Recovering with T3 is a really useful book - I bought it 3 months ago when I found out about T3/ Peat etc.. but only started reading it last week. It's very detailed and I learnt a lot. I'll try to write a summary of what I've read so far and post it, but you know... tempus fugit.
I did briefly read over some of the articles about it sometime ago. I think it encourages taking larger doses of T3 though, starting before you wake up, circadian rhythm. Its definitely anti-RP as it encourages taking large doses, versus smaller doses, and the larger doses seem to elevated liver enzymes. Am I right?
I also don't think this is "anti-Peat" .. Peat's stuff is gleaned off specific comments in specific circumstances, also the guy suggests starting low and working up which Peat does. He also says he aims for getting people onto less than 30mcg per day, again matches with Peat. It just has way more specifics than Peat on how, when, what to check, etc etc.
I think there's a blasé approach to T3 in the Peat community .. "i'll nibble t3 a few times a day when i remember and see what happens", people stop and start on a whim, don't give it the right amount of time to check, etc.
It's definitely worth a read.
