Study: Low thyroid hormone increases death by heart attack

Amazing study, would Lugol's solution provide solution?

Ramjet - The best material on heart disease agrees with this. Low thyroid is often associated with insulin resistance as well. Many of us with hair loss have subclinical or normal thyroid but have low thyroid.

Iodine can reverse 90% of thyroid (under and over) cases. The remaining 10% would need the Armour thyroid.

Do you have to take armour thyroid forever, or do you take it until your thyroid functions normally again?

Also, my friend's doc told her he prefers synthroid over armor thyroid because you can control the dosage better. I think I might have asked you this before but what's the main problem with synthroid?

ganny - Almost every person I have ever told to insist on Armour with their primary care physician would later tell me the usual line--exactly what you stated above. "It is easier to measure."

Sure, while that is true there are two problems with synthetic thyroid.

(1) Your body has to convert T4 into T3 and Synthroid does not supply any T3
(2) To effectively convert T4 into T3, there must be adequate iodine, however Synthroid leeches iodine.

Instead of Armour (which requires a prescription, just like Synthroid does), using glandulars with Iodine is a better way to go. The reason is that glandulars are derived from various glands (Thymus, Pituitary Adrenal cortex, etc.) and since they all work together, the endocrine system can better regulate itself.

Another thing is that usually only T4 and T3 and TSH are measured. Many of use should also use the The Barnes Basal Temperature Method, because labs do not always tell the truth. If not in error, the standard tests do not apply to everybody. The Barnes Basal method should not be used in complete substitute, but it should be considered if standard tests come up "normal."
