Yes and he advises tiny bits of Cynomel. For example, taking about 1/6 of a Cynomel with food every several hours. Maybe getting only 1/2 pill a day for several weeks, then upping it very slowly. Otherwise, you can get jittery. You want the effect to be smooth.

Salt
A friend had the celtic salt analyzed, and found it was high in toxic heavy metals. The pure white common salt is best.That standard isn't very strict, but the salt is probably safe, if it's white. I usually use either La Baleine or Morton's canning and pickling salt.
Some sea salt is refined, by sequential evaporation, until it's very pure; either kind of pure white salt without additives is good.

Thanks, I'm new to Thyroid doses, and that's what the pill I ordered came as.
No idea people split them.

Try organ meat for thyroid.
Yeah, I would like to see evidence, a report or something of the sort. Salt isn't safe just because it's white, they often have additives anti caking agents if the salt is refined, maybe not canning and pickling salt, but white salt doesn't necessarily mean safe.Salt

I'm also interested in this. A pattern I noticed that some women will tend to have fat accumulated in the lower body, below the waistline: legs, thigs, while being slimmer in the upper body.
Especially women who have been overweight in childhood.

Don't we all. Be sure she splits those pills and takes em with food or she'll be a mess.

The key is to be fat enough that you have 60+ days of energy stored on your body...
...but not so fat that you're unable to run away from potential danger.
She's blown everywhere, including arms and face.
Which comforts me in the theory that it's water weight from increased inflammation rather than fat.
Failing to find the cause of said inflammation, I'm starting her on a course of pregnenolone + T3 + T4.
After all, my inflammation has been under great control since starting pregnenolone + testosterone.
We all deserve a bit of chemistry in our lives.

Why aren't organs quick? In any case, use organs. Organs do not preclude the "quick fix".

I know several people who lost weight - and improved their body comp - with no changes other than getting an hour of morning sun, barefoot and as clothing-free as possible, each morning.

You want to use Guérande salt.
FoodForeal

I think that's the problem though. Guérande salt is included in the tamara rubin article. The question is whether the lead in French green clay is in a form which is bioavailable, which it seems it is. I thought that because celtic sea salt is harvested from France by hand in the same way it has been for thousands of years would mean it is safe. It certainly tastes better than refined salt but it does seem to have lead from the clay. Now I'm wondering if there's any way I can redissolve the salt with distilled water and gently let the salt water run off while leaving the clay particles with lead behind. Maybe I could run it through a coffee filter just to see what would be left behind if anything. I would assume that the lead is in a non soluble form or else it would've been dissolved by sea water over thousands of years. Stomach acid can still break it down though, I would think. Best not to risk it and filter it somehow or find a different natural water source. Maybe it would be easier to stop my city's water fluoridation than go through this.
FAQs
Here are answers to frequently asked questions regarding Selina Naturally Celtic Sea Salt® brand.
www.selinanaturally.com
We are confident that the salt you get from us is pure and unaltered, as Nature intended. Our producers test for purity at the source, and we do periodic 3rd party testing. We test for the things you do want to see in your salt like sodium, chloride, sulfate, magnesium, potassium, calcium, etc... The analysis tests for 72 elements and we get values back for about 60 of those. We also test for things you do NOT want in your salt, such as lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, microplastics, and microorganisms. We have found over the years that the analyses are very consistent. There is evidence that even though there is risk of pollution in the oceans, the salt is not bringing the pollution into its crystals. What comes out as salt is not the same as what sea water goes in. There is a miracle that takes place with natural unrefined sea salt!
Lead is naturally occurring in the environment. When it is in its natural form it is not reactive. When it comes from the result of mining it can be highly toxic. Lead never leaves the body once ingested, and stores in the bones and tissues. A myriad of diseases can result from lead toxicity. The main sources of lead in our environment comes from our air and water. Lead has been discovered in paint, toys, jewelry, fishing weights, and exhaust fumes. Lead in Celtic Sea Salt® does not exceed .7ppm (Fine Ground Celtic). Makai Pure has no measurable lead. The lead in Celtic Sea Salt is naturally occurring and does not pose a measurable threat compared to other sources.
Microplastics are pervasive in the environment. The main source of MPs is in the air. In a year we breathe billions of microplastics. From the salt the risk is from zero to no more than .5 MP per day, or 0 to 200MPs per year. When compared to other sources of microplastics, the amount found in salt is miniscule. No microplastics were discovered in Makai Pure or Fine Ground Celtic. 3 MPs were found in 1KG of Light Grey Celtic. We eat approximately 2 KGs of salt per year, so in a year the risk is 6 MPs per year for Light Grey Celtic®.

Are natural lead sources still toxic?

2. What is Celtic Sea Salt®?
Celtic Sea Salt® has been our brand name since 1976. At first there were only 3 salts, Light Grey Celtic®, Fine Ground Celtic®, and Flower of the Ocean®. Now, all our salts bear the name Celtic Sea Salt®. Each salt comes from a unique place, and we have given them unique names. The founder, Jacques Delangre, had a mission to bring unrefined salt to the USA after he discovered the salt in France that was harvested using traditional techniques. The Celts settled the Guerande' region of France almost 2000 years ago and designed the salt harvesting method.
“Celtic” is the term Jacques coined for the salt after learning that the Celts invented the harvesting method. In France, they call it "sel gris" or grey salt. We call it Light Grey Celtic® because of the trace amount of French green clay imparted into the crystals. There is a darker grey salt at the source, but it is more for bath or agriculture uses. The “Light Grey” is the best for consumption.

