it's also needed in a lot of hormone/ neurotransmitter pathways ,especially in the brain I think, can't remember exact details :-), and females over 40 don't tend to absorb it well from the gut I've heard

I always eat bananas.I did try low carb for years, but I never felt really rwell on it..way better with more carbs as well..especially fruit and veges. I've always been a big red meat eater.

love broccoli too ! :-)

> Magnesium - broccoli again - have you seen the nutritional profile for broccoli on nutritiondata.com??? It is quite amazing. Other veggies - especially, once more, the leafy greens not surprisingly.

Much the same as me in the food line, except for some reason I hate salmon.but it IS good for you :-) I try to eat it sometimes ...

Warning about Spinach in high doses, grin..I tried eating it by grazing thru the day on baby spinach once. It caused me to go severely hypothyroid in metabolism etc...causing fatigue, severe depression and all the typical symptoms
It's known about and there's research on it...I might have posted it on here ..about nitrates ?

well it must have been someone else then:-)... oh boy, I have a really bad memory!

>over there bad vibes?
I guess ( and its only a guess as we are got no reply to email and no notification was given as to why or what was happenning), there is just a change in attitude by the owner?. That is certainly the impression I have come up with.

A couple of months ago , the software changed and was not as user friendly with glaring red links filling up the side..and for a while not everything seemed to be working including the search..those kinda problems that you expect with an upgrade maybe.
The feedback from the forum community appeared, to me, to be totally ignored as far ..especially about something simple to change like the color of the writing down the side!

But more to the point for me, I had a thread deleted and my nick was set to read only and a post edited..and the comment edited on may make it look as if I was sell something..I wasn't ..I just discussed what was in the product with links to research done by others, links that discredited the promoters of the product I think, and links as to where you could get similar from cheaper ingredients..like whey, aloe vera etc...not exactly sure as I didnt keep a copy of the post..only most of the links :-)

This gagging of members/ deletions of posts or whole threads of a few posters appeared to be escalating and new rules were posted by the forum owner(now deleted) which seemed to state that any content she didn't approve of would be deleted with no notification as it was a private forum. So noone really knows what is safe to post :-) Perhaps posting on contentious issues or putting forward differing ideas, especially posting with links in :-) ? Noone seemed to be able to query what was going on?The posts would be deleted. Posters had to sign in with new nicks, it was getting confusing for all :-)
All in all, not a supportive atmosphere at all for people already struggling with depression/ anxiety/ thyroid problems/ generally not well. It's difficult to believe it happened.http://forums.about.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?msg=3238.35&nav=messages&webtag=ab-thyroiduk#a35 also posts 37 (and 14) in that thread... maybe I have got it wrong and its all some unrealised software fault, but there's no point in deliberately visiting a stressful atmosphere:-))

I hesitated to write this but what the heck!:-)..In the past I've recommended this site , so I'm just stating how I feel at present..same thing ?..especially as I can't edit my old posts :-) I'd just really hate anyone who had hypothyroid symptoms to think it was still the same and look for help there at present, based on what I've said in the past :-).

The hyperthyroid board is still excellent though(run by a different person who is active on that forum and a real expert).

Oh boy..sorry for the outburst..I've been taking tyrosine for toothache :-) tyrosine makes most people a bit aggressive, but it does work for facial pain for me ..really well!

On fish oil, one lady over there had success with DHA rich fish oil, so I might try that too. I hope to try the same brand sometime.. I definitely don't go well on normal fish oil. http://forums.about.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?msg=3238.9&nav=messages&webtag=ab-thyroiduk#a9.


> However eczema doesn't seem to like eggs or cheese much, despite taking probably too much fish oil.

> Hmm - I'll have to check out the whole siberian ginseng again - I got put off because I ordered some bulk powder and it tasted really sawdusty and didn't have any smell, and didn't do anything - I must have bought filler!
>
> I see it is possible to buy Rhodiola roots to make as a tea as well albeit rather expensive. I wonder if that effect is very different too from the extract pills.
>
> I drink tons of 'weak' yerba mate - i.e. I don't put 100g of yerba mate per mug like the Argentinians (which is traditional) - I put a good rounded coffee spoon though. I love this stuff - you get lots of minerals and B vitmamins. People say it's stimulating but I never felt that - it has even helped me sleep at night (mind you it is weak). I will miss it if we move away from here as it is really cheap, but expensive in other countries.

I've never tried yerba mate. I want to try Maca sometime too. I know I can get it here in Oz now.
