Thank you for this Donna, can you tell me if its possible to get Naturethyroid in the UK though? I have a feeling that if its on prescription, I will have a hell of a job persuading my doctor to give me this. dee

You will never get better on that. They prescribe it on the basis that your body converts the T4 to T3 in your body and it does, but that¹s not all you need. The body naturally produces T4, T3 (and the body converts more T4 to T3 when it needs it), T2 T1 and Calcitonin. T4 medication does not address the T2, T1 and calcitonin. No allopathic doctor or endocrinologist will medicate you so that your symptoms go away. In fact you may be unlucky enough to have to eventually see the doctor because of depression, weight gain (that you simply cannot lose regardless of how well you eat and exercise), sluggishness no energy, all over body aches (fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome) all of which you¹ll be medicated for. I¹ve already posted in another thread about this but if you want to read other people¹s experiences, go to www.stopthethyroidmadness.com <http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com> .

Does anyone have any experience with this? Many thanks. dee
