weaning of Armour to start T3 therapy

[Guest guest]

Hi Val ~

My last labs were (after 1 week on 3 grains Armour):

TSH: <.1 (.34-5.6)

FT4: 0.88 (.61 - 1.12)

FT3: 4.00 (2.3-4.2)

rT3: 276 (90-350)

T3/rT3 ratio: 15

I'm switching over to the T3 therapy on my own without the help of a physician, although I may be able to get some advice from my holistic chiropractor who is very thyroid knowledgeable. I've just spent the day reading 's e-book and e-manual. I'm currently on 3 grains of Armour, which I've held for 4 weeks. I expect my T3 to arrive sometime early next week. According to , I need to wean off T4 for 10 days.... is this wise, or should I be ramping up on T3 at the same time I ramp down the Armour?

thanks,

~
