About Dr. Lowe Latest Updates to drlowe.com

My main article in this newsletter was to be a description of the McCain bill. Having read the bill, I know that in its present form, it would devastate the dietary supplement industry. It would also deprive us of many supplements we're now free to use. And it would send soaring the prices of most supplements that remain on the market.

We learned yesterday, however, that massive public protest caused Senator McCain to withdraw support for his own bill. At least in its original form, the bill is probably dead.

To me, McCain's bill is a display of the awesome power of Big Pharma over our legislators. In response to the bill, however, another awesome power has displayed itself: massive legislator-persuading protests from health care consumers. That McCain has reportedly backed down shows that our legislators listen when enough of us organize and vibrate the ears of Congress with the word "No!"

The apparent downfall of the McCain bill, in my opinion, is one more failed attempt by Big Pharma to recoup its losses to the natural health movement. It has lost plenty, and it will make move-after-move through our legislators and the FDA to recover its financial loses.

We appear to have won this time around. But a price we must pay for continuing freedom in our health care choices is to keep our noses in the air. Before long, the stench of Big Pharma's greed will waft down upon us again in the form of some legislator's bill. When it does, we must pay another price to keep our freedom: that is to organize once again and deliver a resounding "No!" to Congress.

High Anti-thyroid Antibodies:
Associated with Adverse
Pregnancy Outcomes:
Even for Euthyroid Women

Women often contact us to express a common concern. Their doctors have told them that their high anti-thyroid antibody levels are of no importance to their health. The women also tell us how their doctors justify this belief to them: "You're 'euthyroid,' the doctors explain. "That means your TSH is 'in range.' And when your TSH is in range, your thyroid function is just fine. So don't worry about the antibodies."

But two groups of women do remain concerned: those who have tried but can't get pregnant, and others who have had troubled or failed pregnancies. Both of these groups of women have science on their side: studies show that women who have in-range TSH and thyroid hormone levels but high anti-thyroid antibody levels are more likely to be infertile and to have complications of or failed pregnancies.
