RE: Stopping Armour

[Guest guest]

Thanks Val. As it turns out, my doc will

prescribe the SRT3 not using ’s,

so I’ll give that a try. I know some don’t do well on the SR stuff,

but I’ve heard from several who do so I’m hopeful.

in it the next no waiting involved.

Dana,

Could you pls let me know what your doctor's dosing recommendations are?

and if you are currently taking armour or straight T3 what dose you will

switch from?

I just got some SRT3, and when it comes time to try it, have no idea how

to correlate a switch from my current cynomel.

thanks,

sol

Oh please could both of you let me know if the time released works for you...my doc wants to give that to me, but since I heard bad things about it here, I said no...then she mentioned triostat..has anyone heard of it? Why are you 2 not taking the cytomel? sorry if you already said..leisa>> Thanks Val. As it turns out, my doc will prescribe the SRT3 not using > ¢s, so I¢ll give that a try.

Several in the frequent_dose_chelation group are taking SRT3 and only one said she wasn’t noticing any benefit (and I don’t think she was taking anywhere near enough) – probably four in favor to one against. Also a few there said they were on ’s – two loved it, one said they never “captured” their temps. I think one factor is the pharmacy. Not every one can compound an effective product. My doc likes Falls Pharmacy in Washington and Medusa Pharmacy in Alabama (and another one in WA but I didn’t get the name). I’m getting mine from Medusa. I’ll report my results when I have some (probably won’t get the product until next week).

Dana..let us know how much and when your taking timedrelease t3 okay. Im considering it too(cant take cytomel). I dont understand how to do the increses if they are time release. also they much more expensive?

Hi Sol-I'm currently on 2 grains Armour. My doc is not a fan of Cytomel and oftenrecommends 's protocol. However she does also use just straight SRT3. Hmmm -- you had to ask ;-) I don't remember for sure what she said as astarting dose -- seems to me it was to start with 15 mcg every 12 hours thenadd 7.5 mcg to each dose every 3 days. She said to get up to 37.5 twice perday, but I imagine that could be flexible depending on my response. I'mpretty sure that's what she said -- I have 100 each size on order (and herinstructions will be on the bottles). In addition, here's a comment on the subject from Val copied and pasted froma recent message to someone (message #7691):>>On the armour website it says that each grain equals 25 mcg of cytomel..sowouldnt that be like 62 of cytomel for the 2 1/2?<<[Val]YES BUT when you first stop the Armou in a day the T3

form it is GONE,the T4 is stil there. So if oyu replace it all at once oyu WILL go hyperhtyroid and also beat the crap out of your adrneals tryign to deal with it,which is why oyu need ot start with juts replacening the T3 in it thne asthe T4 levels dissipate, over the next 4-6 weeks, you replace it wiht moreT3. Your starting dose of T3 to replace 2.5 grains would be 22.5 soI woudlstart with 25mcg split in at least 2 doses,. then every week you build theT3 dose to replace the T4 conversion as tht aleaves your body.[]Dana-----Original Message-----From: RT3_T3 [mailto:RT3_T3 ] On Behalf OfsolCould you pls let me know what your

I found the instructions – I’ll

start with 15 mcg every 12 hours for 3 days then increase by 7.5 mcg each dose

until I reach 37.5 per dose. Presumable if my temps are still low I should be

able to increase a bit more (though I’ll have to ask the doc), and if my

temps should happen to get to normal before reaching 37.5, I guess I’d

stop increasing at that point. Should be interesting (and hopefully helpful). I

will report on my results.
