Re: meat for hypothyroidism? - Tyrosine - forgot something...

July 27, 2009

Reading a post to you by someone else I realized I'd skipped over the

part where you mentioned adrenal fatigue but I'd almost written that

tyrosine is also used to make some of the adrenal hormones (epinephrine

and norepinephrine) but I thought maybe that didn't apply, now I see

that it does indeed. Some neurotransmitters involved in feelings of

well-being need tyrosine too, as well as tryptophan so I wouldn't be

surprised if you feel a little depressed too. Perhaps you can try them

in supplement form along with the enzymes and whey if you do not want to

have to eat beef. I do eat beef but not very often so I supplement

because I need them too.

eating meat. Any imput would be a great help.

Fish is a good tyrosine source for those who don't want to eat meat.

I think she said she was eating fish so this sounds like an assimilation

problem.

What about those who have had their

appendix taken out ? Remember when

it used to be said that the appendix

wasn't good for anything anymore ?

Now I have heard said that it contains

the seeds for good bacteria and digestive

enzymes. I've had mine out and slowly

but surely my digestive system has

gotten so bad that my Nutreval test

revealed low levels of many amino

acids, magnesium, maganese, copper,

etc. which shocked me because of

all the magnesium supplements I

have taken over the years ! I have

fibromyalgia, stressed adrenals,

hypothyroid, silent celiac, hypoglycemic,

heavy metal toxicity... I feel like an

episode of " Mystery Diagnosis " !

With this most recent testing all

my symptoms seem to start to make

sense. I have started the amino acid

supplementation and the heavy metal

detox and my skin uticaria on my lip,

eyelids and neck are starting to subside !

I have felt so hopeless for so long and

now I feel a glimmer of hope. I have

suffered for over four years so I

realize these nutritional interventions

won't be an overnight cure and I will

probably never be like I was but I

will take any improvements I can get !!!

I still remember when my son sent me a link about the job of the

appendix, I knew it had to be there for a reason. Personally, I'm of

the opinion that every part of the body is necessary and that if any is

removed then the body has to compensate and things can never be the

same, therefore, every attempt should be made to restore it to health in

all cases that don't include excessive injury or permanent damage.

Doctors would have a fight with me if they tried to remove any part of

me, I think that at this point in my life I'd rather go to my grave

intact than be mutilated, now if I were young with children to raise

maybe I'd think differently.

I think I'm still amazed to find the same clusters of 'dis-ease' in

people as yours. It's like a " syndrome within a syndrome " , as dominoes

that topple the next one over. I myself have hypothyroidism (well, I

was " normal " at one point but haven't been tested again in years, I only

go by how I feel...), stressed adrenals, hypoclycemia and possibly the

beginning of fybro. At one point I also suspected 'wheat intolerance',

won't call it celiac because I lacked some of the symptoms but my Dad

died due to it and so did his mother and a brother and it's hereditary.

I also had a mouthful of mercury amalgams that were not removed the

" proper " way, all I did was take a lot of selenium, garlic and Vit. C

during that time and whatever was already in my tissues is probably

still sitting there. Just tonight was reading again about chelating

with cilantro but the article advices to do it together with chlorella

and I ain't going to shell out another penny for supplements for a good

while.

I recently discovered that most of my problems are related to systemic

fungal infestation (please read this article entitled " The Candida and

Fungus Within Us "

<http://www.thewolfeclinic.com/newsletters/2006/the_fungus_with_in_us.ht\

ml> . I feel I was led by God back to the site www.knowthecause.com

which I'd casually found in '07 but did not pay much attention to at the

time. I located the TV show in a local cable channel and started

watching it, also read " The Fungus Link, Vol. 2 " and started a

low-mycotoxin diet (not exactly the Phase One diet because I found it

extremely difficult to follow 100%). Some of my symptoms have improved

but because I live in a house that has " hidden " mold problems I still

struggle with most of them. I also suspect that I may have other

" uninvited guests " and need to do a good parasite cleanse. Apparently

fungi and parasites should be addressed first before doing chelation or

they tend to get worse after chelating. Something doesn't seem right to

me with that picture so I have to try to find out more, I used to

believe that it was the toxicity that made our bodies attractive to

parasites so I don't understand how " house cleaning " makes things worse.

My guess would be that along with the heavy metals a lot of good

minerals are pulled out to and that makes us more vulnerable.

I've mentioned all that because maybe you should consider looking in

that direction too. IF it's true that the appendix is the starting

point for our good bacteria by having it removed a big chunk of your

immune system and digestive capability (which in turned caused your

deficiencies) was affected and that is more than enough reason for you

to also have fungi and parasites living in you.

Have you tried using " magnesium oil " ? Because it's used transdermally

you don't have to depend on the digestive system for it to be available

to your tissues. Since it's made of concentrated sea water most contain

significant amounts of other minerals as well. And if you don't take

extra iodine consider doing so, despite the fear-monging against it we

are being grossly cheated because not only our bodies need much more

than the RDA but it has to compete against fluoride, bromide and

chloride at the receptor sites, it also pairs up with some heavy metals

like lead and cadmium to carry them out of the body thus creating a

shortage even if we initially had " enough " .

seems very high quality and their website seems very credible and thorough.

iherb carries the NOW brand 500mg/100 capsules for $5.65, good reviews on it

too. I havent tried the Maca yet but will be buying some on my next purchase.

Hi:

Yes MACA does give me a big increase in energy but I'm afraid it is from

increased Testosterone. This is a well known fact and unlike DHEA it doesn't

seem to raise Estrogen levels. So for those low in Testosterone it might be

good, but not for others.
