Well, the @FDA is at it again! While blind to the mRNA shots and their harm, they are working to REMOVE dessicated thyroid medications from the market. Short thread on how this negatively impacts patients. https://www.fda.gov/drugs/enforcement-activities-fda/fdas-actions-address-unapproved-thyroid-medications
@molsjames - Dr Mollie James
The majority of doctors base thyroid management on getting the labs right--labs based on sick people--not optimization. They ignore patients who are tired, cold, gaining weight and hair shedding but instead say "Your labs are normal" https://t.co/eQE6LfIDar
@molsjames - Dr Mollie James
Most doctors don't run a thorough lab panel. A TSH is used for 'screening' in many. Maybe a Free T4 if they're fairly sophisticated. Almost never do I see a free T3 or reverse T3--the true correlates of symptoms from low functioning thyroid.
@molsjames - Dr Mollie James
Why does this matter? Optimizing thryoid changes patients lives. We have switched many from synthetics to dessicated thyroid--with a combination of T3 and T4, they get that energy bump directly. Many have lower reverse T3 over time. At @james_clinic we titrate to symptoms instead of labs.
@molsjames - Dr Mollie James
Did you know what TIME you get labs in relation to taking your meds matters also? Getting that lab panel late in the day or too early after taking meds may not be accurate. So, they adjust meds based on a moving, false target instead of resolving symptoms (the basis of all successful hormone optimization.)
@molsjames - Dr Mollie James
Why is the @FDA doing this? Reports of harm? From whom? About what? How did we investigate that. A med 1.5 million people take/year that has been around for over 100 years is a target? (Let's not forget the mRNA shots that were forced on MILLIONS of people with devastating side effects that just keep going and going)
@molsjames - Dr Mollie James
@james_clinic @FDA @DrMakaryFDA @RobertKennedyJr The war on healthy people and hormone optimization needs to end. I'm sure other patients on dessicated thryoid are like most of ours--happy, more energetic, losing weight, and feeling better than ever. What a crisis! (insert sarcasm)

@james_clinic @FDA @DrMakaryFDA @RobertKennedyJr One must understand how the thyroid works to help patients manage. Here's a short guide developed by @fxmed https://t.co/wlpMaTT98T

@Robert_Heitner8 @FDA It goes by symptoms, not labs. Elevated TSH is a sign your body wants more thyroid. I’d recommend a second opinion.
@molsjames - Dr Mollie James
@cdavlin3 @FDA I use the same one

Hint: it’s not seed oils Doctors with a major platform failing to acknowledge the damage of covid shots just shows where their true loyalty lies-and it’s not protecting you!
