Re: Janie - Addition of T4 or T3--oops, let's clairfy this-Part 2

[Guest guest]

Hi Debbie. I'm so glad you are doing well. Yes, it's personal

experiences here that have weighed in FAR more importantly than docs

who go by arbitrary lab ranges and poor meds like T4-only. OUR

personal experiences have shown that Armour is a FAR better treatment

than T4-only meds. And OUR personal experiences have shown that

ranges like the TSH are not telling the full story. It's just a shame

that docs are unable to listen to personal experiences!

Yes, there are great personal experiences here. And, like the

suggestion that someone with continuing symptoms try increasing the

Armour before they add T4 to their Armour, you just have to throw it

out, and let it be. )

I have a two-page handout that I created here in my store--I own an

antique store. I also have signs in the store that point out that

there can be a better treatment than Synthroid or other T4-only meds,

and if interested, just ask me. And when I hand them the 2-page

handout because they asked, I explain it briefly , then say

simply " Read it, and you can make your own judgement call. " I know

the truth about what I wrote, but everyone has to find out for

themselves in their own way. And that's great.

And p.s. I did have to laugh when I saw your Part 2. I've done that

before, too!! LOL.
