Thanks for the input.
I am female, now 43y-old. You are right about not messing up the hormones unless necessary, and sticking to bio-identical instead of synthetic. Most hormones are available as bio-identical, it's just a pitty gynecologists prefer the synthetic, brainwashed as they are. Always stay away from cortisol-like hormones, even the bio-identical hydrocortisone, which nearby killed me and probably procured me lyme.
DHEA and pregnenolone are great to use when there is a lack, which is always the case as we grow older. And they do not mess up the hormonal balance. It is a pitty doctors don't check nor prescribe them in belgium and vicinities.
The website you refer to praises iodized table salt. I warn people to stay away from synthetic table salt because it is poisonous to the organism. Choose unrefined sea salt or pink salt.
The iodine added to that salt is still for a lot of people not enough. Lugol iodine, kelp in capsules (or Edgarcaycesremedy iodine?): they may do the trick. Remember: iodine can only be checked
via 24h/urine. Be aware that the FLUORIDE (industrial debris) in toothpaste gets absorbed in the thyroid and will never leave it, doing havoc. That is I believe a major reason for thyroid dysfunction in the fluoride toothpaste-using-countries. If you ingests a tube or half a tube, you could drop death. Be aware as well, that eventhough you don't swallow, it is absorbed through the gums. Alternatives for killing bacteria are neem, ratanhia, myrrh, xylitol. One more thing: it is not because labtests are within the 'normal range', that a thyroid is not dysfunctional, there is a lot of underdiagnosing going on.
Recently I was able to stop the fludrocortisone I was on, and I prescribe that victory to kambo.
Now, so much for toothpaste and kambo :-)
