You guys:

I have just found out I was wrong about Armour thyroid! I want to

correct it in case anyone acted on it. I had a consultation with a new

doctor, the most notorious (for having courage) and best known

alternative physician in Missouri, who has a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and

many years experience as an M.D. He said that Armour was bought out and

finally that company was again bought out by another company. He said

that patients are beginning to state that the generic form of natural

thyroid works better than actual Armour. Mind you, these drugs have T3

AND T4, whereas synthroid is only T4. Many people do worse on

synthroid, but I hadn't realized that Armour is now in ill repute

compared with the generic forms of " Armour " . Walgreen's carries a

generic " Armour " by another company. There are other companies, the

doctor says, who make this generic.

I will put this on all the lists where I may have misinformed anyone.

Go in good health,

Beth
