> Noa has a lot of info on this subject at: http://www.egroups.com/links/psycho-babble-tipsI just finished reading Dr. Ridah Arem's book titled "The Thyroid Solution"... I recommend it to anyone who even suspects that their thyroid is part of the problem. In the book, Dr. Arem points out that while the thyroid gland normally produces thyroxine (T4) and the body breaks T4 down into T3, the thyroid also produces small amounts of T3 by itself. He suggests that anyone with an underactive (or absent) thyroid have their T3 levels tested to make sure the body is getting enough. If for some reason you aren't converting enough T4 into T3, you may not be getting everything your body needs from just the Synthroid (synthetic T4).
Again, this book was very enlightening and I highly recommend it.
