A bit more of copyedits would really help the article. Can you lend a hand there? Aditya (talk • contribs) 12:38, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The English in there is generally atrocious. Any improvement would be a massive help. Aditya (talk • contribs) 19:26, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Stevia
Hi, Following up on your question to CorinneSD, who requested my input: The Stevia page has now been split into three pages, one for the plant genus, one for the plant species, and one for the product, which is what is usually done for plants that have an important commercial product like this one. I trust that makes it easier to decide how to add material to the Stevia page, which is about the product. (btw, I'm really just a plant person, so not able to contribute much about the product.)

Dessicated Thyroid Extract article
Sorry for the delay in responding. I was briefly away and offline. I left this message for you on my talk page but I copy it here since that is the suggested method of communication.


 * I am just an editor, researcher and vandalism reverter, not an expert in the field. The experts, together with some information on their fields of concerntration, can be found at WikiProject Medicine/Participants. Nonetheless, here is a little information from my research. I do have a personal interest in thyroid hormone replacement drugs, but that is a coincidence.


 * I think the information from RLC Labs would be a reliable and verifiable source. Prescribing information for Naturethroid is available on line at http://www.nature-throid.com/images/Nature-Throid-PI-Rev041121-03.pdf and shows the inactive ingredients. Of course, it does not show the proportions of these ingredients but I don't know why that would be important. Some quick research showed that Westhroid is the same as Naturethroid, although that was not always true. These are made from pig glands, which is information which can be widely found on the internet.


 * Armour Thyroid has the same active ingredients but slightly different inactive ingredients.


 * A couple of online sources, but the first is from High Beam so a subscription is needed if the information is not otherwise available on line:


 * Milner, Martin. Hypothyroidism: optimizing medication with slow-release compounded thyroid replacement.(Disease/Disorder overview). In "Townsend Letter: The Examiner of Alternative Medicine," February 1, 2007. Retrieved June 29, 2014.– via HighBeam Research (subscription required)


 * "USP dessicated thyroid or Armour Thyroid is made with a ratio of four parts of T4 for every one part of T3. This ratio is comparable to those in the human and porcine thyroid glands, which produce 75% T4 and 25% T3. One grain of Armour Thyroid contains 36 [micro]g of T4 and 9 [micro]g of T3. The T3 is released all at once, not slowly."


 * Quackenbush, Kate. Finding A Natural Hormonal Balance in Natural Practitioner — January/February 2013. Retrieved June 29, 2014.


 * "The main natural approach to treatment for hypothyroidism should be the use of NDT, according to RLC Labs’ Jinn. Two of the company’s staple products, Nature- Throid and Westhroid, are Prescription Versions of NDT, which currently falls under the federal monograph of Thyroid USP (under the specification of United States Pharmacopeia). “Under Thyroid USP, the desiccated thyroid gland is derived from pigs and the specific levels of T3 and T4 are very carefully monitored and tested to ensure consistency and reliability from batch to batch (the exact same consideration as the prescription synthetic thyroid medications),” Jinn said.


 * "RLC Labs also offers two dietary supplements, a-Drenal and i-Throid, which were designed to offer complementary support to the company’s principal hypothyroid drug. The main ingredient in a-Drenal is the desiccated adrenal gland, and various adaptogenic herbs, like cordyceps, ginseng and rhodiola, along with pantothenic acid (B5) to aid in combating adrenal fatigue. Meanwhile, the function of i-Throid is to offer main ingredients (iodine) in a solid dosage from the traditional Lugol’s solution therapy.


 * "In spring 2013, RLC will also be introducing Westhroid-P, which will incorporate the same Thyroid USP with only two inactive ingredients, inulin and MCT (medium chain triglycerides), for the ultra-sensitive patients."


 * Dai Jinn is chief science officer with Arizona-based RLC Labs, Inc., a company primarily focused on thyroid issues.


 * I hope that is helpful to you. Donner60 (talk) 06:13, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
