Black Lilly,
What made me like the idea of Armour is that it is bio-identical to human thyroid hormones and it has been around for decades (I took a pharmeceutical class in college and found out that anything under 10 years old - you're basically a guinea pig even if it's been approved by the FDA). I guess everyone's different but the only effects I've had from it have been good! I'm also going to be beginning a bio-identical progesterone cream. I just found out that you can buy this OTC but I got an Rx from my doctor and I'm sticking with it because I know for sure it's the right dose. I believe in natural therapies but I still think that it's smart to consult a doctor who knows about this stuff so that you aren't guessing on the dosages and you can experience the maximum benefits.
