Controversy about the use of Synthroid

Here is some controversy about Synthroid (levothyroxine) which is artificial thyroid hormone.
The difference between the animal and the human explanation of its authorized uses are completely opposite!

Human protocol:
Levothyroxine (Synthroid) should not be used to treat obesity or weight problems.  http://www.drugs.com/levothyroxine.html

Animal protocol:
What response can you expect from (Synthroid) treatment? You should see an increase in activity levels and mental acuity within the first week and some weight loss should be apparent by the end of the fourth week.

Here’s a great example!
Merck’s Manual of Veterinary medicine and Merck’s Manual (the human version) DO NOT Agree on the outcome of Hypothyroid treatment. 

The Veterinary manual expects results including weight loss! 

The human version DOES NOT expect any results at all!  The human version of Merck’s manual is written with the idea that the TSH and T4 tests are the only necessary tests and it at no point mentions any expected results of treatment other than numbers on paper!

Check it out for yourself! 
This link will take you to the Human version of Merck’s Manual Hypothyroid treatment page, scroll down to where you see “treatment” at the lowest part of the page:  http://www.merckmanuals.com/professional/sec13/ch162/ch162f.html#v981960

This link will take you to the Veterinary version of Merck’s Manual Hypothyroid treatment page, scroll down to where you see “treatment” at the lowest part of the page: 

Did you notice the complete difference in protocol and the fact that the human version is devoid of results?  Yet, the veterinary version expects results!

So, now what?   How deep are the lies really?
