Hey guys,
I'm reading the forum and Peat since 2 month now but still haven't understood important things about the thyroid, this is why I wanted to ask you the following questions:
- I still don't understand why the blood test can show that you are euthyroid (normal thyroid hormone production) and how you can still suffer from hypothyroidism symptoms.
It seems that Broda Barnes called this phenomenon type 2 hypothyroidism but I still haven't read his books so don't really understand what would be a logical biological explanation for this.
Sorry if the question might sound stupid but I still have attention disorder, english is not my native langage and I've discovered Peat only since 2 month hence I don't really understand that.
- Furthermore, I still haven't really understood what's the difference between hypo and hyperthyroidism, it seems that Peat says that people can be diagnosed the same by different doctors so it's quite confusing to me .
I also remember that he said in an article that it might be good for regeneration to be slightly hyperthyroid? But isn't hyperthyroidism really bad and negative for health?
Is there a risk of thyroid overdose from supplementation or is it just that increasing/uncoupling (I still don't perfectly understand what it means) our metabolism needs increasing our nutrients intake and as long as we supply enough nutrients to the body we will not have bad consequences?
- It seems that Peat is drawing a sort of antagonism in hormonal pathways of thyroid and stress (adrenalin, cortisol, ACTH...) but I've read that high thyroid increases adrenalin and reduces GABA and it seems strange to me as thyroid is increasing metabolism and adrenalin seems to reduce or block it... Would it be better to raise our thyroid as much as we could while raising GABA and steroids as much as we could while lowering stress hormones as much as we could or is there some kind of subtle balance?
By the way I've read some people here saying that they wanted to slow down their respiration rate as if having a fast respiration rate was bad?
- In France it seems really difficult compared to the US to get drugs and to find a compliant doctor to prescribe it (they act a bit like "heroes" and "superior enlightened ones" and really hate when the patient is a bit directive and will not listen), doctors in this country really have strong egos and as we have the "sécurité sociale" most of our drugs are refunded, thus the prescription is really less easy to get and controlled and doctors have strong pressures from this system.
Would you have ideas on how to get some thyroid in this context please or does a dessicated animal thyroid gland would be good enough to correct a type 2 hypothyroidism that seems to not be recognized here?
By the way, what's the difference between thyroid products: Cytomel, Cytoplus and others. What is recommanded to take and why?
Thanks !
