Re: Is there any other way to lower your Reverse T3 levels without taking T3?

[Guest guest]

Hi Jim and Nick

I also have been wondering about this prospect. I was hoping that there may be

a natural substance or supplement that could have the effect of clearing the RT3

and assisting the ultimate conversion of T4 to T3. Even if it takes a little

longer. This might be suitable for those amongst us who at this stage are not

taking any form of Thyroid meds. Does anyone know of any past successes this

way?

Nothing that is reliable, There is ntohign MORE NATURAL than T3. It si a

bioidentical hormone, so why do you consider it not natural?

I am confused. Is Cytomel a bioidentical hormone. I thought that was synthetic.

Cytomel, aka liothyronine, though synthesized in a lab, is biochemically identical to the t3 produced in the body, therefore, it is considered a bioidentical hormone.

Yes, I think you are confusing " natural " , like Armour from pigs, with

" bio-identical " which is idencial to what our bodies make regardless of whether

it's made in a lab or whatever. Armour is NOT bio-identical, although some

people think it is because it's " natural. " The two concepts are not the same.
