Hi Janelle,
Interesting that you mention natural thyroid. My thyroid has been low forever and I was on Armour for many years and was doing fine. Since taking lithium, the hypothyroidism has gotten much worse. In fact, that's the main reason I want to try orotate. It's even recommended for low thyroid! My current HMO provider has me on increasing doses of synthetic thyroid and I'm not sure about it. One advantage I've noticed is that I don't get the spikes of jitteriness caused by T3 hitting my bloodstream as I did with Armour. On the other hand, I feel I could use a bit more of that T3 zoom. I have a feeling I'm going to have to take things into my own hands and add a pinch of Armour from my stash in the afternoons.You're very lucky with your doc. Here's another good site with info on cell transporters:
