I would suspect the vast majority of patients on SRT3 actually have their 
TSH suppressed.  Some people do just fine with TSH and T4 of -0-.  You don't 
need T4 or TSH to live, they are not life giving hormones.  Only T3 is.  
(Then why do I do better on Armour than SR-T3?  I have no idea.)

In a way it is Wilson's treatment.  In other ways, it's like the treatment 
of John C. Lowe (The Metabolic Treatment of Fibromyalgia), who will give up 
to 175 mcg of Cytomel to his patients.  However, he and Durrant-Peatfield, 
though both are/were performing "alternative" type medical treatments 
disparage Wilson's theory, as well as SR-T3 in general.  Derry simply said 
SR-T3 wasn't useful for his patients.  But, for those who find SR-T3, and 
really need it, it certainly is a blessing.
