T3 is Protective Against Cancer

By Paul on Sun, 24/02/2019 - 10:09

This is a health study that implies that FT4 and FT3 levels when in a good range are protective of health. FT3 and FT4 tend to protect again many sources of mortality including  cardiovascular related mortality. FT3 levels especially being at a good level protect against cancer.

Here is the study and the link to it:

We Need a Better Wagon!

Current Thyroid Treatment is Flawed. 

Synthetic T4 (Synthroid, Levothyroxine) was first introduced in the 1950s. Current thyroid lab tests were invented in the 1970s.

Before these events, all doctors had available was good clinical judgement, based on the symptoms and signs of the patient, and the option to use natural desiccated thyroid (NDT). 

Welcome to the Dark Ages of Thyroid Treatment within the UK

By Paul on Thu, 07/02/2019 - 13:33

We have a dark and insidious situation developing in the UK.

It is also happening in other countries. 

Just as we appear to have more and more pieces of medical research that begin to show that T3 (Liothyronine) is necessary for some thyroid patients there is a shift against T3 from many endocrinologists and funding areas (Clinical Commission Groups, or CCGs, in the UK).

Why the FT3 Lab Reference Range may Not be Applicable for People on T3-Only, NDT, T4/T3 Therapy

By Paul on Wed, 23/01/2019 - 11:24

Why is it foolish to rigidly apply the FT3 lab reference range for people on T3-Only, and probably for those on T4/T3 and NDT too?

Almost all doctors think the FT3 reference range should always be abided by, i.e. an FT3 result should always be in range. Most patients agree with this approach too - as it is what they are often told.

Often the effect of doing this is that patient's T3 medication is never increased to a therapeutic dose, or it may even be reduced if FT3 is above the top of the range. So, why isn't this ok?
