Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 , Let me see if I can paraphrase this so I know I completely understand your post: A person with high RT3 should take both armour and T3. This will help the body reduce the production of T4 thus eventually reducing the RT3 (thyroxine resistence). After the RT3 has been sufficiently lowered, a person could go back to taking just armour? OK. This makes sense for someone who makes T4 with their thyroid. I have no thyroid. So would the same principle apply? I would just be lowering my T4 to ???? what level until my RT3 is suppressed? BTW... Is this from Dr. 's book that you mentioned to me the other day called " Adrenal Fatigue?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Just finished Peatfield's book the other night and he said that T2 is arguably important too but that even he wasn't sure about it (as of the printing of the second edition of his book a few years ago anyway). < > The ONE thing in Armoru that you (and the rest of us too but you moreso) need is Calcitonin which is why when the RT3 problem is corrected I would suggest then going back on Armour and nbot staying on just T3. But even then you would need to take it sublingually to get th ebenefit of Calcitonin as it is destroyed by stomach acids. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 The way I think of it is if you need to take thyroid replacement then you are hypothyroid. It can be because your gland doesn't produce enough or because the thyroid was removed or killed with RAI or whatever. Cherie Experience: that most brutal of teachers.
