I do know a Dr that perscribes this along with progesterone, bio-identical thyroid, testoterone, and estrogen.
Me myself, I have read some books by Dr's that suggest this is a good thing.
Now comming from the medical community that has no intrest in helping you get well and healthy and loves to see you spend your money on treatments this just kills their credibility.
Oh and the pharmacuitical companies that cant patent this drug as it is derived from wild yams which by the way controls all studies in everything would much rather you take something like a perscription where the tend to make money.
Not the financial intrests of the Dr's that have intrest in these pharmacuitical companys.
Dr's now days dont listen to you, they rely on blood tests, they dont treat the condition or cause just the simptom.
They (Dr's & pharmacy Co's) even changed the criteria for cholesterol from 250 mg/dl to 200 mg/dl just to put millions of people on cholesterol lowering medication which is bad on the liver, gives you muscle atrophy all in the name of good health.
Oh, what is that? An under active thyroid can give you high cholesterol. Lets just lower the cholesterol and not worry about the thyroid which aids in the whole metabolism, clearity, protein and carb synthesis.
Dont get me started on the Medical industry.
My mom had low thyroid. They gave her T4 synthrod (sp) she never lost a lb.
I bet she never converted the Synthetic T4 into T3 at all.
Went to the gynocoligist for years and probably had cancer for 5 years before they found it.
It was a huge mass and they never did a visual.
Lazy Dr's
It upsets me.
I bet with the correct thyroid medication and some progesterone she would be alive today.
Many if not most Dr's dont know anything about hormones. I bet many gear users know more about hormones than the Dr's they go to
Joke.
