Re: I'm quitting Armour and why.

[Guest guest]

Una,

I also am so sorry you've been so frustrated. But am I not correct in

remembering that you started taking the Armour just recently? Were

you taking a T4 before that? Have you had lab tests? I myself have

been impatient, wanting to feel results in as short a time as

possible. But have you given this a really fair try? If you really

need supplementation, I am concerned that you're simply quitting

taking it entirely...

No it's not the Armour " doing this " . Sounds like you have got to have

cortisol (cortef). Iso cort eill be too lite but may help some.

Hi Una,

Before you give up, here's one last point to consider -'s

protocol. Have you tried this, do you know what it is? As you may,

or may not know, Armour and all other T4 drugs will make you worse if

conversion is your problem. If you are hypo, and T4 drugs make you

worse especially at increasing doses, you need to give this protocol

a try.

Actually Armour is not a T4 only drug. Armour contains T4, T3, T2, T1, T0,

T7, calcitonen. Most people take Armour to get T3.

I personally don't believe in 's protocol. In order to get T3 and

other hormones into tissues, cortisol is needed. Most docs simply ignore

adrenals. When someone feels worse or sees no improvement at all on thyroid

meds, they need adrenal help. When adrenals are barely functioning, the

addition of T3 will reveal this.

It is a good idea - although if she has adrenal problems, that will be

the worst of all possible protocols.

But bottomline: don't give up. Worse case scenario they have a thyroid

hormone intolerance group here in .
