T3 Question???????

KaotikChem · Mar 5, 2003

I have been doing some research about T3 for awhile now but cant seem to find what I am looking for.

It is among many of the listed side effects that T3 has the potential to permanantly damage one's thyroid. Although
I cant find an ounce of real info that backs this up and was hoping that someone on the board could direct me to some studies that may or may not show this to be true.

OR perhaps someone has some personal experience or knows someone directly who has personal experience with this side effect??

Thanks

dont know what the study was but the gist o fit was people who had been on thyroid drugs for like 30 years bounced back fairly quickly (relatively speaking), no permanent damage was shown

Yeah, Raver had actually theorized about it not doing any permanent damage to the thyroid, and I believe the T-mag boys came out a year or so later and said he was right, because a study showed it to be true.

Studies do support Ravers/TMags claims. But then you hear rumors of folks (mostly women) who have Thyroid problems from T3. Id say if you do it short term (as you would a normal AS cycle) it would be fine. Taper up and down-maybe use T3 or clen afterward.
