Hah. Ole Al has probably been called lots of names in his time, by constituents, enemies, etc., but I bet nobody's ever called him a hypothyroidite. Yet, one can only marvel at the similarities in appearance between himself as of late and the other well-known examples in the photos you posted. A typical response of one who is concerned at being called that might be to go have a TSH test done, but, as we now know, those tests have little meaning, and even less in the hands of iodine-illiterate MD's, which over 99% of them are by my calculation. Their medical texts only refer to it in terms of its effect on thyroid. How short-sided is that, for where we are, 21st century ??? I'm available for consultations, but while I'm fast and good, I'm not cheap. One can never get all three at the same time. Most MD's are fast and expensive.
