Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 > The doctors nurse just called to tell me that Dick definitely needs thyroid support (no shit!!), DOUBLE NO SHIT!! And to take him off like that when he is already sick........ludicrious. Hang tough, Sue. There is NOTHING unregulated about Armour. It is stringantly regulated by the US Pharmacopia and approved by the FDA. It provides the EXACT same hormones that his own thyroid would be producing. He will not be poisoned if he is put on Unithroid and Cytomel. It will help. But it is synthetic, and it does not supply the T2, T1, and calcitonin. Sorry, but Armour is superior.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 > > just tell the doc you must have Armour for all the Ts---whatever his > reasoning is, it will be fallacious. I think Dick needs a Broda doc. > http://www.brodabarnes.org > Gracia Hey, I couldn't find the section to look for a doc. I found it once before, somehow..but can't seem to now.
