UW Medical Center and Thyroid Hormone Resistance

I was told by the office staff that the Medical Director of the University of Washington Medical Center said, "There is no such thing as a Type 2 Hypothyroidism epidemic."  "Tissue resistance to Thyroid Hormones is very rare" "We can't help you with the supraphysiologic doses of thyroid you need."   

Please read the book:  "Hypothyroidism type 2 : the epidemic" by Starr, Mark, M.D. In Dr. Starr's description of Type 2 Hypothyroidism, he presents overwhelming evidence showing a majority of Americans suffer this illness, which is due to environmental and hereditary factors."

The UW is supposed to be a leader in Medicine, but they don't BELIEVE a problem exists.  The last time I checked belief was NOT required for a thing to exist!  You must apply some time to Research and Observation to verify if something exists or not. Could this be because the UW gets Pharmaceutical Company Money (to make the truth go away)  for RESEARCH ???

"The University of Washington Pharmaceutical Outcomes Research and Policy Program (PORPP) conducts research and provides graduate and external training in health outcomes and policy research on health care technologies, with a focus on drugs,"  "PORPP is a nationally and internationally recognized center for pharmaceutical economics,"  http://sop.washington.edu/porpp

So, it is obvious they are in it to help the Pharmaceutical Company's economics, NOT the health interests of the people!
