I don't have an answer but there's another article author who cited two sources for that same info, Encyclopedia Brittanica book of the year 1946 and Boyce, James K. “Of coconuts and kings: the political economy of an export crop.” Development and Change 23.4 (1992): 1-25.

Found that at the bottom of this article: https://physicalculturestudy.com/2014/12/04/why-coconut-oil-isnt-fit-for-pigs/

I wonder if the info has been scrubbed, as other info has been. Personally i have my doubts about that but you never know ..

@FTMarinetti they can lower it a lot like -30% -40% i think, and considering how often theyre thrown at people and with the perspective of "cholesterol = bad" would assume a lot of that group are kept on them to ensure its kept low and away from "high" cholesterol what they see as "healthier", eg in uk for a healthy person they see <200 as good and for an at risk person 150. ironically they see the cutoff point for dropping below good levels by that study as a ceiling level, inverse. i know someone who got prescribed statins with only a mild elevation and no heart problems
then for the people that arent on more medications in that group indicated by the lower cholesterol, whatever other reason is causing their low cholesterol inducing poorer health (e.g cholesterol lowered in sepsis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3940695/)

for the other side maybe cholesterol as a protective molecule makes up for some of the effects of lack of thyroid to a point? (e.g preventing cancer and death by infections) , but over that the thyroid / hormones might get too low regardless

@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.

I had a work friend several years ago who had endometriosis so bad the doctor said she'd never give birth. She left for a different job but surprised me at work later on that she had conceived! She was using 100mg Prometrium, which is sort of amazing because it has tons of junk like peanut oil and titanium oxide but the progesterone itself was still that powerful. She implied she used it vaginally but I was caught off guard about the whole thing and didn't ask for certain.

I have phimosis, but over the last few years (of Peating, although that could be coincidence), it has gotten better. I do not get hurt so easily during sex. But that was after many times of having the foreskin basically get painfully stuck down on the shaft during sex, which probably stretched it out.

@max thanks for that, very interesting.

There is a difference between taking 1mg and 20mg, but I might go for 20mg if I was going through some procedure where melatonin is protective, and there is evidence for that in for instance radiation therapy.
