The latest discovery in the treatment of hypothyroidism, the under active thyroid gland, seems to be seen as a miracle therapy. The use of the blend between the thyroid hormones T3 and T4 is believed to be the most promising way of therapy ever found for cases of hypothyroidism condition. But treated patients don’t always know the risks they confront while therapy as they are in most cases poorly informed by their curing physician.

In the introduction of the new treatment’s study a few basic information about the thyroid are required. The thyroid gland secretes and releases into the bloodstream two dissimilar hormones; T3 called triiodothyronine contains a chain of three Iodine atoms and is the 90% number of the secretion, it is the active thyroid hormone. The second secreted substance is T4 called thyroxin with four Iodine atoms; it can embark on and turn into T3 by a chemical reaction of discount of an Iodine atom. T3 is eight times more considerable than the other hormone but in emergency situations when the body urgently needs more triiodothyronine T4 will rapidly turn into T3.

During the hormone replacement treatment many patients have complained of a strange ill sensation; the pills simply seemed to harm them in some way even though the thyroid hormones level in the blood was perfectly normal. In normal circumstances, the thorough recipe of replacing the thyroid secretion was the supervision of a pill containing thyroxin only. When a doses of T3 hormone was added to the quarterly medication patients showed immediate improvements in the normal estate.

The new blend of both triiodothyronine and thyroxine seemed to issue hypothyroidism symptoms like depression, fatigue and brain fog. A new clinical study was made upon the T3-T4 medication to see its long-term effects. A number of 33 hypothyroid patients with severe underactivity of the thyroid gland were firstly treated with a high concentrated dose of thyroxine and then with a blend of a lower number of T4 and also T3. The conclusions were a sure success in the combined medication with great revision in the quality of life.

This study has also proven why the alternative treatment treatments have shown so many benefic succeed while administering the hypothyroid patients the Armour thyroid, a natural thyroid extract contained in drugs like Westhroid and Naturethroid. Both the products as well as the artificial drug Thyrolar contain a moderate blend of both basic thyroid hormones. The thorough medication with concentrated T4 can now be literally completed by administering the further pill Cytomel containing pure T3 extract.

The new medication has very improved the life and the symptomathology of severe hypothyroidism patients. Some however still complain of chronic symptoms like depression, muscle aches or lethargy, signs that we cannot replace nature as hard as we try to.
