3rd Generation Belgian Thyroid Doctor Reveals Why Common Thyroid Medications Today Don’t Work in First of Kind Scientific Study
Discover why you’re still experiencing thyroid symptoms despite testing and treatment, and the simple fix to help you get back to the happy and healthy you.
You see, in 1974 these newer T4-only thyroid medications were first introduced in Belgium with big promises.
Yet, within six months of introducing them to his patients, Dr. Jacques Hertoghe, a 3rd generation Belgian thyroid specialist, discovered that many of their thyroid symptoms were not only returning, but worsening.
It wasn’t until 1984, after a decade of not being able to prove that these newer thyroid medications were inferior, a new thyroid test was developed that would give Dr. Jacques Hertoghe the answers he needed to do just that.
This ultimately led Dr. Hertoghe to help pioneer a clinical research study titled “Thyroid Insufficiency. Is Thyroxine the Only Valuable Drug?” that would later be published in the Journal of Nutritional & Environmental Medicine, and that would expose the truth about modern thyroid medications.
The first time I read the results of this study, I was downright angry.
Why wasn’t the medical community talking about it? Why weren’t doctors discussing it with their hypothyroid patients?
Why was it simply being ignored?
Yet, this life-changing study held the answers that have now helped tens of thousands of thyroid sufferers to finally regain control over their thyroid health and live a happy normal life.
And it was surprisingly simple…
Here’s the Problem for Thyroid Sufferers...
The vast majority of thyroid sufferers are not able to convert these newer medications into the good active T3 form of the hormone that their body needs to overcome their hypothyroidism.
In fact, THIS might have been the most shocking part of the whole study...
Take a look at this table taken directly from the study, which I’ve highlighted.
It shows that patients treated with these newer T4-only medications experienced just as bad symptoms (worse actually) as hypothyroid sufferers who were taking no medication at all.
And that was after nearly 3 years of treatment!
So, it wasn’t that they needed to be on the medication longer.
It simply wasn’t working.
But why?
That’s when it all made sense.
Take a look at the results again, but instead, look at the “T3” measurements...
Compare the T3 results of those who were “untreated” and not taking any medication compared to the “T4 treated” who were taking the newer T4-only medications.
There’s virtually no difference at all.
You see, T3 is the good active form of thyroid hormone you need to feel your best.
It’s no wonder that they didn’t feel any better.
Now look at the T3 results of those who were treated with the older NDT medication (Natural Desiccated Thyroid)... Their good active T3 hormone levels were more than double that of those using the newer T4-only medications.
This was the evidence that Dr. Jacques Hertoghe was looking for.
It proved that his patients were not able to convert the newer T4-only medications into the good active form of thyroid hormone that they needed.
And it ultimately proved that the decline in his patients’ thyroid health was real and not something to be ignored or dismissed.
But, this study did even more than that...
It also gave us a simple fix that can change the way you look and feel.
More on this in a minute.
First, you need to understand this...
If You Still Struggle with Thyroid Symptoms Despite Testing or Treatment... You’re Not Alone...
Here at Forefront Health, we specialize in thyroid health where what we teach is based on little-known thyroid research like this study we just shared, and the resulting successes of our clients.
We’ve had the pleasure of working with tens of thousands of hypothyroid sufferers.
The stories that we hear almost always mimic what Dr. Jacques Hertoghe discovered.
The vast majority are still being treated with these newer T4-only medications, yet they continue to struggle with thyroid symptoms every single day.
Many plead with their doctor to no avail.
Many seek out alternative solutions, which don’t actually fix the problem and leave them little better off.
It can be overwhelming, leaving you feeling alone and helpless with nowhere to turn.
Perhaps you find yourself frequently needing to slow down when the exhaustion and mental fog set in.
Maybe you face challenges with your weight regardless of your efforts or how diligently you try.
Maybe you suffer from agonizing joint or muscle pain that can bring your life to dead stop.
Or, maybe you just feel like you’ve lost control... and the life has been drained from your body.
You’re certainly not alone...
I know the feelings all too well, which is what led me to pour through the research and discover studies, just like the one I shared here.
These studies hold the clues to overcoming the hidden causes of this life-draining condition, like the one I’m about to share with you.
With the help of these thyroid researchers, along with chemists, engineers, and specialists, we set out to bring these simple solutions to life.
These solutions have now helped tens of thousands of our thyroid clients to finally regain control over their thyroid health.
They can help you take back control of your life too, so you can get back to living the life you’ve always wanted.
The answers are oftentimes hidden in plain sight...
If You Look Closer...
Dr. Hertoghe’s Research Study Also Gave Us the Simple Fix to Help You Get Back to the Happy and Healthy You...
