Colleen:
Thanks for the kind response. Yes, I do wish they would take the thryoid out of all endocrinologists. Then they won't be so quick to judge

Do you think we'd get any volunteers?
The thing I read about
Armour is that it contains many vital things. One of which is something that are actually the "powerhouses" for your cells. Obviously some of those cells effect your skin cells and hair follicals. That is why we get dry skin and our hair falling out when we our thryoid glands faulter. In other words you get rapid ageing.
I also found out recent discoveries indicate all cells have kind of a little motor in it's walls, like an engine in your car with a stick shift! If that cell doesn't get the information (to pass along to its neighbors) it needs, it will die, or forget what it is supposed to do and perhaps turn against the other cells(cancer).
So in the end Science is discovering that low-life...is really very sophisticated!
The nuerotransmitters in the brain, are particulary sensitive to a lack of T3 because the information interruption effects your thinking...so you notice it more there. The body actually swells while the head shrinks when you are hypothryoid. The brain needs lots of fat in order to stay in good form, but what happens when you are hypo...is much like getting SEVERELY dehydrated. So you get to be kind of like a swollen prune. What you see on the outside is really only a fraction of what is happening on the INSIDE. Pretty whacked huh?
I know...I'm such a geek. But figured I'd share. LOL
