BTW that 8.71 is NOT good you need a ratio of 20 or higher for good health.

ok, where'd I go wrong? Sometimes I go dyslexic with numbers, but this time I

kept coming up with the same answer? Or is it a total unit conversion as

opposed to the indiviual parts, or some magic juju? And what ideal goal are we

after? thanks, oh fast one with the calculator... j

Val, or anyone who understands this calculation, How did you get this number

(below)? When I do the math conversions to make the two units the same, my

number is 1000x smaller than this listed below. Is there some magic conversion

number that is multiplied after the conversion and division? Where, can I learn

more about this ratio, please? Thanks

Never Give Up! j

If you look through the Files section on this group you will find a file that

explains how to calculate the ratio. The name of the file is " Examples of How to

Calculate RT3 Ratio.doc "

You can find it here:

Hey there,

Thanks for the link. That sheet got me started on this road. My units were not

fully represented on the page (if my eyes didn't cross or blink), so I needed to

figure out how to calculate the number, myself.

My question is about the formula for calculating the ratio. If I use simple

math techniques and convert units, I don't get the same answer. So, I am

thinking there is more to the ratio than simply dividing the two numbers (once

having the same units).

So, I guess I am looking for more in-depth information about the fT3/rT3 ratio.

Thanks, j
