TSH high

[Guest guest]

Doctors are not big on natural hormones like Armour, because of pharmaceutical

hype, but synthroid has been cited many times by the FDA for irregular levels of

hormones. I have taken iodine without my armour and it did nothing to raise my

TSH.

>my TSH level was slightly high, at 5 (normal < 4). my free T3 was normal. My

Dr prescribed 50 mcg of Synthroid. Does anyone know if there is a negative

feedback loop that over time lowers the amount of hormones my thyroid makes?

>You might try taking Tyrosine and Iodine and see if that helps you. Brownstein

writes about the need for Iodine and Iodine and Tyrosine are the basis for

thyroid hormones. A TSH of 5 is pretty high as less than 2 is ideal.

>There is a negative feedback, if you take it from outside your thyroid will cut

back on production of any extra and you may need to take more of the exogenous

thyroid however if your thyroid can't make enough and taking supplements doesn't

help then you need thyroid hormone to live.

>Personally I prefer Natural thyroid hormone because it has both the active form

T3 and the storage hormone T4, Synthetic thyroid hormone has just T4. Many

people do better on the natural but not everyone so you need to see what works

for you.
