I bet you're often described as 'obnoxious' by people in your personal life
I can`t say I agree with you on everything with this one Nelson.
May I point out that T4 is generally more supressive than T3.
T3 basically works, you take it you speed up the metabolism, but T4 well look at this for example.
Dr. Lowe: Keep in mind that T4 alone is the least effective thyroid hormone preparation, and 50 mcg is an extremely small amount. I seriously doubt that 50 mcg is benefiting you in any way. It may, however, be harming you.
T4 is highly effective at one thing: suppressing TSH secretion by the pituitary gland. T4 can suppress pituitary TSH secretion while leaving the metabolism of other tissues so slow that the patient continues to suffer from hypothyroid symptoms. Consequently, the doctor concludes (from the lowered TSH) that the patient is well; in the mean time, the patient suffers from continuing hypothyroid symptoms. Even worse, if the T4 dose is too low, the patient’s symptoms may actually worsen.
It's possible that the paltry amount of T4 you’re taking, by lowering your TSH level, has reduced your thyroid gland’s release of T4 and T3. The T4 you're taking may be far too little to compensate for your thyroid gland’s reduced thyroid hormone output. As a result, the small dose of T4 you’re taking may actually be worsening some harmful effects of your hypothyroidism. The Physician’s Desk Reference contains an important statement largely ignored by conventional doctors: "Inadequate doses of Synthroid [and by extension, any other brand of T4] may produce or fail to resolved symptoms of hypothyroidism."[1,p.1500] (Italics mine.) Doctors currently restricting their hypothyroid patients to small doses of T4 would do well by their patients to read and seriously consider the implications of this quote.
Also Nelson, thyroid gland is ok? Thats just a form of thyroid though isn`t it?

"They will kill us all in the name of their God!"
The conservative right will kill us all in the name of their God. Please everyone vote! It is our government and our laws! AAS are controlled because we want them to be controlled. (I know, this will probably generate some "not me!" responses...) Well, if you are old enough to vote then use your right to vote to influence change! OKay, let me step off of my soapbox.
Great read and post on this one Nelson and contributors. I am going to place an other from PF soon.
Transporter - did you mean BAC instead of BOC? Just wondering if I am missing out on a good supp source.
Thanks again!
