Proper protocol: One dose at a time, and give it time to work.
Q:
I just got back to town and got the Thyro-Gold
I’d ordered. It seemed promising for the first 24 hours. I took 10
caps per day, and for a while, my temperature was above 97. Right
now, my temperature is 93.7. I took 5 caps of Thyro-Gold about 1
hour ago, and now I feel awful. My temperature this morning is 94.
After I took Thyro-Gold, it went DOWN to 93.7. After an hour had
past, my temperature went up to 94.4. Again, I took 5 caps of
Thyro-Gold, and my temperature went down to 93.5. I don't think
Thyro-Gold is working for me at all! There may be too small a dose
in these big caps. This morning, I took 5 caps and they did nothing
for me. My temp is still between 93 and 94. Maybe the quality
control is poor. I say this because the first day I tried it, it
worked, but now it isn’t, even though I take 5 caps in the AM, 5 at
night, for a total of 10 caps per day. Temp is now up to 97.5. What
should I do? Thank you.

Dr. Lowe: Judging from your description, you’re not using
Thyro-Gold properly. My impression is that you think the product is
a fast-acting stimulant, such as caffeine tablets. This is
definitely not the case.
Most people should start with 1, 2, or 3 capsules initially, and
take that dose—without changing it up or down—for up to two weeks.
Jumping back and forth on your daily dose won’t allow enough time
for you to see what any particular dose does for you, good or bad.
The only result will be utter confusion.
At the end of the two weeks, after starting the initial dose, the
person should evaluate any benefits of the initial daily dose. If
there are no benefits, or the benefits aren’t satisfying, the person
should increase his or her dose by maybe one or two capsules.
Another waiting period of two weeks is then essential. It is
essential to see whether that daily dose provides satisfactory
benefits. Throughout the two-week time, the person should keep the
dosage the same—no increases, no decreases.
In addition, you said you started with 10 capsules per day. That is
far too many capsules for most people to start with. For most
people, it’s appropriate to start with 1-to-3 capsules. And again,
for emphasis, the person should stay on exactly that dose for the
two-weeks.
I believe it is crucial—if you’re to learn the proper protocol for
self-guided treatment—to download and read three free chapters from
a book I wrote. The chapters are at the following webpage:
http://www.thyroidscience.us/products/hsf/best.wishes.htm.
To properly use the information in the chapters, you’ll need to use
two forms. One is a self-monitoring form, and the other is an
overstimulation form. Using these during your self-care is as
important to your safety and success as using the steering wheel,
brake, and accelerator when driving your car. You can download these
for no charge from the following webpages:
http://www.drlowe.com/clincare/clinicalforms/Monitoring
Form.Blank.pdf
http://www.drlowe.com/clincare/clinicalforms/Symptoms.TH.Overstimulation.Lowe.pdf
I also strongly recommend that you read my Q&A section at
ThyroidScience.us. In many of my answers, I explain the proper
protocol. The listing of Q&As is at the following webpage:
http://www.thyroidscience.us/info/Q&As/QandAs.htm.
If you have any questions after reading the basic information, send
me an email at
drlowe@ThyroidScience.us. I answer as many people as I can, so
give me a few days to respond if I don’t write back immediately.
I wish you the very best of luck in exercising patience with each
separate dose of Thyro-Gold you try. Bear in mind that patience is
as an essential part of the proper protocol for self-guided
care no matter what thyroid product you use.
