Thyroid uses cortisol and cortisol uses thyroid. Takeig HC irregularly

will cause you mreo harm than good. Get on a regular dosing schedule and

it will help you best.,

Thanks Val,

Just needed to hear that One more quick question, as I recall

Armour increases Testosterone and DHEA also, have you found that to be

true in your many emails on the forums?

Take Care,

Armour helps BALANCE other hormones but I have not particularly heard

that it raises T or DHEA. Mine are both on the low side, or were back

when I was taking Armoru so I am not sure I believe that.

I read somewhere on Dr. Lowe's site (www.drlowe.com) that when one

increases thyroid meds, the overall increase in metabolic rate will

also increase the rate of cortisol's metabolism in the body, thus

using up what you've got faster (licorice root does the opposite).

So, someone with sluggish adrenals will immediately feel a greater

deficit of cortisol as they increase Armour or T3, unless they add or

increase exogenous cortisol.

I wish one knew exactly how much cortisol to increase once they increase thyroid

meds. It

makes it difficult to know what and when to increase.

If oyu are on ENOUGH HC before rasing the Armrou you should not have to increase

HC when you raise your Armour.

Sammie, I agree it's very hard to know what and when to increase. Val

always says to do the temp graphing per Dr. Rind to see IF you need to

increase. As for how much, it's probably always best to try lowest dose

increase as possible, say 2.5 mg and see if symptoms and temp graph

improve. If they don't, you can always add more until the temp graph

and your symptoms improve.

Well, that explains it. I obviously wasn't on anywhere near enough when

I started thyroid meds.
