This is just a very brief post about something that happened to me recently.
After a long time being fairly lax about taking supplements I decided to be more organised and disciplined.
So, I started taking B complex, magnesium in two forms, some vitamin C, some multi-minerals and some extra zinc.

I appeared to be doing fine then I went rapidly down hill and I recognised that it was low cortisol very quickly. 
Having spoke to some friends it became clear that I probably should not have taken more than 10 mg of zinc and possibly none at all. 

This is an interesting article that was written in 2006 by a retired chief bio-medical scientist called Nick Welsh.

He believes that some people may have Addison's disease or partial adrenal insufficiency and yet still have good levels of cortisol when tested in blood (either through a standard 8:00am morning cortisol test OR a standard 8:00am Synacthen test/ACTH Stimulation test). He goes on to explain that some groups of people (including those with Hashimoto's thyroiditis) are prone to elevated cortisol binding globulin (CBG). CBG bings much of the free cortisol. 

Why the Circadian T3 Method is so Important

This blog post is about my own experience with stomach acidity, gut and histamine issues.

I do not pretend to be knowledgeable about digestive system issues at all. I've written this blog post simply because I felt that my own experience may offer some beginnings of new clues to some thyroid patients suffering similar problems.
