Re: Mixture of synthetic and natural thyroid hormones

[Guest guest]

I have taken abotu every combo known to man since being hypo for 33

years. Armoru is the ONLY one and Armoru plus extra T3 that worked for

me. My body doesn;t recognize T4 as a thyroid hormone unless it is from

Armoru so Bioidentical ort not there are MANY peole that do not utilize

synthetic T4 well. As for the rtatio.. BUNK. For over 100 years Armoru

was all they had and people got WELL on just that, and they would be

now if not for the poisions we now ingest tat every turn no matter how

clean your diet is that are destroying our HPA and adrenal function. Now

the enzymes are missing that we need to convert well and MOST

hypothyroid peole are poor converters of T4 to T3 an the micx in Armoru

is never too high in T3 or the body simply lowers conversion of T4 to

make up the difference. The doctors that think Armour's T3 is too high

have seen patients iht a hig blood level of T3 from LOW CORTISOL. and

did nto recognize it for what it was, tissues not getting the T3 they

need due to that low cortils and a build up in the blood of it that is

not working for the person at all.

Hi .

Like Val, I've tried about every combo out there as well. Right now

I'm on 100 mcg of synthroid & 1 grain Armour per day (both

sublingual). For me I think it's more about taking enough thyroid (I

don't have a thyroid) than it is about what I'm taking. I know I " m

not on enough, but am working on getting the adrenals optimized

first. But I don't ever plan to go back to straight T4. In fact,

I'll probably switch to all Armour.

I tried blanchards protocol bc my doc uses it .. felt like crap. The

armour part is compounded as slow release, and i felt better once i

switched to regular release. Overall gained 15lbs since starting the

protocol and feel no better than i did on nothing at all. That being

said, i also tried straight synthroid (felt like death) and straight

armour (felt like i was having a heart attack). I haven't yet found

the right combo.

Not Tell You about Hypothyroidism by Ken Blanchard. He seems to have

a very good argument for taking a physiologic dose of thyroid

hormone: 98% T4 and 2% T3 in order to replicate what the normal human

thyroid gland produces. He uses a mixture of Synthroid for the T4 and

Armour for the T3.

80% T4 to 20% T3.

hormones? Does anyone have an opinion of why it wouldn't be valid or

helpful? I'm trying to get pregnant, if that makes a difference.
