"Turn into Reverse T3​ which blocks thyroid action, lowers metabolism and makes patients feel like they are hypothyroid (this is what you DON'T want to have happen but ends up happening in many patients on T4 only medications)"

This has now been proved to be untrue. rT3 does not block thyroid receptors, it has its own receptors, and the truth is, no-one really knows what effect it actually had. So, if his theory rest on that, then it's all false.
