    Children Conceived In Winter Have Much Higher Risk Of Autism

    Not sure why the study considers January to May to be winter months, but this is yet another study that links maternal metabolism (and serotonin) to autism. The official explanation is increased flu infection and lower vitamin D levels in the winter. While these may be contributing factors, I...

    Adrenal Fatigue Real Or Fake?

    How important are our adrenal glands to energy production truly? Come across so many articles which mention their significance. It seems as if Peat strongly disagrees with that notion. I know the guy is unparalleled in terms of knowledge but what are some other opinions on this matter?

    Androsterone - The Forgotten But Potent Thyroid Mimetic

    Androsterone is one of the 5-AR derived androgens and is a downstream metabolite of DHT. While modern medicine has almost completely forgotten about it, androsterone was well-known and widely used in the 1950s and 1960s under the commercial name Atromid - the most potent cholesterol and...

    Hypothyroidism Dramatically Increases Estrogen Synthesis

    I posted a study some time ago showing the effects of thyroid hormone on synthesis/metabolism of various steroids. Hyperthyroidism increased androgen production several-fold, but the effects on estrogen synthesis were less clear. This study shows that hypothyroidism increases estrogen...

    Hypothyroidism (Cortisol, Prolactin And Adrenal Hyperactivity) Causes Balding

    I wanted to post this as quite a few people have raised points about androgens causing hair loss. The so-called "male pattern baldness" (MPB) exists in women as well and is in fact quite common in older women (as it is in men) since 50%+ of older women have some stage of baldness as well. Unless...

    CFS Is Likely Hypometabolism Triggered By Environmental Stress

    Ray has discussed his views on the so-called "chronic fatigue syndrome" (CFS) in many interviews and some of his articles.

    The Myth Of Pregnenolone Steal

    I think this is a very persistent myth and one that is reigning supreme on all forums except this one. Even here, we occasionally get challenged and statements referring to this flawed idea. Here is something that will hopefully clarify why the steroid "steal" is a flawed idea. Among the more...

    Hypothyroid Recovery Primer

    I've been having some conversations with Diokine, who's been a huge help to me, and he made this layout, which I think can benefit some people who are trapped in a cycle of hypothyroidism, high cortisol, adrenaline, serotonin, histamine, and estrogen. "The effects of unmitigated stress in the...

    Sibo (hypothyroidism) May Be A Major Cause Of Stunting In Children

    Considering that SIBO is a well-known symptoms of hypothyroidism due to low levels of gastric acid, this study basically says that about 27% of the studied children in poor areas were hypothyroid by age 1.

    Do You Have A Study Showing Lack Of Efficacy Of Lab Testing For Hypothyroidism?

    Struggling with explaining this to people. They immediately get a lab test showing "normal" thyroid. But yet are 35c temp and low HR and show all sorts of symptoms.

    Both Types Of Diabetes Are Caused By The Same Mechanism

    Ray has written on the similarities between type I and type II diabetes and how they are really the same disease, but of different severity. Modern medicine claimed for years that the two types are fundamentally different, and type I is an auto-immune condition. This article claims scientists in...

    L-Carnitine Is Anti-thyroid
