In your November 2004 issue, in the "Diagnosis: Hypothyroidism" article (p. 46), Dr. Mary Bove mentions a "botanical thyroid formula" that she put her patient Gall on, consisting of coleus, bladderwrack, guggul and so forth. Can yon please tell me the name and brand of the formula and where it can be obtained?

J. Erickson * Via email

Dr. Bore responds: Gaia Herbs makes a formula very similar to the one I spoke of. It is available at many health food stores, For more information about this product, visit www.gaiaherbs.com. Hope this helps.

Better Nutrition readers should be aware of misleading information found in the January 2005 issue ("Sharing," p. 8). The letters misinform readers with unsubstantiated claims and distortions about Splenda brand sucralose.

Such comments have no foundation in sound science and serve only to confuse and unnecessarily alarm consumers. It is important that your readers know the facts.
