Foster’s Thyroid Protocol

I get liquid synthetic T3 and synthetic T4 (as in haidut’s Tyromix or BSP’s T3 and T4), and I dilute them in another dropper bottle, so I fill the second empty bottle with some solvent (DMSO, ethanol, or water), and I put a single drop of T3 and drop of T4 (or a drop of a pre-mixed combination of the two) in the new solvent, so it’s a 1/1200th dilution (say in a 60 mL bottle with 1200 drops).

Depending on the concentration of the original T3 and T4 solution, you could add another drop of the original solution to the diluted solution daily, or every two or three days, or even every several days if you find you still have adrenergic symptoms.

Regularly measuring your pulse and using a BP monitor can be helpful, and the beta-blocker propranolol can bring you heart rate down if it gets above 120, as can raw cabbage juice or propylthiouracil.

Each drop of the original solution has 3 mcg T3 and 6 mcg T4.

With each additional drop of the original solution into the diluted solution, the dose per drop of the diluted solution increases by 0.0025 mcg T3 and 0.005 mcg T4.

One may tolerate an increase of 0.004 mcg T3 and 0.008 mcg T4 per day, but any more than this may cause adrenaline sensitization and bring the pulse to above 120 BPM or higher.  The increased dosage adjustment may be accomplished by adding 3 drops of the original solution to the diluted solution on day 1; 1 drop on day 2; and 1 drop on day 3.  Day 4 will repeat the cycle.  An example of this type of protocol appears below:
