Ray talked about the water a lot... https://bioenergetic.life/?q=water

Worth knowing...

and

peatbot: Peatbot: HCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, is a hormone that is important for the health and intelligence of babies, particularly during pregnancy as it helps in strengthening the placenta. However, there are concerns about its use outside of pregnancy. It is suggested that HCG could promote the growth of hidden cancers, as some cancers produce HCG and it might have similar effects to pregnancy in accelerating cancer growth. Therefore, it is considered risky to use HCG for purposes such as weight loss until it can be shown that it does not promote cancer growth. Additionally, while HCG might help in treating some kinds of hypoglycemia, it should not be used or suppressed mindlessly.

Thanks, interesting.

The problem with this study is that it considers the level of TSH below 8–9 mIU/L "normal"...

@ashou You haven't mentioned your diet, lifestyle, or any additional (previous) conditions & bloodwork.

Ray Peat's approach is about continuously Perceive. Think. Act. Taking a holistic perspective in connecting the dots... yourself or with maybe some external advice.

You seem to focus only on rather limited Act, especially on supplements, so most probably such a (reductionistic) approach will not work.

@CO3 Oops, good to know, thank you for the info!

@Cezar4911 said in Thyroidic sleep:

Have any of you here managed to reach this optimum state?

It's reachable but it requires a lot of systemic and systematic work...
Proper nutrition, movement, and environment; adequate levels of things like Ca, Mg, Zn, ADEK, B-vitamins, lowering cortisol and adrenaline first, etc... Continuously Perceive. Think. Act...

BTW "Because the actions of T3 can be inhibited by many factors, including polyunsaturated fatty acids, reverse T3, and excess thyroxine, the absolute level of T3 can’t be used by itself for diagnosis."

@Uncover said in Open-label trials - how is this allowed?:

The most fun part about it is there is awlays something to learn even when I think im almost done I find a new part of the puzzle

Yeah, I've similar feelings here - it's probably nested like a Russian doll... One can think that he is out of the cage, but then turns out one is still inside a bigger cage...

& @MarkusAllenUSA
Regarding Open-label trials - besides what has been already written - and I agree with, another reason is that they are simply cheaper... And knowing that double-blind study can be sophistically manipulated too, then what's the difference?
