My mum has been on thyroxine for over 30years may be longer. She has been told it she needs it survive. She has had 2 thyroid operations and heart bypass which I think the latter is connected to the former. Her hair is thinning now, she sweats a lot has a very large gouter... Its pretty tragic really she trusts the doctors but I believe their treatments have brought her much more sickness than health in her life... I will be re reading this article.. Thank you writing it.

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I do find it so peculiar that the idea of using the active form of the thyroid hormone (T3) is so foreign to most doctors.

I’ve been on levo and have just started combined t4/t3 therapy (very low dose) and have gotten heart flutters both times. Do you know what the cause may be?

Hey Nathalie,

I am not sure about this brand. It seems that their devices operate on other light wavelengths as opposed to just red. The ones that I was referring to are something like what cytoled sells: https://cytoled.com/

They also have an article going over the benefits: https://cytoled.com/pages/faq

Some people also seem to get benefits from a simple chicken heat lamp which costs under $100.
