It is all about the money, no other concern. The same as it is illegal to pump your own gas in New Jersey "because safety". It would be a valid concern unless every other place in the world had already shown it isn't one.
For some reason, it is considered impolite in American politics to consider other places' experience.
Not a synthetic hormone, actual bits of ground up pig thyroid.
Here's one UK doctor who rejects the current science around thyroid function:

And she mentions another doctor: Dr Kenneth Blanchard
Neither of these doctors can work for the NHS. They have to work privately.
So, explain how "it's all about money" here? Who makes money by preventing her from taking NHS patients and mis-prescribing them thyroxine?
If you pooe around her site you see she'll happily point you toward providers of blood tests, and she'll interpret the results for you, and on the back of her interpretation she'll sell you some bullshit "miracle minerals mix" to cure anything.
I would suggest it is a basic civil liberty to be allowed to know about the nature of the blood pumping through your own veins.
I don't understand your logic - it's equivalent, e.g. To making me convince a financial advisor about any transaction I want to make, and pay him for the privilege of sending the order to the broker instead of me. It will equally help some people who have no idea or business doing what they do - and is totally incompatible with western ideals and practices.
BTW, It is a huge shock to me that I cannot buy contact lenses without a prescription in USA. Seriously ?
