I never thought of this in relation to thyroid treatment.  Some would say the
multivitamin wouldn't accomplish the job.  That the vitamin we take called
vitamin C would not cure us if we had scurvy.  But a potato would.  If this
is true, it is possible that Armour Thyroid, which is a lot more like food
than the synthetics, it may be the whole reason it works for some of us,
because, it has T1, T2, and maybe even tiny traces of other things that might
be helpful to us.

If you ask some people the difference between honey and white sugar they will
tell you there is none because they both turn to glucose in digestion.  It's
usually hard to find any nutrition content on honey, yet a long time ago DC
Jarvis, what we would call an alternative doctor today listed the vitamin and
mineral content.  I suspect those baby bees couldn't get by on just glucose.
But they needed all those tiny doses of micronutrients that are really in it
that aren't recognized by many nutition people today, and it probably is a
bit higher than our white sugar which is devoid of all nutrition.  Or our
white flour which they take all the nutrients from and then because a
president demanded it, after years of no nutritional value at all enriched it
with different vitamins.  Did our doctors ever speak up and tell the public
they were ruining our nutrition by processing the food so it had no
nutritional content. (Silly thinking doctor equals health  which equals, at
least in part proper nutrition.)   Probably as many as say synthetic T4 is
best because it's synthetic.
