I can drink only about 3 cups of very strong coffee daily. After that it starts affecting my sleep quality.

I have read that if coffee impacts your sleep quality it is a sign of a glycogen depleted liver.

Not sure about this. I can easily sleep with coffee, no problem. But sleep quality seems universally affected.

Methods: In the first part of the study, six volunteers drank either decaffeinated or regular coffee in a double-blind fashion on one day, and the alternate beverage 7 days later. Sleep parameters were assessed by actigraphy. In the second part of the study, the subjects again drank either decaffeinated or regular coffee, and they then collected urine every 3 h for quantitation of 6-sulphoxymelatonin (6-SMT), the main metabolite of melatonin in the urine.

Results: We found that drinking regular caffeinated coffee, compared to decaffeinated coffee, caused a decrease in the total amount of sleep and quality of sleep, and an increase in the length of time of sleep induction. Caffeinated coffee caused a decrease in 6-SMT excretion throughout the following night.

Conclusions: The results of our study confirm the widely held belief that coffee consumption interferes with sleep quantity and quality. In addition, we found that the consumption of caffeine decreases 6-SMT excretion. Individuals who suffer from sleep abnormalities should avoid caffeinated coffee during the evening hours.

We found that smaller VPP was associated with higher cumulative lifetime coffee consumption. Participants who consumed more than 60 cup-years of coffee had VPPs that were smaller by about 20% than individuals who consumed less than 60 cup-years of coffee. The VPP mediated the association between lifetime coffee consumption and sleep efficiency and quality.

Conclusions
Our findings suggest that high lifetime coffee consumption may reduce VPP, and that this reduction in VPP may impair the quality of sleep in late life.

For those familiar with Barnes, is it known if these patients continued on thyroid indefinitely, after recovering from their deficient state?

I'm always curious what would happen if someone who recovered to a healthy and more productive state than they had prior, and take on more responsibilities and commitments, and then find for some reason they have to go off of thyroid, if they maintain the new found health or are back to the original?

you might want to cool off a little bit with posting a bunch of claims that are dangerous. Animal studies have shown a moderate overdose can cause liver cancer. 1mg per day safe dose. That's what Ray said. Not that hard to find out what Ray said about Biotin. He saw good things happen with it and then the animal studies in the 50's about liver cancer seemed to have spooked him. So the studies must have been pretty legit I am guessing.

@DavidPS thanks I sent you a request .

@LucH how do you "ration,[and] weaken then bludgeon the intruders who do not live in symbiosis"? i just got some of the now foods enteric coated oregano oil softgels, not taken any yet, definitely want to avoid "targeted bacteria will transmit the information to other bacteria to make them genetically evolved and get the capacity to survive to a new environment".
