Re: Starting NDT possibly

[Guest guest]

Hi blood tests ONLY show the level of thyroid hormone that

is in your blood, so are pretty useless really. You need to know the level of

thyroid hormone that is actually being used by the cells and tissues. If this

was me, I would start a trial using half a grain (30mgs) for 7 days, and then

add another 30mgs and stay on that for 3 weeks, before adding another 30mgs

daily. Increase in this way (unless you are having symptoms of hyPERThyroidism)

until you find the level of thyroid hormone replacement your body requires. Go

to our FILES section and check out the folder 'Natural Thyroid Extract' and in

there, you will find the FILE 'How to Use natural thyroid extract' and read all

the information there.

i am thinking of trying NDT to see if it gets basal temp up from 36c which is

where it is now ; do you think it's best to get tests done of baseline t4 + t3

or just start a trial? i suppose it is best to test really isn't it. maybe i

should also give it longer for the T to work as the dr i spoke to said it takes

6-12 months to have a metabolic effect.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

ps - sorry to anyone i owe an email to, been busy lately too busy to reply to stuff

hi chris ...i was wondering how you were feeling after (i think) two

testosterone jabs so it's good to hear you feel a bit better.

i think you'd be wiser to wait at least a few more weeks/t jabs until even

thinking about trying ndt and to be honest, given the apparent state of your

adrenals when you had the synachten test it would make more sense perhaps to

concentrate of nurturing them first, or are you still taking hc?

have you completely discounted the hcg diet because that seems to me tailor-made

for you { 'scuse the pun on your name }

well done for dumping sugar and resisting junk food, that's a very good

achievement.

i came across this bit of information the other day ...seems fairly pertinent

given your low body temp:

" Enzymes are the specialized proteins which facilitate every chemical reaction

in the body. Human enzymes are designed to operate at a constant temperature of

98.6 degrees. When the temperature drops more than 0.4 degrees below that,

symptoms may appear from every part of the body due to the fact that enzymes are

not functioning correctly thus slowing metabolism. "

and thyroid ie high protein using up thyroid

i must have missed this info ...is it dr broda barnes or another one do you

know?

testosterone - it was, as i suspected, a major cause of my problems (just like

sleep apnea, 2-0 to me vs doctors!). there are some

Hi Sheila

Thank you for your thoughts on starting NDT, i may start it in the manner you

suggest or i may not, i don't know. it is hard to know what to do.

Hi Trish, thanks for your reply

i was doing well but then the form of T that i'm on wears off quick and don't

feel good now at all. next one tuesday.

not on HC, no.

regarding HCG diet, just concerned about it, want to be optimal on all hormones

before i did something like that and i think if i were optimal i'd lose weight

anyway?
