Mixture of synthetic and natural thyroid hormones

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I hope someone can help me. I have just read What Your Doctor May 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.

He says that Armour alone contains a proportion that is too high: 80% T4 to

20% T3.

Has anybody tried a mixture of synthetics and natural thyroid 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.

Thank you so much,

H
