Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 he is low in the thyroid minerals as they seem to be responsible for cleaving the carotenes into vitamin a i have written to you about the problems with fluoride before i think it will be a combination of leaky gut, digestion/enzyme issues and lack of thyroid minerals the paed is incompedent. > > Hudson gets this from eating carrots and pumpkin in quantities that > are probably more than average but not huge.

This is certainly a suspect cause. I experienced it 30 years ago when having too many carrots. Carol F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 cause you have low thyroid/ low thyroid minerals too carol as i have told you the colour is carotenes, a carotene is two vitamin a molecules back to back and the splitting of carotenes into vitamin a seems to need the thyroid minerals for some reason iodine, zinc, magnesium, (lithium for balance) manganese as per my web page http://tinyurl.com/2csa3 > > > > Hudson gets this from eating carrots and pumpkin in quantities that > > are probably more than average but not huge. > > This is certainly a suspect cause.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 My son also gets the yellow skin - I've always read it is (1) because of the body's inability to convert beta carotene to vitamin A. (2)If the body does convert the beta carotene to vitamin A it will only convert as much as the body needs. Any left over and not converted would cause the yellowing.