There was something else worth noting in the table above from Dr. Hertoghe’s study.
It might not be obvious, but they took the same group who were being treated with the newer T4-only medications and gave them the older desiccated thyroid medication.
This resulted in a 250% increase in their good active T3 thyroid hormone levels.
Not surprisingly, their symptom scores were also nearly 300% better.
Simply put, the desiccated thyroid allowed them to convert and produce more of the good active T3 hormone they needed.
As a result, they finally began to see real improvement in their symptoms and their quality of life.
Yet, here’s the dilemma that most like yourself face.
If you can’t convert your T4-only medication into the good active T3 form of the hormone that your cells need, you’ll always be hypothyroid.
It won’t matter how much medication you take or how long you take it.
It never makes it to your cells.
And if you can’t get the good active thyroid hormone to your cells, then like most, you could remain trapped by this condition your entire life.
Yet, every day doesn’t have to be a struggle.
You can put an end to this life-draining condition and change your life forever.
Just as Dr. Jacques Hertoghe showed us, it all starts with desiccated thyroid.
It’s a supplement we’ve been using with our clients for years to help improve the conversion of good active thyroid and ultimately to help give you your life back.
The Natural Approach to Thyroid Health for the 21st Century
You might not know this, but for thousands of years, native cultures have used the thyroid glands of the animals they consumed to naturally support their thyroid health.
Unfortunately, dietary practices have changed over the past 100+ years preventing people from getting the thyroid support they need from diet alone.
While taking a tiny Raw Desiccated Thyroid capsule may be more socially acceptable today than what our ancestors did to support their thyroid health, it’s still the same natural approach that has been used for centuries.
It’s true that you could consume more organ meats and glands in your diet. In fact, we’ve always encouraged our clients to do just that.
Yet, they prefer an easier and more convenient solution, which is where Raw Desiccated Thyroid really shines.
There’s no need to spend the time or energy to source high quality ingredients, drive to the farm to get them, prepare it all into a palatable meal, and clean up the mess afterwards.
It’s Raw Desiccated Thyroid all in a tiny, convenient, and taste-free capsule.
No Prescription Required and Easy to Use
With Your Medication...
Let’s face it. The number of viable medical treatment options for thyroid sufferers is severely lacking.
If Dr. Jacques Hertoghe and other brilliant thyroid researchers and specialists couldn’t convince the medical system to do what’s right and offer the best treatment options available, we figured there’s no sense in beating a dead horse.
That’s why we formulated our Raw Desiccated Thyroid as a dietary supplement to make it available over-the-counter, without the need for a prescription.
In addition to Dr. Hertogh’s findings, we’ve also discovered that we get just as good results while using it with your current thyroid medication as opposed to as a replacement.
So, we don’t recommend you stop your current thyroid medication without your doctor's consent.
We designed this to be used together with your existing thyroid medication, or alone if you’re not currently using one.
Take Back Control of Your Health...
Most doctors are doing their best, but keep in mind they are trained to treat you based on your labs.
The truth is, your thyroid health can’t be boiled down to just a lab result or two.
That’s why most doctors simply look at your labs, make sure everything is in range, and send you on your way regardless of the number of thyroid symptoms you continue to suffer from.
They don’t typically take the time to listen and understand what you’re going through.
So, while we would never recommend you go against your doctor’s orders, we also don’t pretend that doctors always know what’s best.
That was also evident in Dr. Jacques Hertoghe’s study, where he noted that they followed up with patients who had stabilized under the use of desiccated thyroid, who were later taken off of it by their doctor, and who then experienced a return of all the same symptoms as before.
Unfortunately, we’ve had similar experiences with some of our clients as well.
Nobody knows your body better than you, not even your doctor.
So, if you’re not fortunate enough to work with a thyroid specialist who understands the difference that desiccated thyroid can make, then you have to be willing to take control of your own thyroid health.
But, that doesn’t mean you have to go it alone.
We’ll Give You Everything You Need to Ensure Your Success
We would never hand you something and say “Good luck!”, and expect you to figure it out yourself.
We don’t believe in luck. We believe in science.
We also believe in giving you the tools and resources you need to succeed.
That’s why we’ve developed a guide that gives you step-by-step instructions and walks you through how to use our Raw Desiccated Thyroid for best results.
It removes all guesswork.
More importantly, it will give you the confidence every step of the way knowing that you’re on the right path back to thyroid health.
If you happen to run into any questions along the way, no problem.
We have a world-class support team that is always happy to help.

...It is amazing how much better I feel along with less pain, better sleep and more energy...
