My Weight Loss Secret - TRH/T3/T4 Hormonal Tweaking

Thank you so very much OP, I have a couple of health issues that point towards hormone imbalances, and another which prevents adequate exercise (realted?) so I very much appreciate this thread. Thank you for your goodwill in sharing this information with us.

Increased metabolism will cause your body to age faster.
There seems to be a downside to every diet.

Mine is slow anyways, needs a little boost, good to keep in mind though.

Hi OP will this work for those of us who have an underactive thyroid? I take 100 mcg of thyroxin a day.

Evidence today points to just that - increased metabolism equals shortened lifespans. However that may be in dispute itself and the whole picture is not fully understood.

Lets look at Cholesterol. North Americans are programmed to fear it, and look for the good Cholesterol. But the reality is it is not a complete story!!

The Inuit with their Walrus blubber diets would routinely experience cholesteral levels up to 500, yet experienced no heart disease.

Yet young vietname vets coming back from vietnam who utilized chlorination tablets to purify their water had completely blocked arteries even at a young age.

The reality was the cholesteral was healing the scarring caused by the chlorine in the water consumption and forming layer after layer onto the scared arterial walls. So of course North Americans are taught to starve their cholesterol when the real culprit is chlorinated water being consumed and bathed in!!

So I would suspect that there is more to the relationship of metabolism and longevity.

Russians were successful in increasing the lifespans of mice by 50%. Their 'secret' ingredient - green crapapples. Apples especially tart ones have high levels of polyphenols. Polyphenols relengthen teleomeres, and increase your hayflick limit. The longer your hayflick limit the longer you can go through full cell division (aka you live longer)...

I cannot perscribe any medication or advice to a person as the high priests of big pharma (doctors) have it all locked up.

However if I was experiencing low thyroid function or already on a medication I would NOT take a doctors perscription until I had first exhausted the natural rememedies daily. If I was already on it I would supplement with iodine and Vitamin C and then in a few weeks begin weaning myself off the medication. If I felt great then I could simply inform my doctor I no longer need it (basically telling him to get lost and peddle Big Pharma's crap to someone else). If I didn't get better because my thyroid had already been cooked from radioactive iodine inhalation from living near a nuclear power plant (100 kms) - I would have to stay on it. Again I witnessed my X's father successfully treat his with some bladderwack, and I experienced greatly increased energy from iodine consumption, so I would go that route for a while first.

That's why they give out iodine in a radioactive release. Because everybody is deficient usually and their bodies are so hungry for it it will store the iodine they breathe through the air! So they fill the iodine receptors (all in the thyroid) with good iodine so it will not uptake the radioactive Iodine-131.

Myself I don't see doctors - none. I don't goto dentists either. My teeth are white clean and plaque free, because I know how keep them clean! I take good care of myself and keep my immune system strong! My protocol - 10,000 vitamin D a day, and 2 teaspoons minimum of Cinnamon. It works! Its potent combined with natural cheap foods like porridge and cabbage (LOADED in nutrients) your body is your own best friend :)

so if they live 50% longer, you're telling me the lifespan in russia is what? 160-ish yrs? we live about 75-100yrs. its a given. if you're 75+ you're going to die in the soon to near future. You might get past 100, but you might get past 100 smoking a pack a day your whole life with horrible lifestyle habits. if there was a magical cure to death, people would be flocking to it in droves.

No if you actually read the sentence they increased the lifespan of MICE by 50% by feeding them tart crap apples through their entire life! duh!

If you study the diet of the longest recorded lifespan of anyone who ever lived that of Jeanne Calment - 122 years she ingested large amounts of dark Chocolate and survived a hip replacement at 117 years. But what people do not realized is on a ORAC chart dark chocolate is HIGH up their with acai berries for its anti-oxidant qualities. In fact its 10x more potent of an anti-oxidant than blueberries. The second big treatment was her rich consumption of olive oil, which is loaded in Vitamin E, another anti-oxidant. She reached full potentiation IMHO of her hayflick limit. However going farther is going to take more than chocolate and olive oil. Only in 40 years or so are we going to see the results of the new protocols some people are utilizing such as reduced calorie diets, and GHr supplementation or DHEA.

Oh, too bad you aren´t registered - you deserve +Karma for this thread. Thank-you for sharing!

Great info/Great thread - Bookmarked!

OK, I got one for you. Let´s say you were 64 years old female, who has been taking Synthyroid for 20 years. What would you do then?

Oh, I forgot to mention that you had one half of your Thyroid removed. Could you still switch to natural remedies in that case?

If I was a 64 year old female who has been taking Synthyroid for 20 years I would still do a Vitamin C / Iodine supplementation. Even if it doesn't increase T3/T4 production, it would push out a lifetime of heavy metal ingestion, as the iodine would push out the halides that accumulate in the body. The second is I would start taking a couple teaspoons of cinnamon a day to remove yeast and fungal infections and as the number one method of cleaning a fouled large colon. Either way I would know I would feel much better from even the detoxification I would get from getting out the nasty halides like fluoride, chlorides, and bromide that is found in our toothpaste, water, and bread. I do know that it would work at least some and I could look at getting off the Synthyroid starting in a month.

Secondly I would goto a McGavins bread basket and buy a quart of cold pressed flax oil, and ingest with some cottage cheese (the Budwig protocol) as it would cause a cell recharge as the Budwig Protocol had worked so effectively against.

The final thing I would do is eat a little raw cabbage a day, or some porridge from time time and permanently remove the following from my diet.

NO DIET POP - NEVER. IT INCREASES OBESEITY BY DISRUPTING INSULIN (Serious!) GOOGLE 'My Aspartame Experiment'

NO PROCESSED SALAD DRESSINGS / soups / chilis - THE MSG IS POISON.
Goto video.google.com and type in 'Food From the Matrix' Listen to Dr Russel Blaylocks advice - its sage and scientifically documented.

