Medicine should probably be closer to home than it is.

Agreed.

But where's home. Exactly.

The heart. IME, medicine is better insourced than outsourced.

@BroJonas, my strategy was lots of simple sugar, salt and dairy, and my macro split was 60C/20P/20F. My diet consisted of fruit juice (mostly hot pear cider), fruit molasses, filtered honey, maple syrup, raw sugar, raw milk/shakes, crustless no bake cheesecake (mild yogurt strained until as thick as quark with Canadian prairie blossom honey, vanilla and salt), wildflower honey & vanilla bean ice cream, omelettes, crustless quiche, white chocolate & cinnamon covered sukkari dates, seared sea scallops and steamed crab with tupelo honey butter.

@scamp, my temp averages 98.2°F/36.8°C first thing in the morning and rises to around 99°F/37.2°C by midday, my pulse rate averages in the upper 80s and my extremities, including my nose and ears, are warm. It’s important to take the latter two into account because adrenaline can raise our temp, leading us to think our thyroid function is better than it actually is. It can take time to see an improvement in temps when first supplementing thyroid—thyroid may even lower temps (and cause fatigue/relaxation) initially if the person was running on stress hormones prior to supplementation—and for some like myself, supplementing is not enough. It took a specific diet and macro ratio to get my temps and pulse rate up, since I was coming from a very sick state.

My favorites are Symbiosis and Genuine Coconut:

Next best are Harmless Harvest, 365 by Whole Foods Market fair trade and Trader Joe’s single origin, basically, coconut water sourced from Thai Nam Hom coconuts—I find it to be the sweetest and most fragrant variety I’ve tried:

@odiniccold, I use this sunscreen from Suntribe when mountain climbing and the company ships worldwide:

https://suntribesunscreen.com/product/suntribe-natural-zinc-sunscreen-face-sport-spf30/

It comes in both Original White and a tinted version called Mud Tint—it’s tinted with organic cocoa powder. For reference, I’m extremely fair and the Original White is still slightly visible on my skin so if you have any bit of a tan and don’t care for the Casper look, you may want to go with the tinted version if you decide to try it.
