Armour thyroid literally has been a game changer for me... i would encourage everyone to read Dr David Brownstein book

Sounds like there are lobbies involved with the pharmaceutical companies that are making the levothyroxine. I have not been able to find anyone who will prescribe NDT. I was on Amour for years and felt so much better. What about getting NDT from out of the country? Or is there a way to make it at home?

I am severely allergic to all synthetic forms of thyroid hormones and no longer have a functioning thyroid gland due to Radioiodine treatment. What would I do if I can’t get natural desiccated thyroid? I live in Canada. Do you know if this is happening here as well?

What's the difference between compounded NDT versus it not being compounded? Would that mean it's an injection instead?

Since the 1980s I've battled to get the correct treatment for my hypothyroidism. Every time I move, or a doc retires, or they move to another practice in another state, I have to start all over educating the new one; taking the synthetics while watching all of my symptoms return, my blood test results show my body isn't processing the synthetic, and then start all over at very low doses of Armour and keep testing over the next year as I finally get to where I need to be.

Total thyroidectomy in 2019 due to graves thyrotoxicosis, gp left me undiagnosed for over a year, I went into thyroid crisis 😢.. So after thyroidectomy I was put on T4 levo, I have really bad stomach /gut issues (colitis /lactose intolorent) the first lot contained lactose, I got that sorted 😢 took gp 5 months to realise my bloods were only going to get worse, because I had server diarrhea, cramping and inflammation.

Antibiotic thyroid medicine from Dr emuakhe on KZbin from Africa vanished my thyroid case and haven't seen any reoccurrence to date, you're truly an epitome of good treatment..............

The thugs at the FDA making life as hard as possible for all of us.

Hypothetically could you make your own NDT?