REDUCE YOUR PROCESSED SUGAR INTAKE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

Finally I would COMMIT to EXCERCISE no matter HOW OLD I WAS. Doing what I could. It works as it would increase DHEA, and other beneficial hormones that would reactivate the anti-aging.

Everyone always asks whats the best method of ingesting Cinnamon - I found mixing it in yogurt, or porridge the best. Another that is good is in your protein shake. I wrote another anecdotal paper on the cognitive effects of cinnamon from the coumarin that is in it.

Good luck!

Thanks for posting this. I almost couldn't believe it when I read your post - talk about synchronicity!

I recently started a similar regimen hoping to jump start some weight loss and improve my health. Mostly I want to feel my best as often as possible. That's my main health goal.

I'm taking kelp supplements for the iodine - 650 micrograms twice a day. I also take a tablespoon of virgin coconut oil and a tablespooon of organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar in a glass of water. My energy is through the roof and I'm sleeping better at night. I've been doing this for only about a week and a half. I added these to my old regimen of magnesium oil, 5000 IUs of vitamin D daily, and my multivitamins.

I found once adding the kelp, coconut oil, and ACV that I was having flu-like symptoms off and on (a cleanse reaction?) which went away when I added some milk thistle and a good probiotic.

I took a base weight on 10/1 and have decided to give it a month before I follow up with the scale so as not to become unduly discouraged. My clothes fit better already so I believe it is working.

Thats a nice mix. I remember I was working the one job and a co-worker was heavy into his drugs. Was was interesting is he could always pass his blood test because he ingested quite a bit of vinegar prior. And he also noted the weight would just FLY OFF!!

I have a bottle of kelp but its so fricking nasty to eat I have to eat it raw. I find in water it smells so foul!! The Kelp sheets you buy are actually tasty as is too.

I'm a GIANT fan of the Vitamin D also, if you google the Vitamin D council you'll find their site if anyone disputes that taking that level is not safe. It boosts your immune system big time! I don't count them I just grab a good amount in my hand 15-20 and take them! But I don't do this every day, maybe every second or third day so its basically similar.

I find my body will heat up significantly after a Vitamin D ingestion, I will even start to sweat. But I always feel REALLY good on it - btw it boosts serotonin yahoo!! Since it activates 5% of your DNA, or over 2000 genes there are many many many things that it is doing, and I think our propeller heads could study it for the next 100 years. Too bad so much of the research is profit controlled.

Same with me I have the coconut oil on the counter too - its actually another very powerful anti-viral, and a weight loss method.

The cinnamon is a MUST - for me. Vitamin D won't push out a Canadida yeast infection (producing a neurotoxin, and infecting anyone who ingests North American beef!) but cinnamon will! It is also a strong treatment for bugs and parasites in the gut, as it treats everything from ecoli and so forth. I also noticed it greatly helped with mental clarity, memory, focus and other beneficial side effects.

No subsititute for exercise though its still king for feeling good!

Fascinating! Thanks for the heads up on this!
Have you heard or read about Edgar Cayce? He talked about iodine a great deal in his readings; i use Atomidine (original Cayce formula) and it works very well. If you're interested, i'll post a video i made of the Cayce '5 elements' he says are required for health, those being water, salt, sodium bicarbonate, iron, and iodine.

BTW not to nitpick here, but in your document:
"Some people loose weight and do little to nothing"

The word 'loose' above should be 'lose' :) It's a common typo. Anyway great job! Will give this a read

What is the difference between salt and sodium? (Cayces 5 elements). Please clarify! :)

And what does ug mean? In the protocol it says 1500 ug a day of iodine. What does that equate to in mg or mcg?

Yes, I failed math.

Never mind, sodium bicarbonate..sheesh, I got it.. :)

yep, I went from a size 10 to a 4 by taking a thyroid supplement. I also take a bunch of kelp daily.

Now I do eat a lot of protein and veggies but I also eat ice cream and a few carbs.

Right now I'm working on not losing any more weight.
I am 5'8 and weigh 130.

I have to ask... when you talk about cinnamon, are you talking real cinnamon, or are you talking about cassia (a relation of cinnamon, and what is sold in the U.S. as 'cinnamon'; it's what you get off the shelf when you buy 'cinnamon' in the U.S.)

OK, so I am researching trying to find a great iodine source...any suggestions to cut time?

1500 micrograms RDA is about 150 ug/day.

kelp or seaweed.

Start with a good health food store they usually always carry Trophic - its the common cost effective oral.

If your in a pinch pick up some kelp, or kelp sheets.

Your local pharmacy I have never seen them carry Trophic although I did see a Pharmasave once that carried Lugols solution (a VERY strong variant of Iodine) - but that stuff is pretty strong and I would not recommend it unless your hard core into pushing out the heavy metals.

Capsules? Liguid,? and truly good brands to recommend?

I' taking stadard tree bark cinnamon.

Thank you OP!!!

Thanks my bad, I know I'll have to fire the proof-reader ;)

I'm not familiar with Edgar Cayce's iodine, however historicallly it was used as a cure all in the 1800's prior to anti-biotics. People were successfully even treating malaria with a nascent formula of it in a very highly bioavailable recipe, I think Dr Deagle peddles it at his nutrimedical.com site. I'm happy to just keep taking any oral iodine that is clean and oral - I don't get too fancy in that regards.

You are an Angel. Thank you for posting this. I have been fighting a low thyroid for many years now. I am going to do this and pray i start feeling better. It takes all i have to muster the energy to get through the day. My quality of life is nothing like it use to be at all. I pray my body reacts positive to this.
Thanks again.
