Armour is the " natural form " of Cytomel and Synthroid...it is a combo med...I

take the seperate synthetics cause I was started on Synthroid and preferred

to stick with what med was working and add rather than switch...

and my dosage ratio of Synthroid to Cytomel is 2:1 (50 mcg Synth, 25 mcg

Cyto)..this ratio is higher than what Armour has...so Armour yes is better

than Synthroid alone...but I need a different dosaging than Armour allows

I have a suggestion. Fire your doctor and get one that acknowledges that

you are the boss and he or she is your employee.

Joy,

I have been told the same from my physician -- that each Armour pill can be

different as far as the amount of hormone each pill contains and therefore

it can cause a person to get an inconsistent dose (unlike synthetic

thyroxine). " I " also didn't feel well on Synthroid alone but feel better

on a T4 & T3 combination (like Synthroid and Cytomel).

My last blood test still showed a high TSH so my physician switched me to

Synthroid and Thyrolar -- I am feeling good on this medication as well

because it consists of both hormones. As long as my treatment includes the

T3 & T4 hormones, I seem to feel better than I do on T4 (Synthroid) alone.

I would suggest you read Dr. Arems book " The Thyroid Solution " -- it is

very informative and has helped me understand hypothyroidism and my symptoms.

I just read in 's book that the two doctors she highly recommends as " good "

specialists for thyroid diseases do NOT suggest using natural thyroid

replacement because it has far too much T3. Apparently, it has about 20% T3,

yet only 2-5% is what they have mose success with (saying their patients have

felt the very best with this combination). They both much prefer (and

prescribe) sythetic along with a second med of small doses of T3, so they can

control the amout of T3 per patient's needs. Some may need only 2% while others

may need 10% to feel their best, and a pill that already has the T3 built in

doesn't give that flexibility. In fact, they stated that getting too much T3

can actually do more harm than good.

I'm not pushing synthetic brands for any companies, I just switched from

Synthroid to Armour, myself. But in just reading this, I'm wondering if I did

the right thing. Perhaps I should have just asked for a T3 added. I will do

more research before switching to anything again.

I don't have any articles, but I do know that, in general, the medical

profession doesn't prefer to use Armour, but I think all of us are stumped

as to why.

It provides T4 and T3 and most people who have a choice feel better on

Armour than on synthetic thryroid which Synthroid is.

Many doctors say that it is obsolete, but I suspect that's a drug company

push as much as anything.

Armour is manufactured by Forrest Pharmaceuticals and is still manufactured

by the old 'grain' method which may not coincide with the more common 'mg.'

type way that most drugs are manufactured.

However, as someone who has been a health food nut much of my life and still

has a failed thyroid, Armour has made my life a great deal more pleasant. I

was accidentally given a snythetic substitute on a few occasions by a less

than scrupulous pharmacy, and I felt AWFUL on it.

Best,

Dear Zosia:

Juggling synthetic drugs to simulate natural thyroid function is a very poor

way of addressing thyroid dysfunction.

If a person has a simple hypothyroid, it is not a medical problem that needs

juggling with drugs, it is simply a nutritional problem that needs precise

nutrients. Underactive thyroid requires iodine, zinc, B6, selenium,

manganese, magnesium, trace elements, other 'B' vitamins and 3 amino acids.

When a thyroid has these nutrients it will make all the T4 and T3 the body

requires in the exact ratios needed. These nutrients are supplied in

Thyrodine. You can access all the clinical data at www.thyrodine.com

Some people have queried why, if it is so simple, that " doctors " have not

heard about this.

Medically trained personnel are trained to use pharmaceuticals, drugs. This

is a multi-billion dollar industry.

When you are prescribed drugs to suppress symptoms...

1-there is a huge profit margin

2-you are required to take these drugs... " the rest of your life!!! "

Do you suppose that a " doctor " who gets reams of propaganda from

pharmaceutical companies, would ever have heard of a simple remedy that

corrects thyroid function easily, naturally, in a very short time,

relatively cheaply? Note I suggested that it " corrects " thyroid function. It

does not replace thyroid function, it normalizes it.

If you wish to know more about this, please access www.thyrodine.com

If there exists an auto-immune dysfunction, thyroiditis or hyperthyroid,

there is a specific protocol that addresses all these dysfunction, naturally

as well. same web site.

best wishes,

Earl

Lots of people have been given this information.

