Dr Gina Honeyman
Dr. Gina S. Honeyman is an Integrative Doctor, Author, and Lecturer with special interests in functional medicine and endocrinology. She began her health care career in 1973 and since 1996 she has focused on accurate, in depth diagnostics and effective treatment for patients with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, hypothyroidism, thyroid hormone resistance, and adrenal problems. Many, many patients worldwide have recovered their health under her clinical guidance.
Basic sciences, current research, and old-fashioned common sense are the foundations of her practice. Standard thyroid blood tests detect problems with production of thyroid hormone. Dr. Honeyman goes a step further and measures resting metabolic rate as an indicator of tissue responses to thyroid hormone. Most doctors don’t consider how well thyroid hormone receptors are actually responding and she sees this as one of the main problems with today’s “standard of care” for thyroid patients. Symptoms do matter and changes in the intensity are the essence of metabolic rehabilitation’s monitoring process.
Nearly half of her patients are diagnosed with thyroid hormone resistance and need to use T3-only medications to recover health. Another divergence from the “standard of care” is her recommendation to use desiccated thyroid hormone supplementation rather than T4-only products. She’s grateful that she can provide patients with an excellent over-the-counter desiccated thyroid supplement when needed.
Dr. Honeyman is the director of Fundamental Physiology, LLC/ Center for Metabolic Health, LLC in Boulder, Colorado, USA. She coauthored “Your Guide to Metabolic Health” and since it is no longer available she’s currently writing an even better book for the general public.

Dr Peatfield qualified at Guy's Hospital in 1960 and worked for two years
in the Croydon Hospitals before entering general practice. Increasing
disenchantment with the NHS decided him to enter private practice where
he at once felt drawn to the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid problems.
Much impressed by the work of Dr Broda Barnes in the USA, he visited the
Barnes Foundation and returned to the UK determined to improve the lot
of patients with thyroid illness. 
Dr. Gordon Skinner, a distinctly Scottish man and dedicated doctor loved
by his patients, has chosen a road seldom travelled by medical doctors.
He advocates common sense hand-in-hand with mainstream medical science.
Some ten years ago he was asked by colleagues to see patients who were
deemed to have myalgic encephalopathy or chronic fatigue syndrome or post
viral syndrome or post viral fatigue on account of his interest in virus
disease. He noted that a number of these patients had clinical features
of hypothyroidism but had 'normal' levels of thyroid hormones which would
lead most workers in the field to reject a diagnosis of hypothyroidism.
Dr. Teitelbaum is a board certified internist and director of the Annapolis
Center for Effective CFS/Fibromyalgia Therapies. Having suffered with
and overcome these illnesses in 1975, he spent the next twenty-five years
creating, researching, and teaching about effective therapies. His office
is in Annapolis, Maryland (410-573-5389). He is the senior author of the
landmark study "Effective Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia
-- a Placebo-controlled Study". He lectures internationally. He is also
the author of the best-selling book From Fatigued to Fantastic!
, Three Steps to Happiness! Healing through Joy, and the recently
released Pain Free 1-2-3- A Proven Program to Get YOU Pain Free!
