Charlie said:Feel like I am falling apart over here. An old foot injury that gave me a huge problem a few years ago, is starting to hurt again and I dont think I did anything physically to re-injure it. Also, I have this skin condition on my face, that turns the skin real red, it flakes, and burns a little, its gotten really bad, and spread down to my chest, the cream that usually works to slow it down isnt working, so I am just going to not use the cream and let it ride. My ankles and joints are sore. Completely constipated. I am sure I am missing something else thats wrong but just cant think of it right now. Uggggh. I am in a serious inflammation overload I think. It seems, and I could be wrong, that the further I got away from supplementing thyroid the worse I got. I really hope this thyroid supp will turn things around again.
Gonna finish up this last gallon of milk and then stop the milk and see if that helps.
For instance, Peat discussed in an interview
how once he fell asleep under some red light sources.
Afterwards, he quickly developed a bad case of acne.
He said, after thinking about it,
he knew that it was the increased need for vitamin A
brought on by the improved (from the red light) metabolism.
I think that's what he said,
if I'm recalling correctly.

narouz said:Like, be sure to eat your liver, especially for the A.
And eggs.
Peat seems to recommend eggs strongly to those struggling to get the metabolism cranked.
He notes the probably significant PUFA presence,
but says that filling nutritional deficits trumps perfect PUFA-elimination at first.
narouz said:Charlie, some interesting Peat takes on constipation, Vit. A, thyroid, liver:
"Cream, butter, eggs, and liver are good sources of vitamin A. When people supplement thyroid and eat liver once or twice a week, their acne and dandruff (and many other problems) usually clear up very quickly. It was acne and dandruff that led me into studying the steroids and thyroid, and in the process I found that they were related to constipation and food sensitivity."

Yes, more vitamin A I agree. I was recently talking to clint and he said he gets 4 egg yolks in a day. So yesterday, I ate 4 eggs yolks. I will probably do at least 3 egg yolks a day for a while. Liver, well, I dunno.
Kettlebell, man I so dont want to log my food but it might be a good idea. If I dont improve in a week or two I might consider it. Thank you though for the suggestion as its a really good one. I just dont want the stress of logging. I know, I should stop being a wuss. I definitely think the antibiotic kicked my arse ten different ways. However, I think maybe the tide might be turning so we shall see. Thank you for the well wishes!

Dang narouz, you are coming which such good stuff my head it going to explode! Damn dain bramage!
Yes, that is very interesting and I have definitely increased the A starting yesterday, and today, my red skin problem is noticeably better. Imagine that. I am going to keep pumping in the A via eggs and supplement, maybe I will force myself to get some liver, uggh.
And, I also dramatically increased sugar. Oh, and I changed milk. So if it all works out I wont know what helped the change!!!
Combie said:Charlie, i know its carotene, and i know its starch, but i had some really well steamed potato mash yesterday and the effects were very positive. Greasy skin has cleared up, vision was good this morning too, despite waking up from dream sleep. Definitely getting vit A from it, rather than carotene problems. My gut was extremely flat both immediately after eating and this morning, so no bacteria have had at it clearly

Combie, I am doing all I can to stay away from starches. Peat has made the argument well, and I cannot deny it any longer. Doesnt mean I wont have a potatoe occasionally, but for the most part, starches are out of my life. I do love me some sweet potatoes and butter though!
Kettlebell, thanks so much for doing the math for me! Right on!! So it looks like my vitamin A ingestion is doing well, plus, I do supplement a little bit of it, so I should definitely be good to go. Eggs also have biotin in them which is super good. So I am definitely going to stick with at least 3 eggs a day for now but most likely 4 and see how it goes.
