I'm a doctor & has just finished an important research which effects 10% of females. Addresses to announce it?

Autoimmune thyroiditis effects more than 10% of females and 2% of males. Destruction of thyroid gland by sensitized own-lymphocytes causes permenant hypothyroidism in more than 95% of patients. There've been no sps treatment modality to suppress this autoimmune war. 3 years ago, Prof. Gartner from Munih University shoed the efficiecy of selenium on suppression of autoantibody titers. Now we've just completed the 4th study on this subject. It's performed on the largest patient group and it has the longest period of follow up. It's confirmed to be edited in an important journal in June. We try to announce this important data to all professionals and patients. But nobody could understand the importance of this massage including the health service of yahoo, Lancet etc. This cilent revolution must not be deleted in this waste box of internet. Is there any people who reads these messages really? Yahoo? Are you there?

Do a press release using a service like PRWeb.com. Examples of what others have done similar to your needs:

You should also contact the related patient advocacy organization. Here are some links:

You are, I'm sure, familiar with the other extensive research on this topic. See links:

etc., etc. Try contacting those study authors and see if they can lend support and/or follow-up/collaborate on your study.

Also, try checking Yahoo groups, MSN groups, and similar online discussion groups to bring your info to the patients there. They are the ones you want to reach - they are the ones that matter and will bring it to their doctors.

Good luck in your research.

I do read them.

Why the f*** are you posting this here?

Hi yes!

I read as much as I can... this is a very important thing... I come from a medical family (dad is a neurosurgeon, grandpa was a GP), and I have assisted on many operations although I have no formal medical training I still find it fascinating.

I have a mother, 53 years old that suffers from hypothryroidism, and it is a ***** to live with, she has severe mood swings because of this, and she becomes lethargic when too much preesure is applied in her work, so it is a very important problem, and one I hope that has a easy outcome... because HRT's dont work properly and affects the homeostaic balance of other hormones...which of course has other repercussions, as well as the added danger of accelerated carcinogenic growths...

Please get this through... there are people out there that need you. I believe a holistic and less agressive approach would be very effective. but of course the medical world is run by the Basel based pharmaceutical companies... so unless you can prove a substantial monetary value of such a treatment I am afraid you will fight an uphill battle.

hope this helps, and would like to see what this question brings up.

I am a little surprised if you think Yahoo monitors every message left in its Answers area. Surely it would be more appropriate to go through the proper channels - again why are they not responding if your paper is as good as you say it is? I think you need to review your approach and use your spell checker!
