Re: How do you dose for r73?

[Guest guest]

Betty, I'm sorry if my earlier answer was unclear. Are you on Cytomel ONLY? Or

also another thyroid med? If you are on Cytomel ONLY, you are already on what

you need to treat an RT3 problem.

RT3 is made from T4; without T4, the body cannot produce RT3. So to treat the

RT3 problem, we stop taking any medication containing T4 (Synthroid or Natural

Thyroid) and take T3-only meds. It usually takes about 12 weeks of T3-only meds

to resolve an RT3 problem.

Sadly, many doctors don't get this. They are taught that RT3 is inactive. It

is not. It blocks the receptors so that T3 can not be properly utilized. Dr.

Holtorf calls this " tissue hypothyroidism " , where we have enough thyroid in our

bodies but it can't get utilized properly.
