Thank you Ann. Stan

Hi, StanIt's all on Nick's wonderful website, www.thyroid-rt3.comBut here's my shorthand version:Clear RT3 by taking only T3After ensuring that your ferritin/iron levels are high enough and your adrenal glands are sturdy or supportedYou can track your progress by using Dr. Rind's temperature chart:www.drrind.com/therapies/metabolic-temperature-graph

Dear Jo

Glad to hear that you established the cause of your conversion issues. You mention that you will start the protocol tomorrow, and since I'm fairly new to this group, I wonder if you can clarify what you mean by 'the protocol'.

Hi everyoneI 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!Jo