Does French green clay have lead?
French green clays range in color from shades of gray to green and are named according to the area of southern France where they were mined originally.
Brand 1, French green study clay, contained the highest level of total arsenic concentration with a lot-to-lot average of 31,607 ppb and the second-highest concentration of lead, with a lot-to-lot average of 44,633 ppb.
Our study demonstrated that daily application of a French green healing clay resulted in significant increases in total liver and kidney lead levels, when compared with control mice (Figure 2).

Here is a full analysis of the elements that comprise Light Grey Celtic Sea Salt® Brand. Celtic Sea Salt® Brand is a natural product and, therefore, the element composition and proportions are naturally-occurring. Nothing is added and nothing is removed. This analysis is conducted by a third-party laboratory that specializes in analyzing sea salts and ocean water. The analysis will not add up to 100% because of the presence of moisture and elements that occur in very small amounts in Celtic Sea Salt® Brand.

All results are expressed in percent (%) of original sample
Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, Nickel and Mercury
Our laboratory also tests for these elements that are sometimes referred to as “heavy metals” and that are present in many things we come into contact with every day in our environment. The Codex Alimentarius Commission -- formed by the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) and the WHO (World Health Organization) -- has established the maximum safe levels acceptable in food grade salt for some of these elements. In our most recent analysis all these elements were either non detectable (Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury) or were well under the published safe limits specified by Codex (Lead – present at levels no higher than .000076% while the Codex limit is .000200%). There are no limits specified for Nickel (present at levels no higher than .000004%).
Facts about Lead
Lead is present in trace amounts in virtually all sea salts because it is such a pervasive element in our world today. Lead is also present in things we come into contact with virtually every day. Environmental sources of lead include paint, water distribution systems, gasoline, certain types of tableware, ceramics, pottery, glassware and foods grown in contaminated soils (lead has been used in insecticides). Celtic Sea Salt® Brand tested free of shellfish allergens.

They make excuses about lead in their salt.
Maybe their other salts could be options. Makai Pure is expensive though.

11. What is your best salt?
A. There are 3 types of our best salt. What is the best salt for minerals? What is the best salt for the price? What is the best salt for applications?
The best salts for minerals are the Makai Pure®, Celtic Kosher™, and Gourmet Kosher™. Strangely enough, those are our salts that come from the waters of the Pacific Ocean. They all have less sodium and more chloride than our Atlantic Ocean salts like the Light Grey Celtic®, Fine Ground Celtic®, and Flower of the Ocean®. This does not mean that more minerals are necessarily better. The balance of minerals in all the salts are consistent with our internal body fluids. So having the most minerals may not be the best, while having the right proportion of minerals has more merit.
The best salts for the price are as follows: Gourmet Kosher™, Celtic Kosher™ Coarse, Light Grey Celtic®. More expensive salts like the Flower of the Ocean® and Makai Pure® are harder to harvest.
The best salts for applications are the following: Best for baking (Fine Ground Celtic®, Celtic Kosher™ Fine), best for pickling and cooking (Light Grey Celtic®, Gourmet Kosher™, Celtic Kosher™ Coarse), best for at the table (all of them, with their respective shaker or grinder), best for gourmet finishing (Flower of the Ocean®, Makai Pure®), best to add to water (all, but Makai Pure may top this list).

This one doesn't seem to line up with the other sources. μg/g is equal to ppm but they're saying that celtic sea salt is at 1.4 ppm while selina's study says .4 ppm and so does the tamara rubin article. It seems like their harvesting method for Lake Deborah sea salt is good but I haven't been able to find independent testing results for their salt and I don't see any info on their website besides that they test regularly. Lake Deborah is an ancient underground body of water too which has been separated from the sea for a long time meaning that it could have absorbed toxicants from the environment and lost certain solutes which are more readily soluble than the others changing the electrolyte profile like many mined rock salts do.
Celtic sea salt and Himalayan salt could expose your children to too much Lead, Mercury and other heavy metals
Scientists compared a range of ‘gourmet’ salts including Himalayan Pink and Celtic grey salts with table salt and synthetically produced salt, looking at the levels of heavy metals they contained. The results are quite shocking, particularly in their implications for children.

I just want a source of salt from a pure natural water source. Or spring water bottled in lead free glass at this point. Maybe it's cheaper than spending the time researching this.
So she went from 110 to 125. If she also went from age 20 to age 30 I'd say there's nothing remarkable or pathological about that change. If she wants to maintain 110 she will have to go to special lengths like eating a high protein diet, maintaining muscle mass, doing various things to keep her metabolism extra high etc. 110 doesn't come for free lol.

My answer is carbs and denile is what makes woman fat. All the basic stuff, soda pop and everything is some kind of pasta or bread.
Other than that, yeah an antibiotic would be worth a shot if she's acting sick. Antibiotics typically strengthen the body in the short term. That's why they put on them that they interfere with birth control
