FlatEarth said:post 115751 For those who supplement with thyroid or think that it's a good idea:
How do you justify supplementing thyroid when it results in atrophy of the thyroid gland?
How is it worth it when you are basically trading your thyroid-producing gland for being enslaved to a supplement for the rest of your life?
This is one of the points that made me hesitate to try Thyroid -- not so much the displacement of my own Thyroid gland but the point of supplementing/relying on external Thyroid.
What I hadn't thought about, at the time, was the affect of ageing. As we get older, our bodies get a little more inefficient and worn down because it isn't designed to continually function as it did when it was 10 years old. The body survives long enough to replicate. But if we want it to do more than that, like keep it running at its peak into our 20s, 30s and beyond then it's going to need extra help.
That extra help is supplemental Thyroid (and B-vitamins, red-light, pregnenolone etc). If it means being "enslaved to a supplement for the rest of your life" to have the regenerative and energetic ability of our youthful selves as we continue to get older then so be it.
