Re: Re: HC/armour dosing schedule?/palma

[Guest guest]

I would never do this with HC--it doesn't make sense. I would go with 5mg at

breakfast/lunch/dinner and bedtime. which I do.

Gracia

6:30 am 2 grains armour (under tongue) and 10 HC

10:30 HC 5

12:30 2 grains armour (under tongue)

2:30 HC 2.5

4:30 .5 grains armour (under tongue) (just added this week)

bedtime 2.5 Hc

renee

this is the schedule for HC, i do not much about isocort, i think it

is not as strong as HC.
