The first big breakthrough I've had while Peating came a couple months ago when I discovered Greek yogurt. I realize now that Peatian success depends on adequate protein, and I was seriously lacking. Even with buckets of yogurt, and a slightly higher than normal pulse, my temps rarely exceeded 97.7 F.
I had experimented with thyroid in the past, but it always seemed to lower my pulse and temps - so I gave it up for a while to focus on foods. I've experimented with supplements too, trying everything from from P5P to Methylene Blue with little to show for it. My health has been moving in the right direction, despite the erratic one step forward and two steps back process. That’s the way it’s been… until today.
Vision_of_Strength had posted about his success grouping multiple supplements for a redox balancing effect and a shift toward oxidation. I tried his Peat recommended combo once before, but I had some chest discomfort at the same time. I realize now that it was likely unrelated to the pills, but I still stopped supplementing for week just to be safe.
This past week I’ve been discussing the merits of a Peat inspired protocol with other forum members. Since it was top of mind, and I had all the debated supplements, I tried the combo again today, spur of the moment, in the early afternoon when I usually get cold and tired. I decided to take 500mg Niacin, 200 mg B1, 100mcg Vit.K, 400iu VitE, 25,000 iu Vit A, 5mg DHEA, 500mg aspirin and 4000iu VitD. I had taken a full grain of cynoplus that morning and had been nibbling on a cynomel up to that point.
After eating more protein, getting my liver, magnesium and OJ, the thyroid had bumped my pulse to the mid 90's. Unfortunately, my temps were still in the mid 97's. After taking the combination of supplements however, my pulse shot up to 99 degrees!
I know it's just one time, but that’s one heck of a coincidence!
I’ll be trying it again tomorrow, all day, and recording what happens.
I do have a couple questions though:
1. The effects wore off after an hour or two (I didn't check the time sadly) which was expected. If I continue to take this combination of supplements, and keep my pulse and temps elevated, how long will I need to continue dosing...until my PUFA stores are depleted? Sooner?
2. Is this the elusive “uncoupling” effect?
We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
