      Thanks for your insight. It's interesting that you fixed your thyroid by fixing your mercury poisoning but it seems like there are so many things that can nuke your thyroid, it's so hard to make sure everything is on point. For you it was Mercury, others a food their allergic to, others were simply in a bad and stressful environment. I was thinking of taking a low dose to cover my bases, but am pondering if this is a fools errand and if it would be safer long term to simply find whats impeding thyroid. The Progesterone and Pregnenolone are good ideas but they're overall more expensive than thyroid. I'm wondering if Thyroid is more effective while also being cheaper, the only real drawback would be potential ill health effects which I am unaware of. You gave me much to think about and I appreciate your feedback!

        You're welcome. There was also something I forget to mention. Before I even heard of Ray Peat, I went cold turkey on PUFAs (from another talk by another doctor) and by the time I joined RPF, 4 or 5 years have passed. I realized then the time was ripe for me to test the effect of that long period of not taking PUFAs.

        Not only did I cured my hypoglycemic condition, I tested negative on hypothyroid as well. So, it may be that going cold turkey on PUFAs for at least 4 years would be another way to improve one's thyroid.

            a dentist removed my mercury fillings (eleven in all) and I had a series if mercury chelation over IV with DMPS.

                I have reached the conclusion that a supplement of

                zinc,
                copper,
                selenium,
                iodine (not a megadose, normal dose,)

                is better for the thyroid than thyroid hormone

                This supplement looks excellent

                Taking thyroid hormone never addresses the problem, a chronic low intake of iodine and selenium

                  I agree with you.

                    My body temp is good but my thyroid does not work well. I understand that in my case this is probably due to high cortisol,
                    I have been strict with my diet for 6 months and am going to start a thyroid supplement soon. See what happens.

                        Thyroid for me is essential but not the 1 pill to cure all my woes.

                        Without taking thyroid, my pulse dips to 36 bpm and in the 40s - 50s with office work. On thyroid, my daytime resting is around 70 bpm.

                        I take Cynoplus and Cynomel. I need less in the summer and more in the winter to reach a daytime temperature of 37 C or higher and a reasonable pulse.

                        I hope that one day I can become metabolically healthy enough to stop needing it, but until then, I still have to source it.
