Re: Hemochromatosis and iron avidity

[Guest guest]

I do not have experience dealing with Hemochromatosis folks, what I've typed in

below is general info. I do not know if your having Hemochromatosis and iron

avidity will affect these guidelines or not, this is something you need to

determine, hopefully with your doctor.

If it is Natural Thyroid you are on, starting at 75mcg T3 from 8 grains NT is

correct according to Moderator Nick's web page.

I believe Moderator Val doses 4 times a day, Moderator Nick 5 times a day.

Which way works better does vary from person to person.

Have you made sure your adrenals are in good shape? So important for good

T3-only progress. Here's the link to Nick's adrenals page.

actually I am at about 3 months apart now. I still have low feritin but my

saturation has climed due to iron avidity, about 35%. So my doctor wants me to

start on t3. to clear high reverse t3. I was on 8 grains, so would I start at

75mcg spread out 4 times a day?
