Re: Toxic Metals and RT3 / chelation caution

[Guest guest]

haley,

When I was researching/googling high RT3 a while back, quite a few threads

showed up from Low Carbers, Muscle Builder, and various Diet forums where people

posted that they noticed after going " low carb " their RT3 levels shot way up. So

your dieting, if it was particularly low carb, may have had a bigger influence

on the RT3 than you think.

Hi Kate,

Thanks for the reply! Well, I sure am hoping that my RT3 is caused mostly by my

yo-yo dieting for the last 5 years! That would be great! Each time I diet (low

carb!), I lose around 25 pounds, then gain it back within a few months when I go

back to eating slightly more (i.e an extra 500 calories a day or so of carbs). I

have done this around 6 times in the last 5 years, until eventually last year,

no matter what I did, the weight just wouldn't budge!

But the thing is, I haven't been dieting for over a year now, and my RT3 is

still high...higher actually! I know RT3 promotes itself, so maybe that's what's

happened. I should be getting my new thyroid labs tomorrow, so I'm interested to

see whats going on now that my temps have been stable for a few weeks now!!
