We don't know what else she is eating. I would recommend UVB, eliminating all carotenoids, getting enough muscle meat for zinc and soluble fiber.View attachment 61023
Problem is somewhere else (thyroid). Fix it you will fix the problem with vit A.
No, the problem is the liver. Fix that and fix everything including thyroid.Problem is somewhere else (thyroid). Fix it you will fix the problem with vit A.
No matter what she is eating, if the girl is not having big quantity of vit A in her life, you should start to open your eyes and see that many people that have what you call "vit A toxicity" don't even have a big quantity of vit A in their daily life especially if she is a kid, not even had time to stock all the A in the liver (according to Garrett theory). Now we should admit that the problem is somewhere else and that people benefiting from restricting vit A are maybe hypo or low vit D or something else. By fixing this something else people could live normaly without having "toxicity" when they eat a carrot.We don't know what else she is eating.

Have you read Grant Genereux's books?No matter what she is eating, if the girl is not having big quantity of vit A in her life, you should start to open your eyes and see that many people that have what you call "vit A toxicity" don't even have a big quantity of vit A in their daily life especially if she is a kid, not even had time to stock all the A in the liver (according to Garrett theory).

Yes and I have a close friend that is doing the exact grant gereux diet for 2 years with everything copper psyllium and doing the thing like a nazi. Results were pretty good on the first 6 months, he is now not good at all.Have you read Grant Genereux's books?
We live in a very toxic environment, from water, air, food, radiation, electronics, furniture, clothes, creams.....a very long list, all of these put a huge burden on the body, the body does not have enough energy to cope successfully protect themselves from these chemicals and eliminate them effectively. From an early age we are bombarded with the chemicals collected in breast milk, then the long series of vaccines, plus the trauma of modern society through induced panic.@md_a and what is the cause of autoimmune hypothyroidism?

Others have different, perhaps better, results depending on the level of understanding and applicability. I've known about Ray Peat since 2009 and I've successfully applied the information from him, and the ones that didn't work for me I put aside or came back to if I had a better context. I keep my mind open to any information that can help me make my life easier in this sick society, no matter where it comes from.I've had a skin condition for 7 yrs after being on the Ray Peat diet 6 yrs (including using thyroid hormone). I've tried retinyl palmitate, UVB, and liver. Zero improvement. The only thing that is making a difference is supporting my liver and it's still not budging much. I think the Peat diet is woefully inadequate in supporting the liver including getting rid of endotoxin or mold toxins. Bile is mostly re-absorbed. I don't even know how much one carrot a day can mop up anything. Not to mention it has it's own plant chemicals. Peat believed an energized liver with thyroid hormones could basically solve anything. I wish that was the case.

Oh I understood it. I'm a stay at home mom I spent so many yrs of my young children's lives reading and being obsessed with all of it. Constantly I felt like I wasn't doing it right though. Always looking for the answer. I see many like that. Searching and searching for the thing that will cure them. Letting go of that has really brought to light what the problem was. I am clearly someone who struggles to get rid of certain toxins. Not necessarily carotenes as I never turned orange, but possibly an immune reaction to lutein. My immune system was definitely messed up either way. And my gut got worse. I was almost zero fiber, I now believe that to be a giant mistake. I was afraid of the dreaded endotoxin and then in the end I made my gut worse. Carrots tasted toxic to me so I didn't eat them.Others have different, perhaps better, results depending on the level of understanding and applicability.

Didn't work for you, worked for thousands of people. Broda Barnes didn't use much more than anything except thyroid to cure many diseases, yet I have the feeling you are spending most of your time in a RAYPEAT forum to make sure that what worked for you must be the truth. Kind of Jehovah's witness vitamin A. What do you say to my friend trying 2 years of maximum low vit A diet and having worst results ever ? (he got now all symptoms of hypothyroidism and don't want to stop his diet because he is following Garrett like a religious man).
That's fine with me, now it's time to waste a few more years of your life to see what conclusion you'll come to when you're sure you've exhausted your vitamin A reserves. You're young, you've got all the time ahead of you.Oh I understood it. I'm a stay at home mom I spent so many yrs of my young children's lives reading and being obsessed with all of it.

I am not on a zero vit A diet. And I have no intention on bringing my serum levels to under 10. Just to be clear. And I am not wasting my time. I was seeing a progression of worse gut health over the yrs. I don't want to be stuck. It's not just low vit A, it's clearing toxic bile I am mostly aimed at.That's fine with me, now it's time to waste a few more years of your life to see what conclusion you'll come to when you're sure you've exhausted your vitamin A reserves.
