Even in minute quantities, triiodothyronine made a marked difference in 14 patients (one showed no response, and nine others showed slight changes, usually a decrease in resentment). To the psychiatrists trying to make closer contact with patients for more effective treatment, the important thing was that the 14 became markedly more responsive. In many cases the numb automatism disappeared. Emotions that had been buried in the unconscious came out in the open, could be dealt with in psychotherapy...
...salesmen insist the scheme works. Starting out with two slumping salesmen at the agency where he worked, Mikesell experimented on them "whenever we had time between deals."

Altschule guessed that this was because of big beef protein molecules in the extract. He set himself the job of isolating the potent fraction in the pineal glands from this kind of protein...
