You can get that book at the website by the same name.Secondly, in a nutshell..."Testing: There has been a long held belief by endocrinologists and other physicians that adequate thyroid levels can be determined by testing the TSH and T4 levels. Studies are showing that such standard testing will miss 80% of thyroid dysfunction so most endocrinologists and other doctors will tell their patients that their thyroid is fine based on this usual testing. The doctors must run a free T3/reverse T3 ratio. Generally, a healthy person will have a ratio greater than 2 so a person with a ratio less than 2 should also be considered a candidate for thyroid supplementation. Many endocrinologist and physicians are not yet aware of the significance or ability to run this ratio so it may take some searching."http://cenegenicsrandysmithatlanta.com/cenegenics_atlanta_news_051809_weight_loss_leptin_reverse_T3.htmlAs I said in an earlier post - if you get the book, "Stop The Thyroid Madness" you will know all about the above quote, and you will know more than 90% of the endocrinologists out there…There are plenty of endos, however, that DO KNOW about the RT3 to FreeT3 ratio. The best way to find a local doctor is to call your local compounding pharmacy and ask them if they know of any doctors who are RXing Armour or compounded thyroid formulas. Then, call the doctor's office and ask if they routinely test for REVERSE T3 (and after reading, "STTM" you will know what questions to ask to tell if the doctor has a clue about proper thyroid treatment - especially if they understand T3 resistance...
