This is a follow up to my post: What is a Normal Thyroid Test?
The subject was the ingestion of thyroid pills in a dosage that was 20 times normal. The blood testing confirmed it.
The patient had no symptoms of over active thyroid. What does this mean?
Some hormones when given in excess lose the capacity to evoke the problems and symptoms of excessive dosing. It’s comforting to know that if mistakes are made there may be no devastating problems.
For natural hyperthyroid states, the thyroid hormone is released in short “pulses” or “bursts” from the thyroid tissue much like a machine gun releases bullets in bursts. The tissues in the body recognize each “burst” as a single bullet that excites tissue to become hyperthyroid.
Pills, on the other hand, are slowly absorbed and are not received nor recognized as a burst. Rather, it is a slow, steady excess accumulation that is being pored on the tissues and in the blood in much the same way you would pour sugar in to a mixing bowel.
Tachyphylaxis is the name of this process and you can check it out on Wikipedia. I discussed the prior eNews to draw attention to how thyroid hormone works in a natural way and how it is different when taken by mouth.

Dr Joe,
Please answer the questions relating to Vitamin D overdose/under effect attached to your previous Thyroid newsletter of a few days ago. Like others, I am taking 50,000 IU's a day, as is my wife. We are now concerned that your commnets on thyroidism overdose/under effect also apply to Vit D. Do you not see the importance of answering your patients' questions appended to your last newsletter on thyroidism?
50,000 IU daily of Vitamin is perfect and that is what I am doing as well for the last 5 years. All these eNews I have put out was to show how the body handles different doses of hormones (Vitamin D is now a hormone) and accommodates so that there is no toxicity. It goes for thyroid and Vitamin D.
