[QUOTE="Mr. T, post: 110011, member: 17587"] I'm glad you posted this, Nelson. I've been reading TiredThyroid (thanks, Orrin) and this is one of the areas of thyroid debate. The author has done a lot of research (she is a former data analyst and cites her sources) - here are some of her thoughts: [URL="http://www.tiredthyroid.com/rt3-3.html"]A reverse T3 ratio greater than 20 does not indicate good health any more than a normal TSH does[/URL] [SIZE=2][URL="http://www.tiredthyroid.com/rt3-4.html"]Reverse T3’s role in the body[/URL] "Normal, healthy people produce reverse T3, it is not poison, and it is a normal pathway for the breakdown of T4. It is actually abnormal to have no reverse T3"[/SIZE] [URL="http://www.tiredthyroid.com/rt3-1.html"]Reverse T3 and the “T3-only” protocol[/URL] - "The reverse T3 ratio is a nonsensical number because the ratio can be low when Free T3 is high or Free T3 is low. A high FT3 and a low FT3 are different conditions and should not be treated the same way." [URL="http://www.tiredthyroid.com/rt3.html"]Reverse T3: Side Effects of T3-only (or why you need T4 too)[/URL] - she addresses "clearing" rT3 and T3-only protocols I'm hoping some of the thyroid gurus will chime in - thyroid is complex and confusing to me.
