Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 interestingly while reading the ERFA site, I read that only 41% of T4 is ab sorbed when given in a gelatin capsule whereas 74% is absorbed when given with an albumin carrier. The compounded is in a capsule...Could that be why I feel hypo now? I think it is highly probable....

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hi, All! I just edited the Texas Armour Docs list and revised my comments on Dr. Berg. If you are already on Armour or other dessicated thyroid, he will write your Rx, but do not come to him for a diagnosis or to be switched from $ynthroid to natural. Also, he will run Free T3 and Free T4 if you ask for them, but may run the Totals if you do not specifically ask for the Frees. He is still a good doctor for some of us, but not for others. Oink well and prosper! jan nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
