1996-09-02 Thyroid Function - Gary Null + Ray Peat
topic is thyroid
- alternative medicine
- pepper mint oil
- chelation study with indirect proof
- ray peat b/g
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_claudication
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid
- common for young people to have "growing pains"
- cause is accumulation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycosaminoglycan
- similar to old people blood vessel gegenration
- to energize cells you need both thyroid and magnesium
- lack of either leads to cramps
- many related symptoms: funny legs, heart problem, insomnia, muscle pain
- adaptation: stress causes thyroid to go down - "hibernate" response
- example: first 12...24 hour of fasting runs on sugars from liver, then starts burning fat and muscle
- the more stress the lower the thyroid, gets chronically depressed with age
- need to send clear signal to the body, when stress is over
- vicious cycle: low thyroid prevents sugars storage; the body now is in a slow decay mode
- observation: sick people with low body temperature are less likely to get well - the cause is low thyroid
- when you are on low thyroid too long you are living on adrenalin and cortisone - stress adaptation
- RP saw low thyroid people who produced 30...40 times more adrenalin then normal as compensation
- high adrenalin state is the cause of confusion among doctors and patients
- it is supposed to be a temporary stress adaptation but makes people feel "as on drugs", when chronic
- also it is normal for adrenalin to go up at night, as night is "mini-fast"
- so nigh time stress goes up and up, results in insomnia, with more stress and more age
- extreme hypo-thyroid may lead to extreme hyper-adrenalin: loss of attention, extra irritability, depression
- so normalized thyroid will result in normalized adrenalin will result in "high tension" symptoms disapper
- stereotype of low thyroid people: "sluggish and lethargic", but a lot of them become hyper active
- Broda Barnes book "It is your liver, not your mind"
- found most hypoglycemic people are low thyroid
- 1930...40 research shows high cholesterol is indicator of low thyroid
- experiment: remove a thyroid gland, the cholesterol goes up; give thyroid supplement, cholesterol goes down
- because thyroid is needed to produce downstream substances: bile, progesterone, ....
- vitamin a and thyroid hormone is used up in the production of downstream substances
- RP saw people with cholesterol going down 100/day when given quick acting thyroid, 50/week with careful thyroid
- national US diet is anti-thyroid
- news: 100M Chinese are hypo thyroid and 5M are thyroid cretins
- beans are anti-thyroid
- cabbage and turnip are anti-thyroid
- cause of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myxedema
- explained in the mainstream as genetic, but can be cured with thyroid
- low thyroid is cause of mucous/watery substance accumulation with strange symptoms
- such as: prolapses, glaucoma, graves via TSH, varicose veins, deformed cartilage
- t3/t4 + pregnenelone + progesterone + dhea will re-balance these symptoms in 1...2 weeks
