When I went too low in fat and protein I didn't sleep for a few months.

Try casein powder before bed. Also anything that reduces cortisol and adrenaline should help with frequent urination. Magnesium is helpful for sleep in general.

actually now i m in low fat high carb diet.... but the most important thing for me is low energy.... that's why i m trying to lift weights etc for workout... i also grounding and I'm out in the sun (shade) for about 2.5-3 hours per day...
Sun helps a lot i can feel the difference...

Fine.
As long you consume minimum 20 % fat and optimal protein ratio to weight, it's OK.
For fats:
45 % SFA (coconut, butter, meat preferable free range)
45 % MUFA: e.g. avocado, olive oil (only for veggies), free range poultry, duck, etc.
10 % PUFA, but no need to target 10 gr every day. I target 1.5 w3 et 6 gr w6. original, not processed.
See Kate Deering for useful info on energy metabolism.

Eating enough fat and protein is important. Fats can act as "buffers" in the blood to keep the sugar level stable. Also I know the Peatsphere is generally anti-starch but I personally tend to find my blood sugar is more stable with a higher starch diet.

@jhp said in Question about Cyproheptadine:

i'd be interested in hearing more about this.

I have no info in the form of a book or PDF for sophrology. But well to introduce the practice to people who do not really know EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). For breathing technique see beneath but I’m not sure it’s going to help in asthma, except this pathology is quite bound to the nervous system. Without speaking about the inflamed lungs (selenium in nebulizer, not in a spray, could help, according to Dr. Klinghardt).
When your immune system reacts inappropriately, in front of an intruder (allergen, badly or indigestive macromolecule, for example) it sends the big artillery to neutralize the intruder, often accompanied by an inflammatory response, if so that there is an intruder to locate / to fight. Then we apply conventional techniques: medical imaging and painkillers, for example. (I simplify excessively for the clarity of the presentation).
You do not learn anything when I’m telling you that traditional European medicine and across the Atlantic, they focus mainly on symptoms. However, this medicine is especially effective in the event of a pathology with acute crisis (heart attack, fractured member, etc.). In the case of a PR or SPA "the conventional therapists" are often disarmed ... "Chinese medicine" is more efficient when it comes to rebalancing energy flows, homeostasis...
SPA = Syndrome de polyarthrite ankylosante: PR = polyarthrite rhumatismale.
*) Concrete example:
Take an image to view the problem:
1 ° Cause of the problem (causing pain or problem)
2 ° Zzzz… (=> disturbed energy system).
=> Image of a blurred TV making Zzzz (bad reception: fog).
3 ° Pathology (pain for example)
Traditional medicine will try to relieve pathology by "treating" the cause (stress for example). It will work quite often, but the evil will not be eradicated in a structural / deep way. It tapped / hided itself, will put itself on the backstil, until the next episode where you will have pulled too much on the rope ...
As long as you do not change the behavior and especially evacuate the Zzzz, a disturbing element, the problem will often persist ...
Otherwise expressed, if you only care about the phase 1 of the process (cause) and the phase 3 (pathology), you will not progress or not very well because the disturbing element will be still present (Zzzz).
*) Chinese medicine
“More than 5,000 years ago, the Chinese “people” discovered a system of energy circuits that crosses the body. Oriental medicine and acupuncture, acupressure and several other healing techniques are based on these energetically fluxes, or meridian circuits.
This energy circulates in the body and is invisible to the naked eye. We cannot see it without a high-tech equipment. By analogy, you do not see the energy broadcast in a television either. You know, however, that it exists, thanks to its effects. Sounds and images are proof that this energy flow exists”.

=> Cardiac coherence - Relaxation session
We inspire on 5", rather slowly. Then we expire on 5".
Inspire by the nose and expires complete by the mouth. We do not inspire too quickly otherwise we will block / pause at the 4th time (1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5) (we do not count because we follow the sinusoidal graph). We expire well, thoroughly! If the head turns, you shorten the session and start again 3 hours later. 3 x 5’ a day. So it's a rhythm to take and it can be learned, it's like everything...

When people are hypothyroid they run high on adrenaline. Cortisol too but cortisol is more like a mediator of sorts, or a facilitator. Most of the unpleasant symptoms are related to adrenaline. Caffeine can also raise adrenaline. In someone who's already adrenaline dominant (due to hypothyroidism) caffeine may be problematic.

I recommend the following 1) con leche from now on. Coffee, with equal parts of milk (preferably whole milk), will always make the caffeine slightly more tolerable. For one milk has a little carbohydrate in it, but it also come with saturated fat, which will slow the absorption. 2) have some salty gelatinous soup. Oxtail soup is a good and classic choice for a peater. I in fact have it for dinner most nights of the week. The combination of gelatin and salt will powerfully lower adrenaline. 3) carrot salad and/or lots of cooked white mushrooms. Stimulating bowel transit and introducing antiseptic fibers to the intestine will reduce endotoxin which powerfully burns through the liver's glycogen holding abilities. More glycogen = steady stream of glucose = less free fatty acids and adrenaline. 4) Consider a liver "defatting" protocol. This can be expensive, but it will do wonders for your health if you actually need it. High dose K2 (>45mgs), glycine, TUDCA, and choline. Not to mention the caffeine helps too. I'd run it daily for about 60 days. 5) Supplemental progesterone can be an excellent tool to crush adrenaline when you're in a pinch or if you're about to sleep. Usually 12-14 drops of Progest-E will kill adrenaline in it's track. 6) Magnesium can be helpful against adrenaline, also just in general for hypothyroid people who lose it easily. Boiled leafy greens like kale is a good choice. 7) Last but not least, getting on thyroid replacement will modulate adrenaline back into a healthy range. But this can take a while, because finding the right dose of thyroid is tricky for a lot of people. It can also initially sensitize yourself to adrenaline even more, making the above suggestions all the more important.
