Just rub some magnesium oil on you to get some GABA action going. Avoid stimulants or anything that's adrenaline promoting.

If you've always had them; and not seen much change even when starting Peating, sleeping better, generally becoming healthier, etc etc then the unfortunate cause is likely a simple lack of development/projection of the maxilla which supports the skin underneath. Basically your facial bones did not develop enough due to environmental factors (parents diet, your diet growing up, environmental toxins, etc). Focus on the fat soluble vitamins particularly K2, and "mewing", and likely over the course of multiple years you will see improvement.

@Lucius-de-Geer did anything in your physical exercise change? As soon as I took a desk job everything backed up. I believe simple body movement is a big part of stimulating the bowels to actually move. a short jog and some salty water works wonders.

@TopicalsOnBalls I had tge same issue. Its the supplements. Especially k2. Cut down supplements for a few days and see. If not then look somewhere else.

@FTMarinetti said in Thyroid lab results: I was considering cyproheptadine but I'd need to go to France to get it without prescription. Many French pharmacies sell it online, if you're in the EU it might be worth trying.

@Chad-Maxwell Cheap amazon brand made a difference for me in terms of thinking and being less clumsy I would try raising energy and nutrition first before citrus pectin possibly

Vitamin e and sun

@drain-gang ive used it 2 1/2 years. The problem every batch has a different amount of hormones hard to dose. And some lab test with another brand showed horrible t3:t4 ratio 1:10 IIRC. For people with serious conditions like hashimoto, hypothyriod not good. for the average joe who just need a little thyroid boost worth a try

@SpicyPeater it's clearly coke

@Him Hi, Yes I've already made these adjustments, Im frustrated as quite a few of the more prominent suggestions Ray made dont seem to have moved the needle on my health significantly. Most of Ray's advice is context-specific i.e. works when applied in proper circumstances... e.g. in the right order... Id say the things I've observed a strong positive health outcome with so far are the carrot salad and magnesium glycinate Good choices, both are Peat-approved. For me, the following advice helped me most to move from a low energy, low mood, and IBS-D/acid-reflux state (messed keto diet) to a much better (peatful) situation. Pro-Thyroid foods: milk/cheese, eggs, beef, oysters, refined coconut oil; fresh orange juice, coffee (source of magnesium, vit. B1, and caffeine) & honey/sucrose/milk; salt, seafood: sole, whitefish, turbot, scallops, lobster, shrimp, and squid. Fruits… | DHEA/pregnenolone, collagen, nicotinamide. Pro-Mitochondrial respiration: Aspirin, PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone), Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), CO2 bag-breathing, creatine, BCAAs + Tyrosine, taurine, carnosine; Urolithin A, apigenin, blueberries/OJ; Calcium, Potassium, Copper, salt, Mg, Selenium, Zn; vitamins B, C, D3, A + E, K2; foods containing caffeic or stearic acids; inosine; Boswellia, Cordyceps. Red light. Yoga… Normalizing cortisol by firstly getting the inflammation and stress down, then by adding (in afternoons) vitamins B6-P5P, B3+B1, C, A+E, D3+K2, Ca, Zn, Mg, inosine, theanine, apigenin, 5-6mg of DHEA, Aspirin, Royal jelly, icariin, emodin, Tulsi; gelatin, palmitic acid, coffee, ~pomegranate, honey/milk/OJ; yoga, CO2… Anti-serotonin: "The safest that I know of would be theanine, BCAA + tyrosine, caffeine, and a good deal of niacinamide. P5P is dopaminergic, so that would make it anti-serotonin as well. I think the combination of theanine, BCAA, and tyrosine has some serious potential as an anti-serotonin tool organism-wide and as such helpful in issues like weight management, immune system support, libido, and mood." ~haidut | Plus: aspirin, inosine, creatine, collagen, magnesium, thyroids (^T3), and CBG (as a 5-HT1A antagonist). Proper calcium to phosphate ratio in the diet: cutting out meat, beans, nuts, and possibly all rice including white while also supplementing eggshell or bone grinds, drinking milk, and eating ice cream… “Carbon dioxide (CO2), glycine, GABA, saturated fatty acids (for example, Nanji, et al., 1997), vitamin K, coenzyme Q10, niacinamide, magnesium, red light, thyroid hormone, progesterone, testosterone, and pregnenolone are factors that can be increased to protect against inappropriate cellular excitation.” GABA "agonists" should lower adrenaline. Since glycine, taurine, and niacinamide are all GABA "agonists" they all have studies showing lower adrenaline when consuming them. It also decreases with the help of salt, sugar/OJ, milk, sunlight… Plus inosine, theanine, ~apigenin, Tulsi, antihistamines, CBD/CBG, and forest bathing. Adrenaline increases with stress, heat, HIIT/IF/fear/excitement, and caffeine taken in a fasting state… Anti-Endotoxins: activated charcoal; aspirin, antihistamines, Cyproheptadine & antibiotics, D3/sunlight. | Activated charcoal is great at lowering gut serotonin… sunshine/sun-bathing, walking/hiking in nature, etc. Briefly: RP nutrition has about 100-250 grams of carbs, 75 g of proteins, ~50 g of fat; ~40/35/25% ratio… The list above has been based on suggestions of Ray or his closest mentees... I did those in a step-by-step way with a lot of trial and error... Plus intense learning of Ray''s holistic approach to human biology. BTW peatarians also suggested Saccharomyces boulardii for gut issues... My previous experience with doctors with issues like this have been fruitless and its very inconvenient This is unfortunate, it's very hard to find a wise doctor... If you wanna to get peatarian advice you can ask Danny Roddy or Hans Amato online...

@SpicyPeater It’s fine lol, I think Peat said 1mg K2 per 325mg aspirin is a good amount, also glycine from gelatin powder/ gelatinous bone broth is good when taking aspirin. If you’re doing both of those aspirin is extremely safe. Even if you aren’t, aspirin is still very safe to take

I had heard a few drops on the testicles was good for boosting T... is this advisable?

I'd imagine that it all depends on what's causing/caused the back pain to begin with. Are you able to provide any detail? Location of pain, injury type, cause of pain e.g. lifting etc etc

@Hugh I have tried topical application as well on the scalp and wrists without much effect

This thread might be helpful

@Sippy said in Melasma: Does anyone have experience with melasma? Is it always caused by estrogen and low thyroid? Should it go away once estrogen is lowered and thyroid is working well? Can topical progesterone make it worse? I developed some on my upper lip over the past couple years and can't seem to find much solid info on it. Using topical Niacinamide daily, supplementing thyroid and have lowered estrogen. Has anyone used topical melatonin? I had it Pretty badly Maybe for a year or two, when I was at my sickest alongside of periocular dermatitis as well Oh And milia. Can I pinpoint to what caused it? No, because I had high prolactin, high cortisol, high estrogen, and low progesterone at the time I was also under nourished with very low blood sugar But I did want to say that it completely resolved on its own with no supplements, and no allopathic interventions And it’s never come back
