I've been taking the tiniest crumb possible of cynoplus for 4 weeks now (maybe 1/16th of a pill?). No T3 yet.
The problem is my pulse goes way up, like usually around 90 - 100, sometimes up to 120, but my temps do not rise. Temps stay in the 95's in the mornings and 96's during the day. The high pulse doesn't usually bother me (coming from a lifetime of pulse around 50, it feels pretty good!) I've searched the forum for info on this, but have only found the opposite issue -- it seems it's much more common for people to have their temps rise but the pulse lags.
So, after finding no info on this, I decided to email Dr. Peat . And he responded the same day!
So I'm sharing his response:
RP: "Do you have seafood regularly? A deficiency of selenium can cause odd responses to thyroxin. Have you had your vitamin D and cholesterol measured? Low cholesterol can limit the production of progesterone and DHEA in response to thyroid. Have you tried a pregnenolone supplement? Those steroids tend to support a bigger, slower heartbeat."
I do eat lots of shellfish -- oysters/shrimp/crabs/crawfish pretty much every day. On the odd day that I don't have it, I take a selenium supplement. So that's out.
I do take pregnenolone and Progest-E, and just started 5mg DHEA. So I guess that's out, too.
I have not had my vitamin D or cholesterol measured. Time for some labwork!
