Question on Clearing RT3

[Guest guest]

I would like to know when people here are talking about clearing RT3 what

exactly is defined as clearing, is this a certain acceptable level within the

test range, or if you are just under the higher side, is that still defined as

clearing, surely the body MUST have some RT3,

isn't it there for protection of the body against certain things, like

starvation etc:

Just curious to know what figure to aim for.

Thanks

Hi Sandy:

Labs are useful, but clearance isn't based on a lab number. Moderator Nick's

excellent website says:

" The main symptom of RT3 issues is that of hypothyroidism that won't respond to

treatment "

from

http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/whatare.htm

So clearance is when we've managed to clear the receptors of the RT3 that was

blocking them, so our hypothyroidism WILL RESPOND to treatment.

Moderator Val has said that RT3 can not be too low. Yes, it was there

originally as protection against starvation, but generally in modern times it is

just not needed.
