Aging, infection, trauma, prolonged cortisol excess, somatostatin, dopamine or L-dopa, adrenaline (sometimes; Mannisto, et al., 1979), amphetamine, caffeine and fever can lower TSH, apart from the effect of feedback by the thyroid hormones, creating a situation in which TSH can appear normal or low, at the same time that there is a real hypothyroidism. -Ray [...]
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 [...]
Endocrinology. 1992 Aug;131(2):662-8. Estradiol selectively regulates agonist binding sites on the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor complex in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. Weiland NG. Estradiol alters cognitive function and lowers the threshold for seizures in women and laboratory animals. Both of these activities are modulated by the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate in the hippocampus. To assess the [...]

Troisi RJ, Speizer FE, Willett WC, Trichopoulos D, Rosner B. We prospectively evaluated the association of hormone replacement therapy and asthma incidence in a cohort of pre- and postmenopausal women 34 [...]
J Clin Invest. 1986 Jan;77(1):7-12. Oral intake of phosphorus can determine the serum concentration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D by determining its production rate in humans. Portale AA, et al. Changes in the oral intake of phosphorus could induce the reported changes in the serum concentration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25-(OH)2D) by inducing changes in its production rate [...]
by Barry Groves Source If you want to get ahead, get a brain There is overwhelming evidence that we can not be a vegetarian species. In 1972 the publication of two independent investigations confirmed this.[1] [2] They concerned fats. About half our brain and nervous system is composed of complicated, long-chain, fatty acids. These are [...]
J Strength Cond Res. 2004 May;18(2):306-10. Combined creatine and sodium bicarbonate supplementation enhances interval swimming. Mero AA, Keskinen KL, Malvela MT, Sallinen JM. This study examined the effect of simultaneous supplementation of creatine and sodium bicarbonate on consecutive maximal swims. Sixteen competitive male and female swimmers completed, in a randomized order, 2 different treatments (placebo [...]
Eur J Med Res. 2003 Aug 20;8(8):381-7. Dietary fatty acids and immune reactions in synovial tissue. Adam O. Inflammation of the synovial membrane in rheumatoid arthritis is mediated by specialized cells necessary for immune response. The most prominent features are the accumulation of mononuclear phagocytes, lymphocytes and leukocytes in the proliferating tissue. Pro-inflammatory and proliferative [...]
Gershom Zajicek’s Website Even the liver and adrenal gland are now known to be continuously renewed by “cell streaming,” though at a slower rate than the skin, conjunctiva, and intestine. -Ray Peat, PhD Choosing the right foods, the right atmosphere, the right mental and physical activities, and finding the optimal rhythms of light, darkness, and [...]
