is extraordinarily inspiring for patients who want to escape the clutches of the endocrinology specialty and conventional medicine and recover their health and well-being. The book inspires me for several reasons. The first is that it's a survival manual, showing how those kept ill by a corrupt medical specialty and its corporate sponsors can escape and then recover their health and well-being. Hardly a day passes when I'm doing educational consultations with patients that someone fails to tell me that his or her first hope for recovering good health began when they found Janie's now-famous website Stop-the-Thyroid-Madness. I strongly recommend that both patients and clinicians read Stop the Thyroid Madness.

I hope you can join us Thursday night, or listen to the podcast of the program.