"My experience has been nothing short of amazing. I am 63 years old and thought I was going to feel weak and tired for the rest of my life. I am highly sensitive to most medications and supplements so I have to start low and slow. Of course my doctors have said I have great thyroid numbers but I knew something was off. I took the Raw Desiccated Thyroid for a couple of months and I could see a difference in my hair and skin. I decided to increase the amount and I felt even better. It is amazing how much better I feel along with less pain, better sleep and more energy. Can’t wait to see how much better I will get."
—Robin M., Raw Desiccated Thyroid Customer
...It worked immediately, and after over a month continues to work! I love it!...
"I have been taking thyroid since I was 13 yrs old. When they discontinued my original medication and put me on T4-only, I was set on a painful journey of 50 yrs trying to find something that works. If I did find something, then it was discontinued, or the price was ridiculous. This product is a game changer. It worked immediately, and after over a month continues to work! I love it! And I'm so thankful for the doctors and this website for giving me something that works and is affordable to someone on a fixed income. God Bless!"

A Lot Goes Into A Desiccated Thyroid Supplement
You Can Trust...
NEW ZEALAND BOVINE SOURCE
As with everything you put in your body, quality matters. That’s why we aimed to source our bovine desiccated thyroid from the healthiest cattle in the world. It didn’t take long to settle on the cattle of New Zealand. From lush open pastures, grass-fed diets, and dedication to animal welfare, these are truly the happiest and healthiest cattle in the world.
MADE IN THE USA IN A GMP CERTIFIED FACILITY
Where your supplements are made matters more than you might think. In an effort to minimize costs and maximize profits, many outsource their manufacturing outside of the USA where the same rules and regulations don’t apply. It’s no wonder that independent reports have shown that so many supplements don’t even contain the ingredients or amounts listed on the product label.
We know that to help you get the best results, we need our Raw Desiccated Thyroid to be the best. That’s why we make it right here in the USA, in a GMP certified facility that continually sets and raises the bar for the rest of the supplement industry.
RAW AND UNDENATURED
Clean raw ingredients are only half the battle, as even the best ingredients can be ruined by a bad manufacturing process. Many desiccated thyroid suppliers use chemicals or heat that can denature the ingredient and reduce its effectiveness, or even render it entirely useless.
We take great care in our manufacturing process to ensure our Raw Desiccated Thyroid remains undenatured. This starts with no chemicals or heat. We also use low-temperature lyophilization and even the grinding of the material is done using carbon dioxide to prevent oxidation. That’s how we ensure the preservation of all natural constituents for a truly undenatured product that delivers unparalleled results.
HIGH QUALITY, SAFE, AND ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS
While we have an unwavering commitment to quality, we also wanted to create a product that used all natural ingredients and that was safe for anyone to use. That’s why all of our products are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and GMO-free.

"I am coming back to a pleasant normal."
After 18 years of increasing amounts of T4-only medication, ending with mega doses and feeling horrible, due to a severe case of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, I am half way through my first bottle of the Raw Desiccated Thyroid and am gradually feeling as though I am coming back to a pleasant normal. Joints, muscles, and small bone structures feel less painful. My energy is perking up. I do feel better all around even though I’m only 2/3 of the way through my first bottle. I do look forward to a couple more rounds of this product to achieve the MOST benefit.
—Kimberley B., Raw Desiccated Thyroid Customer
"What a difference."
I have been taking the Raw Desiccated Thyroid for about one month. Within the first week I noticed a difference in my energy. I have had symptoms of hypothyroid for almost 35 years, but doctors always told me that I was in the normal range. As the years went by I became more symptomatic. The fatigue was so bad that some days I couldn't do simple chores. Now one month after beginning the thyroid I can start a load of laundry, load the dishwasher, mop the floors, vacuum, go outside and do some gardening, back in, fold the laundry, put laundry away... it's only noon, now what can I do? What a difference. Thank you!
—Cherie C., Raw Desiccated Thyroid Customer
"Our blood labs were all within normal levels"
My wife and I have been using your product for 1 1/2 years now, and we both see an improvement in our energy and sleep. Also our blood labs were all within normal levels, no highs or low ranges. We know we will only need to keep our thyroid sustained as we age. It is one of the master glands. Thank you Forefront, for a great product.
—Vincent B., Raw Desiccated Thyroid Customer
"Haven't felt this good for years!!!"
I am 68 years old and I've been on T4-only medication for about 12 years. Lately I’ve been gaining weight and sleeping 12-14 hours a day. Thyroid numbers are always in the "normal" range. 3 weeks ago I started taking this Raw Desiccated Thyroid and I IMMEDIATELY felt better. Haven't felt this good for years!!!
