Regarding the recent reformulation of Armour, they replaced the cellulose and dextrose with CORNSTARCH - no wonder I had a bad affect.

Compounding chemists would be able to supply with say oil or whatever doesn't cause a reaction.

Hey all! My sister's got the Hashi, was just Dx'd last year (Mom's got RA, I've got spondy...were are just a genetic mess over here;)

Anyway, I don't think she know's about this. Why would the Govt want to take this med away? I'm confused as to why they would want to do this??? And endanger peoples lives - it's so ludacris!

Can you tell me why they are doing this?

Thanks

Ok, it just hit my house... I run out of Armour in two days and my refill is Levothyroxine... I can't tell if I'm freaked out or not. I love the list of side effects. I sort of miss the days when I just did what my doctor told me... gives me insight to why most of the customers seen by dominitrixes are CEOs

Its to do with CODEX who are stopping anything 'natural' which comes in in Dec 2009

You can get armour equivalent at your Compounding Chemist, just get the script written in a manner that they can fill it.

The American A@@ociation of Health Freedom have a petition to stop the CODEX Bill.

"The Codex Commission is dominated by Europe which is implementing an extremely restrictive supplement regime. Under this regime, a supplement containing more beta carotene than a couple of carrots is deemed dangerous."

FDA Attacks Natural Thyroid Millions Depend On

We have learned that Time-Cap Labs, producer of a generic version of the brand name drug Armour, a natural and bioidentical thyroid replacement, has been ordered by the FDA to stop production. The FDA has decided to classify the company’s product, available for over a century, as an unapproved new drug. Since the new drug approval process is prohibitively expensive for a non-patentable substance, the FDA is in effect banning the natural product. The purpose? Presumably to protect the profits of other, inferior drugs that have been FDA approved.

According to statistics by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and other medical organizations, approximately twenty-seven million Americans have a thyroid disorder. Thyroid consumer advocate Mary Shomon projects that 2 million of these patients take either Armour Thyroid or a generic equivalent.

Armour and other "whole" natural thyroid preparations (including Westhroid and Nathroid as well as Time-Cap Lab’s Thyroid) are bio-identical, complete hormone preparations, containing "T4" "T3" "T2" and "T1" in the same proportions made by the human thyroid.

The FDA approved preparations Synthroid (T4), Cytomel (T3), and Levethyroxine (T4) include bio-identical molecules, but are not complete or totally bio-identical as they do not contain "T2" or "T1". It’s no wonder so many people feel much better with the balanced natural products that have been available for generations.

As famed physician Dr. Jonathan Wright observes: “Natural thyroid has never killed or severely harmed anyone since its first use in the 1890s, prior to the FDA itself. It is a mainstay not only in the treatment of hypothyroidism but also in ‘healthy aging’ therapy. That the FDA should even be thinking of requiring a new drug approval for a safe, 100 plus year old natural treatment is outrageous.”

We will report further as soon as we confirm more of the facts, and as always, we’ll let you know how you can get involved.
