L-T3 users had a 1.7-fold increased risk of heart failure and a 1.8-fold risk of stroke

Although this probably has been discussed before, it might still be helpful for us to discuss what this means for us. Is T3 really unsafe and will increase the risk of heart failure and stroke?
I feel good with combo therapy or T3 only therapy, but had an interesting experiment, n=1...
No thyroid therapy: TSH = 6
T4/T3 therapy: TSH = 0.74
T3 only therapy: TSH = 1.7It seems that combo worked better for me, since Dr. Peat had said that TSH in itself might be destructive. There might have been other factors involved but these tests were taking within a few months of each other.
I am still experimenting....
