Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Your ratio is bad too it is 13.26 This means that your T3 you do have is not able to get ot the cells and work for you. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Val, He told me my T4 was also low and that when I get that up my T3 will go up. He was very aware of adrenal insufficiency and the relationship to thyroid and was even concerned whether I was on enough. I'm going to do this for a couple of weeks and if it's not working, I get the sense he's workable and might do more T3 than T4. Re: Reverse T3 OK convert to same denimination by changing T3 to 284 deivide that by the RT3 which is 27 and your ratio is 10.51 It needs ot be at least 20. T4 will not be good for you to take and as I have seen in the past he knows NOTHING abotu RT3. Or Cortiosl. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
