Guest guest Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 I wanted to comment here about T3. doctor's like to make patients think it is something dangerous like dinamite. The fact is there are many thyroid patients in the US who are on nothing but T3 alone for replacement. I was on all T3 replacement for 7 months. The healthy thryoid makes 10-12% T3 and it's not foreign to our bodies at all. Some people do better on all T3. I had no problems with all T3 except that the lack of T4 was more work for my adrenals, which I won't go into why this is. It was compounded for me in a slow release formula that I took twice a day. I was taking 90 mcg of T3 a day. I did not get any terrible reactions at all. I just think doctors are so unrealistic about the dangers of T3 that they learn via the Synthroid manufacturer's sales propaganda.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 I've got this great story about T3. I know this Texas State Judge, a woman, who is in her early '60s, very whip-smart. We were talking on the phone a few weeks ago, and she was telling me that she was switched to another internist who was a young guy that kept trying to put her on Synthroid. She would try to take it, and would get very, very sick. She has been taking Cytomel only since her 20s and has done just fine on that. She finally told him, " Look, junior, stop experimenting on me and just give me the Cytomel. I'm not your guinea pig. " Courtenay.
