Why not increase the dosage? - Tina

August 18, 2005

Maybe you can clarify what part of his post you disagree with? Isn't it

well established that you can harm or shut down your thyroid [or your

adrenals too] by taking excess replacement hormones? Do you disagree

with that?

And exactly to what do you refer by the phrase " myths of natural

hormone production " ? Perhaps you disagree that natural harmone

production can be harmed [or destroyed] if we take too much synthetic

replacement?

Almost if not all medications are poisions if taken in the wrong

dosages; as are a great deal of other items [water, for example].

FWIW I've never seen Chuck make a statement that did not seem well

reasoned; and factually supported to the limits of my ability to

ascertain same. Admitedly, my limits are not too high! [ggg]
