Wow, okay.  Thank you so much for that link.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I am familiar with Dr. Peat’s work and have been following his way of eating and working on my thyroid for over four years now. I have tried taking progesterone in the different doses and different forms for several years. For some reason, I still feel estrogen dominant symptoms from it no matter the dose. I just increased my aspirin  and started taking additional magnesium. Hopefully that will help. I was just wondering if others had issues with progesterone.

I haven’t supplemented with copper or vitamin A individually, but before discovering Ray Peat several years ago, I ate a similar diet to what the Low Toxin Lifestyle is suggesting. I prepared and cooked my own beans and lentils, stayed away from all dairy, etc. and what ended up happening to me was my endotoxin got out of control, my liver enzymes went through the roof, and I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease (Primary Biliary Cirrhosis).

Once I discovered Dr. Peat and implemented the things he suggested (foodwise and I started supplementing with thyroid), my health (physically and mentally) improved drastically. I think I was definitely low in many nutrients, especially vitamin A. Also, after about eight months on thyroid, I stopped testing positive for my autoimmune disease, which was a true miracle for me.

I never contributed on the RPF but read many things on there that were quite helpful in the past. I’m disappointed by the authoritarian environment there and left the site a few months ago. I just wish, out of respect, they would take Dr. Peat’s name off the URL.
