I have been Peating for over a year now, and I have seen some really incredible improvements in my health, from a place where I constantly felt like I was going to die, and that's no exaggeration.
But I still feel like I am only staying well by keeping the gas pedal to the floor, so to speak. If I miss any thyroid or have a cheat day, even only once every month, I regress very quickly. I can get everything back under control, but I only recently read that in Hypothyroid people carotene can interfere with thyroid and conversion to vitamin A. Has anyone on here dealt specifically with an excess of carotene? If you have, what was it like and how did it get better? How long does carotene stay in the body if you aren't able to convert it? I just took a large does of sublingual B12 (with 6, 1, and 3 also), and my temperature immediately went up and I felt pretty good. If carotene has been keeping me from improving fully, that would make sense because I haven't taken B12 ever, and might not have been able to detox the level of carotene in my tissues (I do not have a particularly orange hue, however).
Before I discovered Peat I was juicing lots of carrots, after a few years of going to Robek's juice and always getting carrot, which is apparently THE BEST way to get a huge load of carotene in your body. It was about that time that I started developing serious problems, and of course I was mistakenly under the impression that raw vegetables were great for you.
