Re: Clearance? / attempting to switch back to NT

Here's Moderator Nick's web page on switching back to NT:

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

And here's a post on the subject:

I've read posts from those who have switched successfully back to Natural

Thyroid from T3-only. But there are a lot MORE posts from people who have tried,

only to see their RT3 climb again.

It depends on what is causing the RT3 in the first place. If it was low iron,

and that has been corrected, than the switch back to NT would go smoothly. But

it usually isn't as simple as that; not all causes for RT3 are known, some

people may have multiple causes, and those causes that are known can not all be

corrected.
