"Unfortunately there is a lot of misinformation on the web..."

[Paul Robinson]

Less fortunate patients, long-term sick of hypothyroidism, have even lost a part of their linguistic and cognitive skills, and whether English speaking or foreigners, they have become de facto functional illiterate who can no longer fully understand texts with multiple semantic layers. Therefore they are looking for shorter and simpler sources of knowledge, such as messages posted by laymen in various forums, and from there get the knowledge they need, they think that they understand correctly. When one work for hypothyroid patients, one needs to have the cognitively damaged in mind.



Agree, but it's not the point. Everyone can not have read your book before they comment or reflect on others' comments on the Web. Outside the English-speaking area are people who do not know English well enough to read a book, but enough to read the posts on various forums.

The point is what people read on the web. Whether they have even read the book or not, it must be in your method's best interest that it does not become distorted. You are not just a writer and your book is not just the book any more. You are a pioneer who launches a new idea, and you should therefore expect it to be challenged, either inadvertently by desperate people's wishful thinking, or opportunists with their own agenda, whatever it is.

Our agenda is solely to point out that the method should be considered as an option, not as a promise, so those who are desperate for a recovery, they must prepare themselves carefully before they begin to try this method, because studying the second hand opinions on the web is not enough. For some people this may cause a backlash that could cost a long time before they are recovered from the trial. Since we are committed to, and feel responsibility for our users and visitors on this forum, it is our duty to point out just that.

Best wishes to you too.

The book makes it quite clear that this is an option and not a promise and so have I.

So, pointing that out is fine. However, the e-aware comments imply far more than this and contain errors. That was my duty to point out.

Best wishes,
Paul
