Need help with Ray's thyroid conversion. I've heard Peat say at least 6 or 7 times (once in each of the last 2 Patrick Timpone interviews), that 1 Cynoplus tablet is equivalent to just over 2 grains of Armour. I've always dismissed this as ignorance on my part or I didn't care because I wasn't taking Cynoplus.
Well, I've been taking Cynoplus for about a year now and I'm confused because Peat makes statements that people generally need X grains of thyroid, etc., and I'm not sure what doses he's describing.
If 1 Cynoplus is 30mcg T3 and 120mcg T4,
and according the FDA prescribing info;
1 grain of Armour is 9mcg T3 and 38mcg T4,
then how is 1 Cynoplus tablet "just over 2 grains" and not "just over 3 grains?"
I searched the email wiki and he says, "Half a grain of Armour, or about 30 mcg of T4 and 7.5 mcg of T3..." Seems like he's saying that 1 grain is 15mcg T3 and 60mcg T4 (which would line up with him saying that 1 Cynoplus equals 2 grains of Armour).
Peat also wrote, "...a total of 25 mcg T3 and 100 of T4.That would be similar to the traditional 2 grain dose of Armour thyroid." Which by modern definitions would be over 2.5 grains.
At the end of the day, it's basically a moot point because you need what you need, but I'm curious if Peat says that, "rarely people need 5 grains," does he mean 75mcg T3 and 300mcg T4, or 45 and 190?
Is he taking into account some sort of difference in the way synthetic vs. NDT affects the body?
Did Armour contain different amounts of thyroid hormone in the past?
Sorry if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find it.
