I've suspected this as part of the picture for me, as I am a lyme patient. I'd

be very interested how you came to decide it was connected to RT3.

Dr. Holtorf does mention infections as a cause of RT3.

Borrelia, the main lyme bacteria, dislikes warmth. It has some truly amazing

capacities to shift the body environment and immune system, and many lyme

patients develop thyroid issues (that may resolve after lyme treatment. So my

thought is that it may trigger RT3 as a way to lower body temperature and

metabolism.

of the Lyme test 1.5 years ago. After calling about many things and no response

from him went to another doctor. Paperwork fell through the cracks.

I appreciate your theory about the temps. I am now educating myself about Lyme

and it is overwhelming in info. Also epidemic. I would

recommend people do a Western Blot test to see if they've been exposed. You

never know. Lyme attacks the adrenals and thyroid also causing foot pain, joint

aches, insomnia, depression and a myriad of other symptoms.

In hindsight we saw that the high RT3 was an indication of Lyme.

That is why I'm also recommending that Nick add this to the list of reasons why

one might have RT3. It might help others discover the source of their illness.

In the Burrascano protocol for Lyme treatment, he discusses how Lyme attacks the

HPA axis and the need to test for Free t3, free t4 and RT3.

recommending T3 therapy and adrenal help (and other hormones) Noting that Lyme

patients won't feel better until they do this. He also notes that it's hard to

find doctors to acknowledge this.(How smart is that?!)

I know this forum is for RT3 and don't want to dominate the discussion with Lyme

but I do think it's an important factor.

I used to call Val every week trying to work on this, looking at iron, cortisol,

whatever to find the cause of the RT3 and am grateful to now know.

Best wishes

Yes, thanks so much! I haven't read Dr. Burrascano for awhile and when I did, I

knew nothing about RT3. I'm definitely going to go re-read that and note any

pertinent info.

I just searched the last two versions of Dr. Burrascano's guidelines, and he

does not mention RT3 or the need to test it. He does mention the inflammatory

cascade process in lyme that can block hormone receptors.

You are right. I could not find him mention RT3 I must have extrapolated the

info.

I am new to this research in Lyme and overwhelmed by it :

Burranscano <<<<The long term solution involves restoring proper hormone levels

and treating the Lyme

to address this and the autonomic dysfunction. >>>>

..<<< In addition to measuring free T3 and T4 levels,

check basal A.M. body temperatures. If hypothyroidism is found, you may need to

treat with both T3 and T4

preparations until blood levels of both are normalized. To ensure sustained

levels, when T3 is prescribed, have it

compounded in a time-release form.>>>

Dr. Klinghardt does specifically mention Rt3 << " When giving Lyme patients T4,

this generally increases rT3 which defeats the purpose. It is better to give

SRT3 (sustained release T3) and not T4 in most cases. " >>
