John C. Lowe om T3 alene

Dr. Kenneth Blanchard’s answer to a woman named Annie who asked him how he feels about prescribing T3. If he is right, I’m afraid I’m heading for trouble with Cytomel. I am concerned, so I’ll be grateful if you’ll respond to his answer to Annie:


"The important thing in prescribing a thyroid hormone is that you have to attain the right T3 in the body. I don't think that anyone is well served by using T3 only. Dr. Wilson published a book in 1991 called Wilson's Syndrome. This book is interesting in that it has many pages of glowing testimonial letters. The problem is that T3 slowly lowers the balance in the body. T4 levels fall slowly in the tissues. The patient feels better for a few months but then they [sic] crash. I guarantee that no one can take only T3 for very long. [Italics mine.]

As a thyroid hormone resistance researcher, I have for many years followed patients who have used T3 alone, some for up to seventeen years. And, of course, I’ve followed myself for a full twenty three. Have we "crashed," as Dr. Blanchard claims we inevitably will? Absolutely not! My follow-up of long-term T3 users shows that most are healthier than people in general. And this is true of myself now within two weeks of the age of sixty-two.

Dr. Blanchard’s "guarantee that no one can take only T3 for very long" is as concretely false as the claim that the earth is flat.

Wow- Jeg er veldig spent på dette med T3 ( som er armour??) Det er ganske utrolig at dette ikke blir forsket mer på i forhold til hvor mange som har stoffskifteproblematikk. Som jeg har skrevet i et tidligere innlegg. Har jeg selv gått først 10 år umedisinert og 10 år med levaxin, som ikke har gitt god nok effekt. Om ikke lenge skal jeg endelig få prøve ut armour.

hei Sienna

Armour og andre thyroider er både T3 og T4 i samme tablett. En 60 mg (kalles også 1 grain i USA) inneholder ca 38 mcg T4 og ca 8-9 mcg T3. Det blir spennende å høre om Thyroid fungerer bedre for deg enn levaxin gjør.
