Has anyone come across anything from Broda Barnes regarding thyroid therapy for toddlers?

Any references would be helpful as I'm collecting info to bring with us to our pediatrician.

Thank you

In chapter 17 of "Hypothyroidism, The Unsuspected Illness" he writes this regarding starting Thyroid Treatment- "Usually a child under thee years of age will not need more than one-quarter of grain daily. By the age of six, one-half grain may be used in the beginning."

Thank you! 1/4 of a grain is around 1.8 (T3) and 7.5 (T4.) At least when I do the math with cynoplus.

I would imagine that's broken up as I know adults who can't take more than a few mcg of T3 at a time.
