TSH gook (was: Re: Low Iron and Hypothyroidism)

[Guest guest]

A TSH under 0.5 does NOT indicate hypErthyroidism, it indicates there

is a small amount of a pituitary hormone in the blood which may

indicate that there may be almost enough thyroid hormones circulating

in the body. And hypErthyroidism doesn't " always " cause osteoporosis.

You seriously said " taking any thyroid hormone replacement can also

put you into a state of hyperthyroidism " . " ANY " thyroid replacement,

eh? Punkin, you gotta start watching your words. A severely

hypOthyroid individual taking an insignificant amount of any thyroid

replacement is not going to become hyperthyroid...may I introduce you

to the thousands of people that come onto these thyroid boards who

are suffereing dreadfully on weeny amounts of thyroid replacement?

Pay more attention to the FREE T3 and FREE T4 done via saliva testing

if you want to know the real deal. Listen to the people taking

Armour, read their stories and learn the " real life " truth about

treating thyroid issues...learn what made them healthy and how they

got that way. This ranting about TSH is pretty silly in the grand

scheme of things and the sooner you learn the sooner you'll

understand what a few of us, including me, are saying.

a low TSH indicates a hyperthyroid condition in your body and

hyperthyroidism causes osteo.

> per ted friedman and prudence hall who are MD's who use armour and

other natural thyroid hormones in their practices: " taking T3

disrupts the way your body naturally controls and regulates TSH

levels. And if you take T3, you will drop your TSH to low levels

<0.5 and you will experience low T4 levels and when you have low T4

levels you will get low TSH levels. In addition, taking too much T3

can stress your heart, Taking any thyroid hormone replacement can

also put you into a state of hyperthyroidism which can cause heart

problems and osteoporosis " .
