Compounded T3 ...was Re: Calcium Chlorite in Australia

[Guest guest]

ABSOLUTELY: THE PROBLEM HERE IS NOT WITH THE T3 BUT WITH THE PHARMACY, but your

T3 is only as good as your pharmacy. This was a " compounding pharmacy " ,

excellent reputation, and excellent record, in business for many, many years.

Just so happens that because some people were having problems with the dye they

were using as their mixing guide they changed their process. They stopped using

colored dye; therefore they had no way to visually verify that the powder was

thoroughly mixed. They made a mistake. I just happened to be the lucky one to

be the first recipient of their new process (or perhaps the victim of an

inattentive technician operating the mixing machine). I'm not suggesting anyone

stop taking compounded T3, only to be aware that even the best pharmacies can

make a mistake that can cause you major damage. If things don't seem right

after starting a newly refilled prescription of compounded T3 (or any compounded

drug), proceed carefully.

I have tried many experimental protocols the last 10 years for my lifetime of

FMS/lyme and company and have on several occasions made myself extremely

sick…but without the experimentation and taking some chances, I would not have

made the progress that I have achieved. I'm a " tough " old bird…but, that being

said, being poisoned by extremely high doses of improperly compounded T3 was an

absolutely horrific experience both mentally and physically, with frightening

consequences…and having experienced it once, will not go there again if at all

possible. (The T3 was to support me because of the LD, not because labs

indicated I needed it. I'm now using Nascent iodine to support my thyroid. If a

significant need arises for T3, I will go non-compounded just for piece of

mind.) Hopefully, no one else will have such an experience with their compounded

meds.

Best wishes…

your body would be making too much of the inactive form...again, pointing to a

conversion issue...I hope you find someone to help you through this.  I was

almost immobilized by lack of T3, until an alternative physician looked beyond

the standard tests and prescribed compounded T3 for me.  I wish you good

health.

> PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL OF COMPOUNDED T3. MY PHARMACY FAILED TO MIX MY

PRESCRIPTION THOROUGHTLY AND I WAS BADLY POISIONED. ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL

AFTER TAKING ONLY 6 CAPSULES OVER A TWO WEEK PERIOD. WAS SO SICK, I WASN'T WELL

ENOUGH TO TAKE MY PRESCRIBED DOSE (THANK GOODNESS …OR IT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE

KILLED ME). I DIDN'T MAKE THE CONNECTION THAT IT WAS THE T3 THAT WAS MAKING ME

SO SICK. THE OVERDOSE DID SERIOUS DAMAGE. THE EXPERIENCE WAS A NIGHTMARE. BE

CAREFUL……I WILL NEVER TAKE COMPOUNDED T3 AGAIN. JUST BE AWARE ....
