Also see: Thyroid peroxidase activity is inhibited by amino acids Gelatin, Glycine, and Metabolism Gelatin > Whey The selection of proteins should minimize the amino acids tryptophan (which is the precursor of serotonin) and cysteine (which, like tryptophan, suppresses thyroid function, by including gelatin and fruits. Gelatin is 22% glycine, which protects the lungs and [...]

Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am. 1994 Jun;23(2):379-86. Hypertension in thyroid disorders. Saito I, Saruta T. Hypertension is more common in hypothyroidic patients than in euthyroid controls in older age groups. Treatment of the thyroid deficiency alone lowers blood pressure in most patients. Hemodynamically, cardiac output is reduced and total peripheral resistance is elevated. The latter [...]

Calcium Paradox

Dietary calcium deficiency results in calcium being placed where it does not belong – in the soft tissues – and this happens at the expense of our bones causing dysfunctions like hypertension, arteriosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and degenerative joint disease. Inappropriate calcification occurs ironically due to a lack of calcium. [...]
