NDT advice please
Hello everyone I’m on T4/T3 combined meds for UAT. I read on here about people being on NDT, I’ve never tried it or been offered it. How do you go about trying to get a trial? It’s obviously an Endo route but are they even receptive to this as an option if you ask? I’m very curious to find out if this

NDT Source
Hello Running very low on NDT. Any recommendations where to purchase from? Bought just before c-1-9. Please share available sources and variations. I have been on a few brands of NDT. All seem to work fine as long as it is NDT. So if my current brand is not available for whatever reason, it appears

WHERE TO FROM HERE
Hi. I am 10 months post thyroidectomy. I am well and am on 180ndt a day as a single dose. My GP is telling me he is concerned about such a high dose and feels I am using the NDT as a stimulant to live my active lifestyle. My GP has told me he is worried about me and the 180ndt is as addictive as nicotine

Modified Citrus Pectin - reply from Dr Eliaz
Patients were not on
ADT
during the study. They had no
ADT
for a few months before the beginning of the study. I assume that if we excluded anyone who had
ADT
we would have gotten even better results. 80% of patients with BRPC have increased PSA velocity/shortening of PSADT over time.

Awful test results! What dosage increase should I make?
Hello everyone, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place at the minute and I don't really know what to do for the best. Hence, I am looking for some help and advice.

Former patients of the late Dr Gordon Skinner
This post has two purposes. First, so that everyone knows about the research itself. Second, so that anyone who does feel strongly can make use of the opt-out. While hoping that few, if any, use this opt-out, it is nonetheless right and proper that each and every former patient knows of this opt-out

Thyroid medication update
So presently taking 60 NDT and 25 t4 synthroid. I couldn't tolerate 90 ndt so my doctor gave me 25 t4 as a slower release and doesn't hit as hard as ndt. So it seems this addition of t4 has helped me. My sleep is better, my eyebrows filling in more, the few pounds I was holding onto seem to have dropped
