Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Dr. Lowe has always been a pioneering doctor in the treatment of problems such as high antibodies. He gives the example of a patient who's anti-microsomal (peroxidase) antibodies were 673. When she was put on T4 by her family doctor, the treatment was ineffective. When she began taking 2 grains of Armour and 50 mcg. of Cytomel, her antibody level plunged to 70. When her Cytomel dose was 75 mcg., her symptoms began to distinctly improve. http://www.drlowe.com/QandA/askdrlowe/antibody.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 I'm going to see if I can also prove that point, Janie, since my antibodies were 1,965 and then the other one over 1,000 back in March. I'm going to try to get tested for those again soon, hoping that my thyroid treatment will also be optimal by then. It's an experiement. I know that there are many variables there also, like optimal nutrition, etc.......but we'll see. I think that I can even tell at this point, from week to week and month to month, when they are flaring, because that's when my throat is getting uncomfortable, even though, according to the " experts " , my thyroid is supposed to be shrunk and fibrotic at this point. Think I'm going to prove them wrong and Dr. Lowe right.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 I'm now on 120 mgs and holding, with a completely suppressed TSH, Free T4 in the upper range, with the Free T3 up over the top of normal. That was 3 months ago, and I had been on that dose for around 4 to 6 wks or so. With those high antibodies though, the tests could have been scewed, particularly because I could simply have T3 hanging around outside the cells, not getting in. I tried to go up, but was having too fast a pulse rate, pressure in my chest, giddiness, nervousness, and I felt like stepping into a freezer all the time.
