Re: Vitamin A = Lethargy, Joint Pain, and more...

Thank you for sharing wombat.

Yes, I'm avoiding xenoestrogens and mostly all processed foods. I've gone almost completely raw. Thanks for the link to the thyroid connection, I've been looking very deep into scientific studies regarding retinoids and how they're metabolized by the body for a few months now. What I've found is: Taurine can bind to retinoid alleviating side-effects, tocopherols (vitamin E) is beneficial, a balance between the fat soluable vitamins is needed (another reason for vitE/D/K supps), and over time with reduced retinol exposure my body can eliminate the excess toxins. And I've also included selenium with Iodine a while back, and magnesium, lecithin, and possibly a couple others I'm forgetting.

And regarding the legal stuff. I've wagged my odds greatly and I don't feel I have a chance. It only took the drugs 3 weeks to do all this damage, then I stopped. Trust me, I've been furious at times, regretful, sad, etc. I've been all over the board in terms of emotions and mindset regarding this setback. I'm past that emotional roller-coaster. And if I see the chance arise for monetary ratification then I'll take it. But for now it's just not there.

I've chosen to always seek improvement, and better my life regardless of its current state. And I'm glad to have found this forum on my journey. Tweet
