Thyroid Madness, indeed, see: [DLMURL] http://www.thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/news.html#Dr_McDonogh [/DLMURL] published on Thyroid UK website.
"We were very sorry to hear that Dr Brian McDonogh was struck off at a GMC Fitness to Practise hearing on 19th May 2010.
The charges include the use of a screening tool known as live blood analysis, a test known as electrodermal test; the use of Armour thyroid which was, a) an Unlicensed medication, (b) Not supported by the British Thyroid Association, (c) Not supported by the Society for Endocrinology, and d) not clinically indicated in the patient's care because her measurements were normal and there was no evidence to support a diagnosis of underactive thyroid. There were also charges in respect of medical records.
These charges date back to 2002 and we have been informed that someone at the GMC acted very unethically in respect of this case.
From what Dr McDonogh has told us, we believe that he did not get a fair hearing. When you compare the recent hearing of Dr Sarah Myhill and the recent hearings of doctors who had actually killed patients, Thyroid UK believes that the GMC itself is not fit for practise.
Dr McDonogh is now practising as Nutritionist which means he can still do most things except prescribe pharmaceuticals."
