I had read the article and he is an idiot, sorry... Armour Thyroid is a more natural thyroid treatment vs. a synthetic one. It is the one that natural doctors are prescribing NOW because it is better for the patient. I don’t even know if it was around in the 60’s....
If he messes up something so simple, I don’t trust his analysis on the other parts as much.
What is a “natural doctor”?
Wrong!
Thryroglobulin is produced by the thyroid gland and the body changes it to T4 and then it is metabolized periferally to the active form T3. Levothyroxin (the synthetic is T4) The body then metabolizes the T4 to T3 which is the active form of thyroxine. The synthetic is introducing a natural drug into the body and is much easier and safer to control than the T3 which is in Armour Thyroid.
