Looking Beyond Thyroid Replacement Hormone
"If a test confirms low thyroid, what's wrong with treating a low thyroid with thyroid hormone? ...it's a travesty to give thyroid hormone without first doing the assays we described in
How to Cure Diabetes. Why? The reason is if the physician has failed to assay the nutrient deficiencies that made the gland malfunctional, then you have lost the golden opportunity to fix or cure the problem and be without medications.
Iodine,
selenium,
essential fatty acids like
Cod Liver Oil,
Phosphatidyl Choline (PC),
Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC),
Phosphatidyl Serine (PS), etc, are some of the many nutrient deficiencies that must be corrected in order to repair the gland. And for you folks who have seen your T4 assays be high or normal, but your T3 is low, this screams of a doc who doesn't even know you need
selenium to convert T4 to the active thyroid hormone, T3. And when they prescribe the popular synthetic Synthroid, this is only T4. So no wonder you don't feel great on it. You still cannot convert it to its active form."
