Raven... I am also a real believer and fan of NDT since it was such a stunning success for me in resolving so many hypo issues that I had, issues that Synthroid seemed to just exacerbate. I might add that I have no iron or adrenal issues so stabilizing on NDT was very easy for me to do.
However, there are some folks who don't do well on NDT (natural desiccated thyroid (brand names such as Armour and Naturethroid) and do well on Synthroid/synthetic T 4. I can't convert t 4 to t 3 and so, have to have the natural NDT product. My sister, on the other hand, has done fabulously on Synthroid since the eighties and had all kinds of problems with NDT when she tried to take it a few years back at my urging. But she does have hashis and I don't. The compounded product can be another option for hypo sufferers since the fillers/additives in the commercial brands can be problematic for some and this alternative gives them some control over that aspect. Here is an article that might be helpful to some in explaining why it is so difficult to be a 'purist' in the sense of subscribing to one form of thyroid medication to the exclusion of others. Those who struggle to find the right product and the correct dosage have my sympathies. It can be an arduous and frustrating journey for some. https://chriskresser.com/3-steps-to-choosing-the-right-thyroid-hormone/ An excerpt from the article... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "However, in some cases patients do feel better with synthetic hormones. One reason for this is that a small subset of people with Hashimoto’s produce antibodies not only to their thyroid tissue (TPO and TG), but also to their own thyroid hormones (T4 and T3). These patients do worse with bio-identical sources because they increased the source of the autoimmune attack." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lola ---- Original Message ----- From: RaVen <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, 16 Aug 2015 12:32:38 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Re: CS>Thyroid Nodules I highly recommend anyone with Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism to take only NATURAL DISSICATED THYROID from Porcine - it's only made from a compounding pharmacy. Insurance will NOT cover it... it's near human form and creates both T3 and T4 that most synthetic thyroid drugs do NOT make. Then see Dr Rommel Geronimo (From San Diego, CA)who can offer long distant consultation via phone/emails/Skype --- he will help you pin point exactly what you need to do to change your diet, to add certain supplements that you need, and repair every organs - intestinal, endocrine, cognitive, nervous system and take a lot of tests to make sure there's no parasites, food allergies, celiac disease, and etc. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
