Take action by following the link at the end of this post to prevent the FDA from removing your access to sustained-release T3. The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) has released draft legislation that would enable the FDA to regulate both compounding pharmacies and the compounded medications themselves. Currently compounding pharmacies are regulated on the state level. Page 7 of the draft says: “may include the designation of drugs or categories of drugs that present demonstrable difficulties for compounding, such as extended release products….” As it turns out, extended release products are not difficult to compound. And, if you weren’t able to get sustained-release T3 from a compounding pharmacist you wouldn’t be able to get it anywhere because drug companies don’t make it. But even the medical literature states that sustained-release T3 is the safer, preferred way for delivering T3. If you are a resident of AK, CT, CO, GA, IL, IA, KS, KY, MD, MA, MN, NC, PA, RI, SC, TN, UT, VT, WA, WI, or WY then please contact your member of the Senate HELP Committee by CLICKING HERE and ask him to strike the extreme language that will discontinue access to sustained-release T3 and other useful medicines that are available in no other way.

About the Author: Dr. Denis Wilson
Denis Wilson, MD described Wilson 's Temperature Syndrome in 1988 after observing people with symptoms of low thyroid and low body temperature, yet who had normal blood tests. He found that by normalizing their temperatures with T3 (without T4) their symptoms often remained improved even after the treatment was discontinued. He was the first doctor to use sustained-release T3.
So there isn’t a problem in Oregon? If there is let me know. Thanks!!
No, the problem is federal, for the whole country. But only certain states have senators on the committee. If you want, you can still write your OR senators though I’m not sure how much it will help.
What if you are a resident of NY??
You could still contact your senators, but it may not make much of a difference since the states listed are the ones with senators on the committee working on this.
