Yeah, traditional thyroid doctors like Breda Barnes usually started with 30 milligrams of a well-standardized product, like at that time it was Armour thyroid. But I have seen two people who reacted very surprisingly to 15 milligrams, a fourth of a grain, with heart pain, and I realized what's happening is that your cells, especially your big muscle cells, retain magnesium and calcium in a balance. Calcium is a relaxant, and thyroid is needed for the muscles to retain the proper amount of magnesium, and your heart has that same magnesium-retaining, stabilizing effect when your thyroid is good.
