Re: Re: ??? about taking this med...

[Guest guest]

I have read somewhere... (God knows where but it was a reliable site) that

Synthroid (& all synthetic T4 meds) are bound with a sodium molecule, This must

have stomach acid to remove it to release the thyroid hormone. That is why I

said it needs to be swallowed. Levothyroxine SODIUM sound familiar?

>>you can take your synthroid sublingually, just like

your Armour - it's bioidentical <<

No I do not believe Synthroid is bioidentical. It is made with sodium and

thyroxine and must have the sodium removed before the thyroxine can be released.

This requires contact with stomach acids to remove the sodium molecule.

>>Dr. Dommisse, Dr.

Rind, etc all state unequivically that the synthetic hormones like

synthroid are bio-identical - I'm inclinded to believe them.<<

I would believe them too but thta is not what I have read on their site, can you
