“Optimizing thryoid changes patients lives”
A fantastic short thread on X from Senior Fellow Dr. Mollie James about the FDA removing dessicated thyroid medications from the market. https://x.com/molsjames/status/1955414504096849984

All cells have thyroid receptors, thus need thyroid hormone for normal function. Natural desiccated thyroid has T4, T3, and T1 and T2. They are all necessary or they would not be there after all our years of natural selection/evolution. When carefully evaluated and managed, virtually all patients do better on natural desiccated thyroid
What we need is to do away with the FDA as it currently exists/functions.

Thanks for that note jwilliamEarnhardt, hopefully the FDA will change more toward what it should be.

This news is upsetting to me! Armour Thyroid has been my lifeline since 2008, and I have maintained good thyroid labs all this time per testing every 6 months. It took 35 years for a proper diagnosis, which involves T3. I don’t regulate well with levothyroxine.
Is there a way for us “patients” to express our concern to the powers that be making these decisions? I think most of us 2 million people on the medication weren’t aware of the potential change.
