Re: Questions about T3 only and 's

[Guest guest]

I would like to know the answer to your questions too as I am currently on the

T3 only because of RT3 dominance. The T4, as far as I know, is what is produced

in order to make T3, which is the active hormone. The Rt3, degrades into T2 and

then T1, so I do believe that we can do without the T4 if we have Rt3 dominance

that does not go away.

As all know, wilson use T3 only meds to clear the RT3, and after clearing it,

one can re-take the original thyroid hormones-natural thyroid or T4 or T4 +T3

again? If so,

I've always wonderer if the RT3 dominance problem would re-emerge if one re-took

the natural thyroid or T4 after clearing the RT3? If not, that is quite good for

solving the problem permanently. But if RT3 bounced back, one would suffer from

the instability of different meds and get into another vicious cycle again and

again during the treatement.

If one stayed at the T3 only meds continuously, I also wonder if one can survive

without proper T4 function. T4 and T3 are both key hormones in human being.

Thanks.

Hi Fragrance, You have hit on the flaw that I have always felt with Dr. 's work. If you can't convert T4 properly then you need T3. I've tried T3 alone for a while and as soon as I restarted Armour I still needed the extra T3 because additional Armour still caused stiff joints. so no permanent improvement in my tolerance to T4 occured. > thyroid treatment > From: fragrance_seen@...> Date: Sun, 10 Jan 2010 02:49:16 +0000> Subject: Questions about T3 only and 's> > As all know, wilson use T3 only meds to clear the RT3, and after clearing it, one can re-take the original thyroid hormones, natural thyroid or T4 or T4 +T3 again?

RT3 degrades into T2,T1? Sorry I don't get what you said, Roni.

Did you mean that RT3 will make T2,T1 eventually?

Hi Isobel, Like being on T4 only it's not optimal, but if that's all you can tolerate- I have heard of folk doing perfectly fine on T3 alone. I prefer to take as much Armour as I can cope with, then top up with T3- which in my case is rather a lot! I seem to feel more 'settled' that way- but we're all different and that's the problem that docs don't seem to recognise. thyroid treatment From: isobelmccoll@...Date: Sun, 10 Jan 2010 13:53:58 +0000Subject: Re: Questions about T3 only and 's
