Guest guest Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Hi. Yes, I am taking Iron (though I've been slacking the past few weeks). 22 is up from around 15 a few months ago. As for the Cytomel--what's the SIMPLEST regimen that would help clear out the RT3? > > > > So, my Rt3 ratio is 15, which I understand is too low so I need to lower my RT3 by using a T3 only regimen.
