RE: Re: circadian protocol and ndt

[Guest guest]

I am not sure three weeks is a good minimum time because NDT contains T4 and T4 usually kicks in about six weeks.    So personally I would say every six weeks.     There is no need to worry about how long to be on it because you will increase every six weeks until you feel OK and then keep to it until such time as you don't.    This might mean either way too much or too little.

If 3 weeks is a good minimum time to wait to increase your NDT dose...how long is 'too long' to stay on an NDT dose before increasing? 4 weeks? 5? 6 or 8? does anyone know?

Check out the attached document. This is 'How to Use natural

thyroid extract. This is in our FILES SECTION under the folder entitled 'All

natural Thyroid Extract'. We recommend increasing your dose every 3 to 4 weeks.

A22.HOW TO TREAT WITH NATURAL THYROID EXTRACT.doc

[Guest guest]

Nothing is ever fool proof, but if things start to go wrong when

you start taking thyroid hormone replacement, you can bet your bottom dollar it

is because you are suffering with some other condition that is associated with

hypothyroidism, e.g. low adrenal reserve, systemic candidiasis, mercury poisoning

from amalgam fillings, low levels of iron, transferrin saturation%, ferritin,

vitamin B12, vitamin D3, magnesium, folate, copper and zinc. If any of these

crop up, they need to be treated, and then thyroid hormone will carry on

working as it should.

We

recommend always increasing your dose by half a grain (30mgs) every 3 to 4

weeks, however high your dose is. Remember, we are all individuals and don't

all fit into one size shoe. You increase until you start to get symptoms of

hyPERthyroidism a couple of hours or so after one of your increases. These are

palpitations, dizziness, sweating, feeling agitated and generally symptoms of

hyperthyroidism. Take it easy, don't panic, these simply mean your body has now

found the dose it needs, probably for the rest of your life, and this latest

increase is showing that it doesn't need any more. Don't take any more thyroid

hormone that day, and the following day, go back onto the dose you were

taking before this last increase.

The

reasons we recommend increasing every 3 to 4 weeks by 30mgs is that you need to

find your optimal dose as soon as you can - staying on one dose for too long

(if it isn't the right dose your body needs) will not help you.

Thank you Sheila,

I did read that document, a few times actually....

but I was wondering then...

is 4 weeks the 'maximum' time you should be staying on a dose 'always'? even

when you reach 'higher' doses like 3 grains and higher?

obviously if this document is 'foolproof' then one would think so as it does

not say otherwise...

I was asking as I am approaching the 3 grain 'door' and was just 'curious'

(am on 2.5 right now....)

If someone for example stayed 6 weeks at 3 grains I guess the 'negative effect'

might not kick in as quickly as it would kick in at the really low doses of 1/2

a grain or one grain? x
