So often watching the podcasts with Georgi (and Ray) everything seems esoteric and inside joke because I'm behind and don't know the basics, I have to glean thru context and it can be quite challenging. For that reason it's nearly impossible for me to recommend them to others, especially loved ones who don't have the time or mental capacity to apply to the endeavor.
Thanks for this Danny... still hard to believe Ray is gone... it's sinking in real slow... am rereading Generative Energy right now... one of my favourite books of all time
Thank you so much for this, Danny. I've been taking raw dessicated bovine thyroid from Forefront Health, 65 mg in the mornings, but not noticing much change. What do you think about taking one's thyroid in this form?
Thanks for this, found the point about ratios a useful refresher, I've never managed to add in T4 successfully but am going to play around with the 1:1 and 1:2 ratios.
Hi Danny! Thank you for this podcast. This has been an eye opener. Even my endocrinologist cant figure out why. I have tried progesterone cream but i ended up overdosing on it.
Am struggling with t3 supplementation with terrible adrenaline surges. And it's critical to do something urgently as my TSH is over 60. My body can't convert t4 to t3. The surges are so bad that even with meals I can't tolerate minute doses of t3. Can you please spell the medication you recommended for adrenaline surges? Would be very helpful.
[BAD ADRENALINE REACTION TO THYROID]"...Is your calcium intake high enough relative to phosphate? Salty consomme and orange juice help to lower adrenaline; it’s important to start with very small amounts of thyroid, increasing it gradually over a period of months. Have you had blood tests for thyroid and vitamin D?" RP (2021)
[BAD ADRENALINE REACTION TO THYROID] “By stabilizing your glucose and glycogen system, thyroid might be the basic thing that’s needed. T3 acts quickly, and is excreted with a half life of about 12 hours. A dose of about 1 to 3 micrograms can have noticeable effects within a few minutes. If your adrenaline is very high (hypothyroid people can secrete it at 30 to 40 times the normal rate), the first doses can make you more sensitive to the adrenaline, so it’s good to have the beta blocker, in case you react too strongly to the small dose. The T3 effects are already declining by the second hour, but it will have slightly increased your stored glycogen and reduced your adrenaline sensitivity, so reactions to each following dose should be better, and over a period of 2 or 3 days it should begin to having the calming, relaxing effects that are normal when the adrenaline is lower. Gelatin, sugar, and carbon dioxide have stabilizing, sedating effects, so things like chicken consomme’, orange juice, ice cream, and re-breathing in a paper bag for a minute or two at a time might be helpful.
Products containing thyroxine, T4, require planning on a longer range, considering that it accumulates in the body with a long half life of about two weeks. Sea food provides the selenium needed for activation of the thyroid hormone.” RP (2021)
Thank you so much for the reply. My doctor did try to put me on beta blockers. And they again back fired big time.. they did lower HR but not significantly and ended up raising my blood pressure to very high levels.(never had hypertension before). My doctor was baffled coz he has never seen anyones bp shoot up on beta blockers before. HR also wasn't significantly lower. Neither could I handle much of t3 though we tried for 6 to 7 months.
I do take t3 with food and have started again at a extremely low dose once again. I take it with fruits or other carb/ easy sugar release foods. And never on empty stomach.
Am happy to try the antihistamin that you recommend. Thankfully it's available otc. 2 questions regarding this before I start. 1. I am sensitive to a lot of drugs and they cause mood flucations and am prone to depression. Does this anti histamine do that?
2. Am already obese at this point with a very high tsh and these adrenal surges sometimes gives me crazy hunger pangs. And this anti histamine is also used as an appetite stimulant. So would it work for me? What do u feel?
Thank you for taking the time to answer my queries and I look forward to hearing from you
Nice, the one problem i have with antibiotics is that when I stop it the infection comes back in 2 days, it would be great if you could cover this and it's potential solutions in the episode
Have you checked your thyroid function and vitamin D level?
Broda Barnes. Hypothyroidism: The Unsuspected Illness. 1976
"Chronic or recurrent infection of one kind or another has been 'the story of my life’ for many patients with thyroid deficiency.”" I have seen many children who suffered from repeated colds followed by complications such as tonsillitis, sinusitis, ear and mastoid infections, who needed repeated antibiotic treatment and went right on getting new infections until their hypothyroidism was treated.”
My TSH is hovering around 0.6 and is usually around 0.5, but I get white coat syndrome every time I'm at the doctors, so maybe the excess cortisol is causing it to decrease, I've measure my pulse and temp for many days and it does seem to be quite low..
Is Cynomel still safe with all the drug issues going on in Mexico? I love using it, but my husband is worried about me ordering from Mexico now. Just wanted to get some feedback from someone who lives there. Thank you for all that you do!
Yes. There are news reports here that people have received medication from Mexico pharmacies that had fentanyl in it. Could that possibly be an issue with Cynomel that you know of. Cynomel has helped me out a great deal and I really don't want to stop ordering it. Thanks for replying back to me and any information is greatly appreciated.
The producer of cynoplus and cynomel, grossman, is a large generic drug producer here, so I think something like that would be unlikely. The point of hiding fentanyl in things is to traffic it and make money, not to randomly spike people's medication I think.
With regards to the T3 to T4 ratios, how do you think about optimal dosing? Such as if roughly 2 grains is a decent replacement dose and you're going for a 1:2 ratio, do you shoot for that with 2 grains of T3 going for 30mcg/60mcg, or more like 60mcg/120mcg?
Danny, very good post! Thank you!!!! What you think of to measure, always, the reverse T3 to follow up the use of thyroid; may be this is always necessary. Any idea about that.
For me, eyeballing Cynomel and Cynoplus seems to be working well enough. I have a scale and use it once every few months to make sure my estimations are in the ballpark. Otherwise, the Cynoplus splits in half (ish) easily when you use your nail. Then the halves split in quarters (ish) fairly easily. The Cynomel is slightly more challenging but I've been doing it with no problem.
A rough 1/4 of either is the max that I have been taking, few times a day, with decent improvements and no problems.
I do not have patience for the scale and crumbs, except if I absolutely have to, which thankfully I do not.
Yes, these are very helpful.

This is an easy share though.
Great episode!

I don't trust any thyroid brands that don't list the amount of T3 and T4.

Hey Danny what are your thoughts on Clarithromycin as a safe antibiotic?
I've used it many times and thought that it was beneficial. The next episode of this podcast will be on antibiotics.
Nice, the one problem i have with antibiotics is that when I stop it the infection comes back in 2 days, it would be great if you could cover this and it's potential solutions in the episode

What about t3 expiration dates? How long can they last unopened past expiration?
Danny, what about the excipients on Cynoplus
I think they are a bad stuff
What do you think
