This précis does not give units, but seems odd that the TSH average in combo T3/T4 group was maintained at c.3, while T4 group was 1.5. Adding T3 to T4 made my TSH plummet to 0.0 type level! Have to try to get article proper to see what levels of levothyroxin were on before the swap of some 50 mcg of their T4 dose to 20mcg T3.

Excellent article.

Surely, it is a conflict of interest if the Drs are receiving payouts from the levo producers (whether the have shares or whatever)?

I recently had T3 introduced and it’s made a huge difference to me.

Quite a number of researchers have found that people benefit with a T4/T3 combination and one of our Advisers diogenes and the team of researchers have had paper accepted too.

It may be to the 'organisations' I am not sure but I do think they may well source the funding for Conferences.
