@BroJonas Yeah he does high fiber high protein low carb meals and it still spikes well above 200. He’s done that all year and it’s gotten nowhere yet. It seems like his liver is constantly synthesizing and pumping out glucose at a base level to try to keep energy balance

@LucH Thanks. It seems no matter the amount of carb he eats in a balanced meal with fiber his blood sugar always spikes. He follows that sort of approach to manage spikes and gets a lot of protein. But his biggest peak is after fasting all night. His liver is pumping out glucose via gluconeogenesis constantly it seems.

My father (69 yo) was diagnosed type 2 diabetic after struggling for a year with severe weight loss, ravenous appetite, thirst and frequent urination. He finally went to a doc and had super high blood sugar and A1c. It seems like he’s aged 10 years in the past couple years dealing with this.

He’s been on metformin for a year and it’s hardly done anything to his blood sugar. He’s mostly done his best to manage it by reducing his carb intake and following the typical diabetes managing ideas.

His blood sugar is highest in the AM. More than after meals. Which tells me stress hormones are driving this. His blood sugar rarely goes below 200 and it’s been like this for a year now. He’s withering away and it’s scaring him. Docs aren’t doing Jack ofc.

He recently quit smoking finally after getting hit with a gnarly flu. He still drinks coffee all day while eating minimal carbs, which is likely cranking his stress hormones. I’ve explained it to him. He’s even entertained a Denise Minger talk on high carb low fat for diabetes. But he thinks actually trying that for himself would be crazy.

I take thyroid myself but he would not be open to trying something that out of the box. But it could possibly help him. He’s definitely hypo.

Thanks for reading. Would love to hear some ideas on what we can do

@adrn100k Maybe testing again would have a different reading of TSH.

How’s the temp and pulse tho?

@jet9 I don’t think there’s a “best meal”. No one can predict how someone will react to certain foods.

I try to utilize a variety of foods that I digest well. I try to do 3 to 4 times carbs to protein in a given meal to stay on the carb train and not dip into the stress hormones too much.

@MuleMan I just go by Peat’s word, not doing more than that within an hour.

But I think NDT absorbs differently and might be ok to do bigger doses. I would just hate to overload the liver and have it dump what it perceives as excess t3. But I think you would be able to tell if this is happening or not

@BeamsOfEnergy I take cynoplus and add cynomel on occasion.

I divide the 2 grains throughout the day and have some with every meal. It’s kinda annoying but that’s what I do.

40mg with breakfast, 27mg with lunch, and 40mg with dinner. Should be around 2 grains that way.

I just try to have each dose have less than 10mcg of t3.

That’s the only way I figured how to do it. If someone has other methods I’d like to know

I like the one where a diabetic friend was losing his toes to gangrene and would heal when given thyroid. When he’d forget to take it it would come back. And this back and forth happened a few times.

I finally got my waking temp to hit 97.8 taking 2 grains of cynoplus.

I’d recommend maybe trying cynoplus instead. Or maybe it just takes a while for you to adjust to the dose. Broda Barnes said it can take a couple months

@BearWithMe Apparently xylitol helps bust streptococcal biofilms

@LetTheRedeemed I ordered from them after you recommended me.

We paid with Zelle and it came in within a month. No complaints here

Was it Haidut that made a post about anger and aggression increasing when brain energy dips below a certain point. And high serotonin playing a major role in a loss of ATP in neurons

Jay’s article has been the most helpful for me to understand

I believe in reincarnation personally. I have memories that I believe are my soul picking my parents and being shot into this world.

But just like any other belief that’s just the extent. It would be arrogant for anyone to say they know for sure. Nobody knows. It’s the biggest question of mankind.

Whatever belief you hold, hopefully it’s reassuring. I don’t think it’s possible for there to just be blank darkness afterwards. How can there be dark or nothingness if there’s no longer a brain or eyes to perceive it?

I think Ray talked about joining the neutrino sea after death

I would just relax and trust that your body will know what to do with it. Probably won’t digest much of it and if you do your liver will figure out the right things to do with it

@Kilgore I ate it as a bulk of my diet for 3 and half years and it wasn’t magic. Had diarrhea often. Really no reason for me to have stuck with it that long besides Aajonus’s spell and charm lol. Live and learn

@guy I like dates, pineapple, banana, raisins, clementines. I’ve been doing a pineapple juice and mix some other darker juice like grape, cherry, or pomegranate in it.

Honestly none of that is very Peaty, the quality sucks and the juice has ascorbic acid, but that’s what I can afford and it still beats having all my carbs in starches (for me)

@ThinPicking He just said he had to take it down. But I’ll call it censorship.

So Danny’s “Demystifying thyroid supplementation” article has been taken down. And I realize his bio energetic basics on thyroid is down as well as all the older bio energetic helpline videos are gone too.

Feels like such a loss but I hope he keeps fighting and putting this knowledge out there somehow.

That article was so great

@Hollowed I’ve brought a couple bottles flying across the border before. No issues.

I’d imagine things get suspicious the more you carry