I'd love to know who published this little book. They wouldn't be receiving

any financing from the makers of Synthroid, would they?

If you want the real story from real thyroid patients, go to

http://www.thyroid.about.com and go to the patient forum. There's tons of

information there on Synthroid vs. Armour - and you'll find that most people

do better on Armour. Not all, but most.

I know that Armour is supposed to be better than Synthroid, but Armour still

comes from a pig and that kinda bothers me. Does the Armour work the same

as the synthyroid only it is not chemical? Does it trick the brain into

thinking the thyroid is working?

The difference between Armour and Synthroid is that Synthroid is synthetic

T4, which is only one of the thyroid hormones. Supposedly, your body will

be able to synthesize the other hormones from T4; but in practice, many

people can't do so. Armour, being dessicated natural thyroid, contains T4

AND all the other hormones.

Dear / :

Synthroid is a synthetic thyroid " look alike. " Its supposed to be somewhat

similar to your thyroid T4 but it can't be or they couldn't patent it.

Armour is simply ground up pig thyroid.

Underactive thyroid does not require " replacing "

It needs nutrients in which it is deficient.

When an underactive thyroid receives the nutrients it needs [iodine, zinc,

B6, selenium, mnaganese, magnesium, other 'B' vitamins, trace elements and

specific amino acids [which is what Thyrodine is] the thyroid will produce

all the T4 the body requires and it will convert as much T4 into T3 as is

needed.

When will we consider that the road to health is not through drugs but

through natural, physiological nutrients that the body requires to function

optimally??

See www.thyrodine.com for more details.

Dear Dawn:

I've answered that several times but heres the idea; Auto-immune

dysfunctions are the result of usually a viral infection of the thyroid

tissues, usually herpes or Epstein-Barr. This causes your immune system to

make antibodies against the infected tissues, gradually destroying them. By

eliminating the virus or whatver pathogen and restoring function with

Thyrodine, then you can restore full function....if you observe the other

parameters as well as indicated below.

Best wishes,

Earl

Thyrodine protocol:

This protocol is designed to eliminate all pathogenic microorganisms that

may be cause of auto-immune dysfunctions or thyroiditis or any of the

arthritis or ulcerative syndromes:

1-ImmunoGuard: [a natural antibiotic made from grapefruit seed extract,

colloidal silver, manuka oil,and strongly antibiotic herbs]. take 12 drops

in a full glass of water 4x a day on an empty stomach...for 8 days. Then

stop taking it. Use only for infections or inflammations.

2-Go to your health food store and get some Psyllium Hulls Complex [Natures

Sunshine] or I can have an excellent formula [intestinal Cleanse #2] sent to

you from Florida in just a a couple of days. Take 1 tablespoon in 1/2 glass

apple juice before bed and upon arising. Continue taking til gone.

3-You will then need a probiotic [intestinal bacteria] You may either get

Kyodophilus or Primadophilus from the health food store or I can have a very

powerful and better formula sent to you also from Florida. [Flora

Source...14 powerful bacteria for restoring gut function] or Lactobacillus-8

in New Zealand.

4-Then...Begin taking Thyrodine at 3 drops in juice or water 10 to 15

minutes before breakfast and before lunch....to fully retore thyroid

function.

When starting the Thyrodine you may wish to consider slowly weaning off any

synthetic drugs or hormones. Most folks simply lessen their dosage over 2 to

6 weeks as the Thyrodine is restoring normal thyroid function.

5-Many women exhibit an estrogen dominance, meaning excess estrogen and

inadequate progesterone.

This is the major cause of PMS, menopausal symptoms, breast and ovarian

cysts, uterine fibroids, endometriosis and eventually cancer.

Beginning with the ImmunoGuard Protocol, by adding Progespray-F, an oral

progesterone, this combination will effectively combat estrogen dominance,

if....

1-a reasonable nutritional program is followed [see our Biogenic nutritional

guide or access www.hacres.com ]

2-no drugs are being taken

3-there is no chlorine or fluoride in drinking water [needs a good water

filter]

4-there is no excess or leaking mercury from amalgam fillings

5-that unfermented soy products have been eliminated, like tofu, soy milk,

sot isolate

[fermented soy is OK, like tamari, miso, tempeh]

To complete the entire protocol, it would be wise to consider taking a

superior greens formula to insure getting all the crucial nutrients in an

organic or wildcrafted form.

