Guest guest Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 ----I've been on T3 for about a year and felt pretty good. Current doctor (who accepts insurance) talked me into trying Armour-- feel like crap. Very tired, serious crash 2nd day off round. Can't seem to function. I'm working my way back up on the T3 again. Only side effects while working up was a jittery feeling, like too much caffeine. Also, sometimes a slight headache. It went away after a while. Who is your doctor in CA? I live in S. Cal and the T3 doctor I'm going back to is in Torrence but he doesn't take insurance. > ------- > I wanted to know if anyone else has had success/failure with > this tretament while chelating?? > > His (current dr) theory and it seems to be wilsons' as well, is that > > Thanks > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Thanks for the reply, how far along are you in the chelation? It would seem to make sense that higher body temps could help your cells throw off more toxins (my Dr's furnace analogy) his name is Dr Lipelt and is in N california, sebastopol. I don't think he takes insurance either.. My temps have been slowly coming up after about 8 days Its funny though as they will come up and then I figure I can level off the T3 and then poof back down into the 97.8 range I am 37.5 mcg's now and this is my first round or cycle as I beleive they are called...I believe there was a post here back a few days that said your body needs cortisol to help with the T3 getting into the cells Its funny as I think I am more regular with the T3...god forbid if something from a doctor should work Its pretty intersting story about this guy , The med profession tried to run him out of town in fact I think he lost his license for 6 months...not unlike Huggins and AI and everything else that works > ----I've been on T3 for about a year and felt pretty good.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 ---I've heard a lot of negative things about 's protocol and it certainly doesn't work for everyone. But like most protocols it will work for some. However, my opinion is that he does have a point with his theory and T3 but I think there are other reasons for standard thyroid meds not working properly and many reasons why plain T3 works for many people - especially those of us with heavy metal toxicity. I don't really believe in his protocol per say but I have found personally that I have some sort of T3 resistance and I have tried T4 and Armour thyroid but T3 is the only thing which has has any effect so far.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 > > > > Thanks for the reply, how far along are you in the chelation? ------ On my 5th round only. I noticed that I'm feeling worse on the Armour (probably due to such a low dose). I noticed I was warm all the time on T3 which is a great feeling after being cold for years, I was also healthier feeling on T3 but not 100 %... that's why I switched.------- > It would seem to make sense that higher body temps could help your > cells throw off more toxins (my Dr's furnace analogy) > > his name is Dr Lipelt and is in N california, sebastopol.

My free T3 was still in the low range, but reverse T3 went under 100 where it's supposed to be. I've started back on T3 and only up to about 50 now. Get headachy if go to fast. My dumb mistake switching to a cheaper Dr. --------- > > Its funny as I think I am more regular with the T3...god forbid if > something from a doctor should work > > Its pretty intersting story about this guy , The med profession > tried to run him out of town in fact I think he lost his license for > 6 months...not unlike Huggins and AI and everything else that works > > > > ---> > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 My T3 update well I seem to have captured my temp at 37.50 mcgs. I will see if it holds..has been 3 days I have been chelating for 5+ months and adrenals are slowly getting betetr i think. This is the only reason i decided to try the thyroid angle I think it has made me more regular. I wake up in night sweats which I haven't done for 4 years. Some brain dead-headness which the handout says might happen my fingers are crossed, Goodluck to you on this > > ------ On my 5th round only.
