I am so sick of being sick. My doctor treats me like a mental case. I have nodules on my thyroid, hair loss, ridges in my nails, tired all the time and on this levo. med I have gained 20 lbs. The doctor just ignores me and says my thyroid tests are good. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH. We are never going to get better.

I've read nodules on the left side of Thyroid can be because of something going on in your stomach (cancer) please get a second opinion just to be on the safe side

My doctor fired me when I tried to explain that my NDT dose needed to be higher because my free T3 and free T4 were well below mid-range and I had a lot of hypo symptoms. She claimed no one ever needs more than 2 grains or 120 mg NDT. Celiac causes me not to absorb as well as others. So much for taking information to a doctor 😕

I got prescribed levothyroxine and metformin over a year ago, and felt horrible - tiredness, heart palpitations, overall a nightmare. I decided to stop taking all of my meds and focus 100% on my diet, walking to improve my health and supplements like selenium, b complex, inositol, d3 etc. After 8 mouths i lost over 30 pounds and feel the best I've ever felt in my life.

Dr. Childs speaks the truth. My doctor has had me on a correct dose of armor thyroid since 2005 and not only do I feel amazing but I have probably the strongest bones on the planet. Find a Doctor who you can work with and who understands you and not one that fight with you.

Doesn't anybody "google" this fella? He no longer has his medical license, He's considered unconventional. He's here to sell his own supplements and remedies at his store in Mesa. He was an internist and a DO, doctor of osteopathy. He's not and wasn't an endocrinologist. Listen to what he's saying here and ask yourself what in the heck you're supposed to do with his information as far as taking that to your own physician, because your doctor will think you're nuts. He just wants you to buy his stuff.

Just want to feel like myself again. Then again, I have no idea what normal is anymore. 😑

Same. I feel like I'm getting the run around from my Dr.

Check the package insert for Synthroid. I had every side effect including hypercalcuria and heart palps. 8 years suppressed for TT and cancer and it has been so debilitating. My dr lied by omission. By the 3rd week of being on NDT I turned a corner and felt the best I had in years! So done with these jerks.

My last Endo refused to let me try. She was "the best for cancer" on this side of the country. I moved 2 years ago. I've missed about 10 cancer scans (due to the pandemic & moving). I'm seeing a new Endo in June. I called in March and got a "rush" appointment because my TSH went from undetectable to 8.16 🙄

@@dfreak01 I got my NDT filled from a holistic/functional Dr. I’m getting my first labs taken this week after I made the switch. I hope your TSH snd thyroglobulin gets back under control. What’s your dosage and brand you’re on? The phlebotomist told me a month ago she’s been hearing people are having trouble with Synthroid/Levo.

It took time to get dose right but I will tell you it’s like night and Day between DT and T 4 only. It’s like a light went on I swear. Thanks Dr for clearing all this up😁

I see many comments hating on Dr. Childs and questioning his ethics. Dr. Childs has written information in all his videos that he no longer practices medicine, so it is not useful to use that against him. Moreover, most of his videos have minimal to no mentions of his store. I just found out he has a store after the T2 video. This man is a critical thinker and so generous with his information. I occasionally don't agree with things he says, but give this man a break. He's doing great work and helping many.

I did best on Nature Throid....wish they would bring it back. I take NP now and all it does is give me heart palpitations and massive hair loss :(

I changed doctors and became my own advocate. Thanks to the level of of information from your videos, he prescribed NDT and what a difference. The Levo did nothing in the month I took it. With the NDT I have already lost 4 pounds in 3 weeks and energy level is getting better. We are now working on my hormones levels to make sure I am balanced.

I am an WNY American living now in Switzerland. I am unable to find NDT here. Grief, maybe I should find pork butchers to buy the thyroid gland and cut and dehydrate small pieces and a month!

Hi I hope you don't mind me asking an obvious question and that you won't mind answering please sir. Can I ask if you are in any way affiliated with or sponsored by this medication or anything to do with it please? I am about to go and discuss this really informative video with my doctor and this is a question I know he'd ask and would make me look totally ridiculous if I did not know the answer to. Thanks kindly in advance!

Please just *Google this fella and all of your questions will be answered. And yes, your doctor will form an opinion...

How would you know if you need NDT / what are symptoms?

Doctor what are your thoughts on L carnitine for weight loss. Plz reply. This might be unrelated to your current video but I would appreciate your response with my life.

how do i find a like minded MD near Anacortes WA ? and what does it cost because I am pretty sure medicare and Humana dont offer or cover it. Any help would be appreciated thank you.

Thank you. I can't get NDF here.

Not all human bodies are created the same and trust your instincts and how you feel

I'm on 250 mcg levothyroxine

Does NDT contain antibiotics or residual toxins from pigs?

So is NP thyroid porcine one that you consider an NDT? Is it providing T2 and T3?

Great question! I’m on 120mg NP Thyroid bc Armor changed their formula several yrs ago. And it’s hard for my pharmacy to get either one. 😢 My PCP refuses further tests than the standard one. I’ve gained 50 lbs I’d lost yrs ago, hair still thinning, insomnia, exhaustion, IBS-C, heavy chest, on & on. I had paid for my own slew of labs thru an online Dr. No hashi but very screwed up thyroid numbers! So bad they referred me to see a local endocrinologist! I live in very rural area with no major cities within ~80 miles any direction. No idea what to do to fix this mess.

Cynoplus has synthetic T4 and T3 and works well for many. Mexican pharmacies have it.

My MD thinks T3 is speed and is no good, and the last locum dr I went to refused testing because I am in the (reference range). Naturopath is the only Dr that gets it.
