The Federal Death Association (FDA), I mean the United States regulators of food and drug agency that was created in mind to regulate our 'safety' has waged a full assault on natural thyroid preparations, which have been available since the early 1800s.

If you haven't already surmised, I'm no fan of the FDA! Their conduct on drug safety is dubious at best, and their tight scrutiny over natural products has been short sighted to say the least. The FDA has made plans to ban Pyridoxamine, a very potent vitamin B6 derivative that inhibits glycation.

The FDA also has their eyes set on banning yet another form of active B6 vitamin called pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (P5P). In both cases, to eliminate competition for a recent drug approval that does the same thing, except at a much higher cost!

This spurious agency has already waged an attack on bio-identical hormones, an act that has little to do with safety. Instead it is to protect their pharmaceutical pals, keeping exclusive rights to reap large profits from dispensing dangerous, synthetic, hormones, which are not even really hormones at all, but instead are in fact, deranged, reconfigured molecules that create more harm than benefits.

Unfortunately, most of the public have little idea what the difference is between natural and synthetic hormones, much less natural thyroid.

If you presently take thyroid medication, especially natural forms of thyroid, such as Armour, Nature-Throid or Westroid, then maybe you're already aware that supplies are presently close to zero. The public and even most medical professionals have no idea when or if these natural forms will be available again--maybe never!

If you're currently taking the inferior, synthetics you may not know what you're missing. If you haven't heard, the FDA is putting the "brakes" on natural thyroid availability, which means many have had to turn to ineffective substitutes such as Synthroid, Levothyroxine, Levoxyl, Novothyrox, Unithroid and others.

Most doctors have been led to believe that the "only" important thyroid hormones the body needs is T4 and T3. To the contrary, there are over a dozen types of thyroid hormone. Even worse, many physicans also believe that T4 alone is all that is 'needed.' The false belief is that T4 will sufficiently convert into the more active hormone T3. However, myths live on and are spread wide and deep throughout the medical community.

As far as the FDA is concerned, natural thyroid is an unapproved drug. Nevermind that it's been used successfully for over a hundred years, they've just suddenly decided, for whatever mysterious reason to classify a natural substance, as a drug, not yet bought and paid for to line the FDA's pockets for the usual, exorbitant approval status.

In spite of all this horrible news, there are still a few ways to obtain natural thyroid, just through different channels. While science still does not understand all the reasons why the human body needs more than just T3 and T4, it's quite clear that the other dozen or so hormones have their place as well.

For example,T2 has several critical functions in the human body, which affect energy production and several enzyme systems, many of which appear to prolong lifespan. Most patients feel terrible on synthetic T4 alone.

The best options at this point is to seek out natural, dessicated thyroid preparations while they are still and hopefully available. Standard Process brand makes thyrotrophin, Natural Sources brand makes a raw thyroid product as well. Still, one could order bio-identical thyroid through a compounding pharmacy. Unfortunately, these options are not as inexpensive as Armour thyroid was.

There is some encouraging news however, as efforts are currently underway to keep most of our natural thyroid preparations available. For the latest news, check out http://www.savenaturalthyroid.com/
