This is another study that I missed from 2011, I am finding it impossible to catch them all. This is in line with Prof. Wiersinga's comments. I'll have to cross check and see if it is one he mentioned. PR

I read it. It says,on T3 you can lose weight and lower cholesterol. It does not have an adverse affect on the heart. Did I read that right,hope so. I shall print it off and give it to my endo.x

beaton, yes, T3 is an effective modality although don't expect doctors to believe it. The wheels of medical science grind ever so slowly. PR
