RE: Hiatal hernia gastritis and duodenitis
@retard Have you ever had heart palpitations?
Increasing intake of salt and electrolytes and taking progesterone helped me with similar digestive issues. I've heard some people have good results from famotidine and taurine as well.

RE: Endotoxin Inflammation Stack
Thought I should post a brief update since this thread has gotten some more attention lately: The symptoms I was dealing with have greatly improved with some diet and lifestyle changes. I've reduced my zinc supplementation to a more standard 15mg a day, but I still feel 120mg/day was beneficial as a short-term loading dose. I do get plenty of copper and manganese in my diet from regular shellfish consumption, and I've started using molasses as well. If anyone is interested, the current stack I'm running is a standard B-complex, 300mg thiamine HCL, 8000IU vitamin D, Thorne's vitamin K formula, 15mg zinc citrate, and T3/T4, progesterone, pregnenolone, and DHEA rarely as needed

Low waking temp on thyroid
I've been on Cynomel for a few weeks and increased the dosage up to the equivalent of 4 grains. My energy levels are great, and I feel warm throughout the day. However, when I first wake up my temps are still very low until a while after I have food and coffee, usually 97.4F or below. Seems strange that this is the only symptom not improving. Anyone else had this experience?

RE: What causes cloudy urine?
This used to happen to me pretty frequently. In my case it was almost certainly an electrolyte issue worsened by stress. I would increase salt intake and check vitamin D. Progest-E could be worth looking into also

RE: PUFA & weight loss
The standard answer people give is that the liver can detox them through glucuronidation, if you consume enough gelatin, protein, and carbohydrate
But Peat also mentioned just having a high metabolic rate so they clear from your system quickly mitigates the damage. Vitamin E, aspirin, and of course thyroid might help too, I'd imagine. With these precautions I wouldn't worry too much about the negative effects of fat loss unless it actually makes you feel bad
