Re: RE: Running out of options for hypoglycemia
I imagined that moving the cartilage around probably aggravated the thyroid and caused it to malfunction or release to much thyroid hormone, which messed with my eyes. Is that a possibility?
A lot of your symptoms do sound like hyperthyroidism, including the bulging eyes and fast heart rate. I doubt moving the cartilage would have done this though. Hyperthyroidism is generally an autoimmune disorder. With hyperthyroidism there is also a consistent abnormally high basal body temperature, which if also present would pretty much confirm the condition.
I have noticed that the eye problems are much less severe as well since eating raw meat and no grain.
What are your thoughts?
If this is autoimmune hyperthyroidism then I don't see where the raw meat would help address the base problem of the autoimmunity. What I can see it doing is suppressing the thyroid somewhat from the higher estrogen level than would be found in cooked meat.
But hyperthyroidism is not treated by naturally by simply suppressing the thyroid since this does not address the adrenal dysfunction. The adrenal dysfunction needs to be addressed with vitamin C and pantothenic acid sources as well as adaptogens so the adrenals can help modulate the immune response. Although herbs, such as bugleweed and lemon balm, are often used at the same time to slow the thyroid down while the adrenals are being built up.
