Research on importance of T3 for health

I stumbled across this article while searching for information on thyroid health and dementia. Most of the research cited has to do with physical health, but it is a gold mine of references. lapislight.com/wp/tag/demen...

haven't read all the article but what I did confirms my own experience. Since adding 20mcgm T3 to my 100mcgm levo my kidney function has improved from GFR of 57 or 58 to 66! My cholesterol came down when I was first put on levo.

T3 is needed by every cell in the body, such a pity that many medics do not understand this and yet here we have plenty of evidence.

Thanks for posting.
