New here with random question

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone

I have been watching this group for a couple of weeks now as I suspected I had

rt3 Dominance. I got my test results last week that confirmed my suspicions, so

I am about to start the protocol tomorrow, exciting!

My random question is this...I have not ever had a problem with low ferritin

until I started on Whole thyroid Extract and my rt3 Dominance got worse. So, Im

wondering if having high rt3 can cause low ferritin even if you are

supplementing? And, in turn, would this mean that clearing the rt3 will help

raise low ferritin? I only ask because Im not sure if Im going to be able to get

my ferritin up high enough with oral supplementing alone, and Im not sure where

in New Zealand (where I live) I can access iron IV's. So my hope is that as I

begin clearing the rt3 my ferritin might start to go up. Or is this just wishful

thinking? I will continue to supplement and if I feel that the low iron is still

causing me issues Im happy to double my oral dose.

also, I have never had low Vitamin D until I started the Whole Thyroid extract,

so Im wondering if high rt3 causes problems with vitamin D as well. a bit of a

" chiken or egg, what came first " scenario! So now I have added vitamin to my

regime.

Just to put my situation into perspective, my rt3 results as of 24 May 2010

were:

rt3: 495 Range (230 - 540 pmol/L)

So! I didnt even need to work out the ratio's to know I have a problem!

Thanks everyone for all your pioneering work in this area. Your thought's/

questions/ experiences are invaluable!
