[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 9771, member: 696"] Sorry, but your physician's rationale just doesn't make any sense. T4 is the storage hormone and it's purpose (for the most part) is to convert downstream to T3, which is the active form of thyroid hormone in the body. When there are issues like illness, stress, nutrient & electrolyte deficiencies, adrenal & iron concerns, etc., the body will redirect the T3 conversion into more Reverse T3 conversion. In similar fashion to a fever, it's the body's way of defending a preserving until balance is restored. If everything is functioning correctly then you would hope to see both FT4 and FT3 in the 50% to 80% area of their respective lab ranges, and RT3 at a respectable ratio when calculated to FT3. The whole point of a productive thyroid is to get FT3 to the cells in the body to promote energy, metabolism, and all the benefits that come with it. Armour provides what your thyroid would see naturally with T4, T3, T2 & T1, with some variation on the ratio between humans and pigs. Anxiety would be a factor when you are over doing it with the medications, or if other issues are evident where RT3 is elevated and FT3 is pooling, which can revert back to adrenal issues and having the resources to cope with stress.
