Actually screw everything I said earlier. It now appears to me that poor mad placebo-effected confirmation-biased Broda Barnes was right all along, although I believe my reasons for his many years of careful clinical observations more than I believe his.

I recommend Broda Barnes 'Hypothyroidism: The Unsuspected Illness'. It appears that NDT is good for what ails you, pretty much whatever that is. I love the bit where he says 'I'm not for a moment claiming that thyroid therapy is a panacea'. I can only hypothesise that we are using slightly different definitions of panacea.
