Guest guest Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 Thanks, Eileen -- very interesting article. The overproduction of adrenaline to compensate for our thyroid not working totally makes sense. This would also explain that while most of us don't have adrenal disorders, there seems to be something going on with our adrenaline. I'm going to research more on TRH, which he lists as the culprit in causing palpitations and other heart problems. I did just a quick search on alkalosis which he lists as a problem that excess TRH can cause... and bingo -- this finally explains SO much that was going on when I was diagnosed in the hospital that the doctors could not figure out. Low potassium, arrhythmias, electrolyte imbalance... basically, I had alkalosis.. I think I'm going to e-mail my doctor. He also says that eating enough salt can lower excess adrenalin and help sleep.. keep some pretzels by your bed?? Here's the link again, I had trouble with the last one - http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/ray-peat.htm > Debbie, someone recently posted a link of Shomon's interview with Dr. > Ray Peat.
