    Low Thyroid And Iron Go Together?

    Why do so many thyroid patients also have low iron levels. It is especially true for women. Is it true peat thinks iron is a toxic substance and so we don't want to try and raise it ? My wife is trying to get her iron up. Is she doing the right thing ?

    Digital Thermometers Often Read Low

    It took me quite a while before I figured out that all the digital thermometers that I have and have used, when they beep "ready to read", actually read about 0.5-0.7 deg F lower than if I leave them in 2-3 more minutes. I find this has been true both under arm and oral. Just a heads' up...

    DHT Lowers Cortisol, Estrogen And Is Neuroprotective

    Quick intro: I'm a 30 year old male, who around the age of 14/15 developed depression. I haven't since then experienced enjoyment - except for about a week maybe 5 years ago whilst beginning a ketogenic diet (it eventually faded, as did my ability to not eat carbohydrate). My mental life...

    Why I Removed My Healthy Breasts And Ovaries

    I saw this video this morning: Why I Removed My Healthy Breasts And Ovaries I'm sure this was an incredibly difficult decision for this woman to make, and I don't feel it's my place to judge her either way for the choice she made. More generally, I'm curious to hear what your thoughts are on...

    Optimal Blood Sugar Levels?

    Hey, Has Peat mentioned anything about optimal blood sugar levels? The only quote in which he mentioned numbers was related to the resistance to allergy.

    How Much Does Prolactin Fluctuate From Day To Day

    I've had two prolactin tests that were massively different. My prolactin seems to have dropped from 33.63mg/mL down to 16.5mg/mL in just 12 days (I've had two separate blood tests taken). This seems to me to be a massive fluctuation. Does anybody know if this is common? The labs I ordered...

    Supplements For Parkinson Disease

    Hi all, My uncle is diagnosed with Parkinson, which is very bad news of course. It is good to finally understand what is going on, but the traditional outlook for Parkinson is not that good. I think that he is not someone that will change his diet too radically (I can try of course), so that...

    Which Nitric Oxide Test Strips Values Should Be Used?

    I have the brand Two Blue Diamonds test strips and am wondering if I should use the "Optimal" value, which is 200 umol/L on the bottle, or try to minimize my nitric oxide levels to read a lower or lesser value for better health. I am hoping perhaps haidut might be able to shed some light as...

    Progesterone And Sleep

    Why is Progesterone the only thing that allows me to get a good nights sleep? I have tried thyroid, and many other peat drugs/supps and the only thing that works is progesterone. Would DHT have a similar effect? For some context I am a 23 year old male, been suffering with hypogonadism for...

    Another View On Acne

    A few quotes from a newish article I just came across on Youtopia. Acne in Recovery: I Know, Let’s Just Cut Out Food Groups! The idea that recovery from severe undereating (esp. when it has gone far enough to result in amenorrhea) has some similarities with the premenarchal development, and...
