End it! L-Thyroxin & T-3

[joey10j]

Here’s the deal, I can only get L-Thyroxin BP Tablets 100mcg (T4), I’ve read people post that you can get the same results using T4 as you would using T3, but all you have to do is increase the dosage T4.

*Although, now DrJMW is saying that: “The only thing that T4 will do is shut down the thyroid gland altogether and NO T3 will be produced. Bottom line: DO NOT USE T4 IF YOU VALUE YOUR THYROID.”

I have unlimited access to T4 at dirt cheap about $5 for 100 tabs (100mcg) from a pharmacy, UK Generic. How has anyone cycled T4 and what do you think of it?
**The plan is to use T4 with Prop, deca, primo, clen, fina, winny**

Here’s the thread I found where DrJMW wrote this: http://boards.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=50239

Caloric restriction inhibits the conversion of T4 to T3. In experiments with starving animals and fasting humans adding T4 does not increase the conversion. If you plan on a harsh dieting regimen T4 will probably not work. If you want to simply burn more fat while maintaing adequate caloric intake, Synthroid will work fine.

Synthroid will not hurt your thyroid. Here is part of a post from a recent thread here at Elite:

There have been studies of people who were misdiagnosed as being hypothyroid and put on thyroid hormone replacement for as long as 30 years. When the medication was withdrawn, their thyroids returned to normal. (Greer,M. N Engl J Med 244:385, 1951)

Here is a remark about Greer's classic paper from a later author:

"In 1951, Greer reported the pattern of recovery of thyroid function after stopping suppressive treatment with thyroid hormone in euthyroid [normal] subjects based on sequential measurements of their thyroidal uptake of radioiodine. He observed that after withdrawal of exogenous thyroid therapy, thyroid function, in terms of radioiodine uptake, returned to normal in most subjects within two weeks. He further observed that thyroid function returned as rapidly in those subjects whose glands had been depressed by several years of thyroid medication as it did in those whose gland had been depressed for only a few days" (1)

These results have been subsequently verified in several studies. Basically you could stay on it indefinitely. After 30 years or 30 days of suppression, contrary to what one would think, the thyroid recovers in the same amount of time. You can induce mild hyperthyroidism for weight loss purposes for weeks or months with T3, T4, or powdered thyroid with no harm. I would go to a medical library and read the entire papers for myself. Here are a couple more that show the same thing:

J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1975 Jul;41(1):70-80
Patterns off recovery of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis in patients taken of chronic thyroid therapy.
Krugman LG, Hershman JM, Chopra IJ, Levine GA, Pekary E, Geffner DL, Chua Teco GN.

The significance of partial suppressibility of serum thyroxine by triidothyronine administration in euthyroid man.

Recovery of pituitary thyrotropic function after withdrawal of prolonged thyroid-suppression therapy.
