Problems with high dose T3 therapy part 1

The basics:
1-The thyroid gland makes T4 and T3. Most T3 that is in the body is not made by the thyroid gland. It’s made by the peripheral tissues.
2- All the different tissues in the body are able to regulate their metabolism indepently of the other tissues.
3- Hyperthyroid and Hypothryoid systems are the result of what’s happening to the tissues cells.
4- Most of what we experience is adaptive physiology not broken physiology.
5- If: T4 is low or normal, T3 is low, rT3 is low, = this person is developing glandular dysfunction.
If: T4 is normal, T3 is low, rT3 is high or high/normal = this person has adaptive change going on.
6- Providing T3 might: Temporarily improve your systems, Improve T3 and fT3 in the bloodstream, see lower rT3, have hyperthyroid and hypothyroid symptoms.
7- Doesn’t fix the problem!

I took a high dose, 75 mcg 2x per day and I felt really well, I was carnivore and intermittent fasting to be able to absorb it well. Then I began eating carbs and dairy, the medication didn’t absorb anymore and I felt terrible. You need a higher dose than your body would
make because you are now taking a full replacement dose of T3 only.

I am currently taking a combination of T4 and T3. I started on 1/2 a grain and my doc continued to increase until I was taking 2 grains with 1 grain of T3. Before T3 was added I felt pretty good. My sleep had significantly improved and I lost at least 45 pounds without even trying.
After I received it i noticed my weight and sleep changed. I never thought it was the addition of T3, because I thought my body needed it because there was no improvement in my T3 lab levels.

This video is a breath of fresh air. If someone wanted to get off T3 mono therapy, what kind of tapering rate should they do per week?

[@askdrbalcavage]

That depends on the individual.

I went off cold turkey when it was out of stock and I would not recommend that. I couldn’t breath and thought I was going to die while I was sleeping at night.

What is considered a high dose? Just saying a "high dose" is unspecified!
