Research Studies: Use of Ranges is Flawed, rT3 is Active, TSH should NOT Guide Treatment

Another Study on TSH Supports Circadian T3 Method (CT3M)

Another study which shows that the TSH pulses are optimised for more frequent and higher levels of TSH in the night. This means that we should get more FT3 during the night and in time for the pituitary gland and adrenal glands to begin to work. 

This study again supports the ideas behind the circadian T3 method (CT3M):

New Research Showing How Misleading TSH is

By Paul on Wed, 09/12/2015 - 12:42

This is undoubtedly one of the most important pieces of thyroid research done in the last ten years or so (perhaps 30 years).

It finally begins to be more clear that TSH is one of the least useful tools in assessing thyroid hormone levels and whether someone is actually getting enough T3 in the cells.

A 20-Year Research Study Dismisses Reasons Often Given for Not Prescribing T3

By Paul on Sat, 24/10/2015 - 11:10

Here is a 20-year observational piece of research.

It dismisses the incorrect views that T3 has adverse effects on the bones and heart! 

It confirms that T3 has no adverse effects on heart and bones. This disproves some of the major reasons that doctors use to avoid prescribing T3 - risk to the heart and to bone loss are the two most common reasons used to avoid prescribing T3 to patients, although many of us suspect that cost is the unsaid reason behind non-prescribing of T3.

More Support for the Circadian T3 Method (CT3M)

Here is more medical supporting evidence for why the Circadian T3 Method (CT3M) works for some people and why it should always be considered as a course of action for thyroid patients with low cortisol issues.

This is a link on an NHS website in the UK. It is by Professor Peter Hindmarsh and Kathy Geertsma in the Department of Endocrinology at Great Ormond Street Hospital. It is called 'Extra Hydrocortisone Dose at 04:00 Hours (4 AM) in Illness.

New Study on Effectiveness of T3 Treatment

By Paul on Fri, 28/03/2014 - 11:15

We don't often see many studies concerning T3 replacement. Here is one research study that showed positive outcomes with T3 replacement when used in three doses per day (much like the Recovering with T3 protocol).

In the study hypothyroid patients were evaluated with T3 (Liothyronine) treatment dosed three times per day against T4 (Levothyroxine, Synthroid) treatment. Many measurements were taken and the T3 was more effective in resolving their hypothyroid symptoms.

Hormone Restoration for Health and Quality of Life

I have just been given the link to a very interesting website owned and developed by Henry Lindner, M.D.

The site is called 'Hormone Restoration for Health and Quality of Life' and I greatly recommend that patients explore this. There is a great deal of useful and interesting information present on the website.

The link to the site is: http://www.hormonerestoration.com/index.html

Success Story

I can now report that for the last year I have felt better than I have since the birth of my youngest child 21 years ago.
