Ask Dr. Barre

I take 5mcg liothyronine daily and 25 mcg Levothyroxin half week and 50 half of week. I very much want to stop (I really don’t like interfacing with western medicine at all) and do not want to crash. I would love suggestions how to best do this.

Thanks

Dorothy

I weaned myself off of a low dose of a natural desiccated thyroid hormone called NatureThroid about 3 years ago. I received acupuncture treatments from my TCM doctor and supplemented with iodine and selenium. However, knowing more now than I did then, I would have probably taken AV’s zero point mineral supplement along with my constitutional cell salt + bridge salts + 12 in 1.
