I also take Levothyroxine. I used to take Armour. Armour is a natural where Levotyroxine is a synthetic. So being into natural you would think I'd want to stick with the Armour. But the fact of the matter for some reason the synthetic works better. That's what I was told by the medical profession (and by doctors into the natural route) and for me it seems to be true.

I take my Levo in the morning and don't take my HCG for another hour just to make sure there is no interference. And I too lose slowly. I don't know if Armour over Levo would help over that but after taking Armour for many years I kind of doubt it.

I'm new here for posting but have lurked for a while learning what I can. You are all an inspiration. :) As far as Kevin Trudeau is concerned, I don't know him personally but I do listen to his radio show online and he admits to doing things in the past that may have been questionable but I believe he is trying to help the public be informed now. Much of what he talks about I have known for years in the health arena, as well as other controversial things he speaks about, so I know he is being pretty truthful there. I'm also thankful to him for bringing HCG into light for us to finally cure our weight issues and health. Sure he can make lots of money with his books and pushing products but much of the money goes to defending himself in court when he's being vilified and charged with things he just shouldn't be by these powerful goons in control. He's not the enemy now. His sponsors also help to keep him on the air so he can continue to inform us of health issues and conspiracies that are no longer theories imo. I applaud him for standing up the the thugs of big Pharma and huge corporations that try to keep us fat and sick for their own gain and hide the truth from us and in some ways I think Kevin is possibly redeeming himself from questionable motives in the past. Again just my opinion. :) I love listening to his wealth of knowledge which has catapulted me into taking control of my own health so nobody else can control it with drugs and so called health care practices. :) I am following the original Pounds and Inches Protocol though until I'm done, with very little straying. I do use as close to organic as I can and it tastes much better.

blue- you're fine. you can only reach muscle with an insulin needle if you're quite thin, and even so you're not going to get far enough into the muscle for it to work as IM should. some people feel the IM (1.5" needles) injections work better, as this is what was done with the original protocol.

rhenn- the armour is to increase levels of T3, the levo for T4- i take both.

I know of a great, I mean amazing scientist, which has helped me so much with all my issues regarding hormones that no other doctor was able to do, and he has told me what a horrible person Kevin Trudeau is. Before Kevin Trudeau would actually sell products that were suppose to cure cancer and practically save your life, but had so many law suits from people, and so many complaints that the FDA had to ban him from selling products. So now he is only allowed to sell books. He is a millionaire a hundred times over and he writes horrible misleading information and packages it as the gospel truth. I know that there are hundreds of ordinary ingredients that can help many sicknesses, (for example cinnamon helps maintain sugar levels, and that the pharmaceutical companies are not the greatest) but for a man to blatantly lie to sell products and for him to be sued so many times by ordinary individuals is enough for me not to trust him. I believe he is a genius business man, for he found a hot topic, such as HCG diet, and wrote a whole book simply adding bonus info to the original diet that doctor (Simeons) who actually did the work and had a proper study developed. Just be cautious.