The best greens formula, an exceptional greens powder made from the best

wild crafted and organic sources. It consists of spirulina, chlorella,

barley grass, alfalfa, wheat grass powders, kelp, beet root, spinach leaf,

rose hips, orange and lemon peels and a non active yeast.

Its called SuperFood and is one of the best all round supplements avaialble.

I take it daily. It costs US$32 for 14 oz. plus freight. [uS$40] They will

also send you a cotolog of some truly excellent natural products devised by

a naturopathic doctor, Dr. Schulze.

Please advise.

Hope this helps

Best wishes,

Earl

Val,

I checked that web site, www.internationalpharmacy.com, and found Armour Thyroid

in all different strengths, for approximately the same price as what I pay (here

in the USA), with the type of insurance that I have. But the difference is that

I can only buy the strength that my doctor has prescribed for me, (in this case

90 mg), and only for one month at a time. But maybe I'll be OK now that I also

have Isocort, (until someone tells me what Cortef is), for the adrenals, plus

the HGH I just received, but haven't tried yet. It's a spray.

, the HGH spray is not HGH, which needs to be injected like insulin.

If your pituitary gland cannot produce HGH then it won't help much.

Cortef is cortisol, adrenal hormone. In my case it made me feel wonderful

but I still couldn't tolerate enough thyroid until I got some other hormones

in high doses.

I can send you info on ordering Armour. Read Hormone Solutions by Thiery

Thanks for the info, I went to International after I had already ordered it from

anti-aging website and couldn't believe the price difference. I paid 39.95 for a

bottle of 60mg with 100 count. Then got an email talking about International

Pharmacy and seen for the same thing their cost was 28.01. Just died!!! I know

where I'll go next time now. I have a dr appt. on the 11th of this month, so I

ordered this just in case he says no to me about anything. I will send test

results for you all to see so that some one might suggest how much for me to

start out on. Only thing is I emailed them to find out how long it would take

for me to get the pills and they said about 28 days.... Good Lord I was hoping

to be on my way to a better life before 28 days... No what I mean? Oh well at

least it's on its way.

Thanks

Gracia, Yes, I figured Cortef was cortisol-related, with a name like that. So I

found info on Google, (Pfizer), and now I wonder if this is a prescription only

med, and if it is " better " than taking Isocort, which is a herb thing. Since I

already have the Isocort, I'll take it, for the time being. If Cortef is over

the counter, please tell me where you get it. Thanks.

And yes, I have read Dr. Hertoghe's book. I've read so much about hypothyroidism

--- Yes. Gracia is right, all those HGH scams are just that. If you

need HGH because of a deficiency, your endocrinologist will

determine the amount and it will be injected daily....it is not

something that you can inhale.

The only way to know you have low GH is by blodd tests. If that is

the case, your doctor should know it and prescribe it.

Do not fall for scams.

Well, actually it is not a spray to inhale, it is to spray sublingually, so it

gets absorbed into the blood stream. Of course it could still be a scam. They

gave me a 60 day guarantee, money back refund if I didn't notice any

improvement. We'll see.

Cortef is a brand name for cortisol or hydrocortisone one of the main

adrenal hormones. Synthetic variations are available such as prednisone

but they are stronger than cortisol and are not bio-identical. It is

considered safe to take a physiologic dose of cortisol to support

exhausted adrenals - this can range form 5mg to 20 mg taken in four

doses to even 40mg per day depending on the person or situation. I took

it continuously for 9 months and now I take it when I'm under stress. It

helps. Kerry

Re: Armour Thyroid

Val,

I checked that web site, www.internationalpharmacy.com, and found Armour

Thyroid in all different strengths, for approximately the same price as

what I pay (here in the USA), with the type of insurance that I have.

But the difference is that I can only buy the strength that my doctor

has prescribed for me, (in this case 90 mg), and only for one month at a

time. But maybe I'll be OK now that I also have Isocort, (until someone

tells me what Cortef is), for the adrenals, plus the HGH I just

received, but haven't tried yet. It's a spray.
