Re: Study results: T4 and T3 was superior to T4 monotherapy

EDITED TO REMOVE MOST OF PREVIOUS MESSAGE. PLEASE LEAVE JUST PART OF THE MESSAGE

YOU ARE RESPONDING TO. LUV - SHEILA

______________________________________________

There are lots of studies in this regard. The anti combination

therapy studies are marked by

1. Selecting subjects who are primary hypothyroid or who have had

thyroidectomies.

2. Replacing some amount of T4 with a low amount of T3

3. Ignoring any positive results because of statistically low occurance.

What this proves is that low dose T3 in people who have deficient

thyroid secretion tend not to need T3. What it does not say is that

folks who have post-thyroid deficiencies in peripheral metabolism of

T4 to T3 or the reception and use of T3 by our bodies' cells do not

benefit from T3. Hence these studies do not cover the entire

population of people who suffer from the symptoms of hypothyroidism.

The dose for T3 at 15 mcg per day works for my wife. The maximum dose

per US Food and Drug Administration approvals is 1.6 mcg per day per

kilogram of body weight. That is about 3/4 mcg per day per pound of

body weight. The usual dose is lower.

The study below is the first that I have seen with T3 does that high.

For the most studies the T3 does are insignificant or on the edge of

insignificance.

Have a great day,

Hey, just saw this post from ages ago...

I don't really understand what meant, could anyone please clarify?

Does this study not show that combination treatment is superior?

Thanks
