Book Reviews of Hormonal Balance: Understanding Hormones, Weight, and Your Metabolism
Book Review: Armour's misinterpretation
Summary: 3 Stars
I haven't read the book but wanted to comment on the person who said he's misinformed about Armour's. Perhaps this is something he didn't explain clearly. I'm an RN who is also a homeopath and clinical nutritionist who no longer practices but does copywriting and consulting in holistic medicine. When possible, it is best to take something closer to nature. Armour's, in my opinion, is preferable when it is indicated - but it isn't always indicated. Armour's comes from a pig. So for a vegetarian, it might not be a good choice. But it is what makes it more bioidentical to a human. However, it is higher in T3 than T4, the active form of thyroid hormone. It also contains the other forms of thyroid hormone that we don't know much about. Which you would think is a good thing. But for some people, it's too much T3 and they do better with T4, hence Synthroid. While Synthroid is synthetic, it is still bioidentical. If someone is taking too much T3, it causes hyperthyroid effects - increasing heart rate and blood pressure. I would suspect this is what the dr is referring to when he says it can be dangerous. A hyper state can also cause bone loss and many other problems over the long term. Some people do best with one over the other while others may actually do best on a combination.
