Re: Can I up my T3 dose now? (Was: Iron poisoning?)

[Guest guest]

Yeah. That's why I'm gonna fix my tonsils soon!Gonna try 10 mcg T3 nå as my first morning dose. Do you recon it would be safe to try? :)T.

>Hmmmm..... So how can we explain this rise in temps? More T3 in my cells = higher temp, with the fever from tonsils leading the way? This is difficult.

Yep, this is what Val meant by the problems in not being able to trust

temperature

Yes, it will be safe.

Personally I would have done a 6th dose but it is safe to do it that

way

Yeah a 6th dose would make it smoother, but I can't add a 7th, an 8th, a 9th dose etc. It will be too many doses! This way, I will keep 5 doses, but add to each of them. Hope I got enough HC to do it this way! And Ferritin for that matter. Ferritin won't drop so fast. It was 64 a few days ago. Hoping infection didn't make that value falsely high.

I agree. I am on 6 though and it's very practical. The " count the

tablets out in the morning " principal works well.

Rough timings

I had a 150 mile drive the other evening starting at 9pm and on that

evening took the 11pm dose at 9pm and it worked well, I still slept ok

and it kept me going while driving until midnight.

How many mcgs in each dose, Nick?Do you often change the timings for the doses like that to get an extra kick when you need it? I remember taking 50 mcg T4 and 20 mcg T3 every time I woke up, and before going to bed, earlier, worked fine. I always slept AMAZINGLY great on that. Until my adrenals said ENOUGH! :pWhen you think of it, taking T3-only is risky. What if you forget one dose, or.. Loose one dose down the sever or something, with no backup. T4 is the backup. But T4 is not existent in T3-only patients. :pAs for receptors. I read yesterday in some link provided on this group that the heart has T4 receptors. Doesn't that mean the heart is better off with T4 in addition to T3? What about the T0, T1, T2 and calcitonin we're not getting whiel on T3-only?

T4 is a storage hormone ONLY. Once oyu have sufficient T3 in the blood

it works as it;s OWN back up. aND until it si high enough to supress T4

you stil haev T4 as a back up IF oyur body CAN deiodinate it into T3

otherwise T4 does NOTHING. Guess my heart should be stopping any day now

and what abotu Dr Lowe who has been on 150mcg T3 ONLY for 27 years? T4

does NOT turm on ANYTHING T3 is the cell activator. Your heart needs T3

not T4. When I had congestive heart failure I was on 500mcg T4. And I

almost died from LOW T3.

Oh and it has NOT been found thta calcitonin works the same in humans as

it does in animals ot resorb calcium into the bones. Truth is they do

not knwo what it does, btu it doesnlt matter anyway as calcitonin is

made in other parts of the biody and not just the thyroid otherwise all

the people wiht no thyroid on T4 onyl would not have any bones. T2 T1

adn T0 are all deiodinated from T3.

No, but then I don't often set out on a 3 hour drive at 9pm

T4 is only backup if you are converting properly.

I can miss a dose and only notice it a few hours later. I have enough

reserves in my body that I am not flagging as soon as it is past dose

time.

>As for receptors. I read yesterday in some link provided on this group that the

T3 only works well, I feel better on it than I have in 35 years or

more.

>What about the T0, T1, T2 and calcitonin we're not getting whiel on T3-only?

The lower Ts are metabolised from T3.
