I have been looking for raw glands. I heard/ read info by Aajonus Vonderplanitz about how eating certain glands can cure gland related ailments. For example, pituitary for hpta axis out of balance, thyroid for thyroid issues etc... Can anyone shed any light on this?
-
I just ordered some raw thyroid and adrenals from Northstar Bison.
-
I don't know of any scientific studies re the above, but it makes perfect sense that nutrients in a healthy consumed heart will help alleviate a person's heart-disease, and so on,. Like cures like.
-
I checked northern bison and couldn't find thyroid and adrenals. How did you get them? After a year of adrenal exhaustion, I need to rejuvenate them. Thank you...

Got some thymus which I haven't yet eaten at http://www.greenzabiha.com/

Be careful with raw thyroid - I ate a piece the size of my thumbnail, which intoxicated me (rapid heart rate, restlessness, sleeplessness) for 36-48 hours.

and ...in europ? -[
you are very lucky to get bison meat so easily in US!!!!
-
You need a blasted prescription to get raw thyroid from NorthStar Bison these days, I've heard. You can also get freeze-dried extracts of raw thyroid and raw adrenals from Dr Ron's website(drrons.com)
-
Too right you need a prescription - it's bloody scary ODing...

I wish I knew where to get raw pituitary, or any pituitary. Does anyone here even know what it looks like?

Had it beef frozen? What animal was it from? Did you possibly have a thyroid condition before you started? I ask; because I'd like to try it, if it wouldn't harm me.

Anyone ever swell from eating thymus?
-
@RawZi: It was frozen beforehand (got it from a venison farm) and I ate a thumbnail-sized piece...I was awoken in the middle of the night with my heart beating the fastest and hardest I've ever experienced - more so than a typical 10k bike ride at full pace.
My master clock was really screwed for 36 hours after eating that piece. I would suggest trying a microscopic piece, if you dare!
I guess that I'm not hypothyroid! ;-)) Thyrotoxicity is pretty weird and frightening - I'm just glad I only tried a small piece...
By the way, was that a freudian slip: Had it beef frozen?! ;-))) Maybe you should eat some beef...

I just bought some raw thyroids from NorthStar Bison for my girlfriend last week. She said she ate a whole thyroid last Sunday morning, and was really full of energy for about 2 hours, and then back to normal/tired after that. I think she's very hypothyroid. She has a low body temp, is very cold-intolerant, and is pretty thin.
I have read that it is good to take thyroid in small doses several times daily, instead of one big dose. Her experience seems to mirror that.

Isn't a low body weight counter to low thyroid function?
My wife definitely has hypothyroid issues. She has the same cold intolerance & low body temp but she's overweight due to it.
-
Yeah, they typically gain weight, uncontrolledly. I was gaining two pounds every month not going down when I was hypothyroid. I wasn't big though anyway, as I had always been very thin. When I saw a new doctor, he had read my charts first (labwork). Then he met me and was shocked I wasn't three times my weight.

In general, yes, but she's extremely cold-intolerant, with relatively low energy.
-
so would eating thyroid cure thyroid issues? I have a local source for some and was thinking of trying it, maybe just to balance my thyroid, even though I dont think I have thyroid problems, I cant seem to gain weight.

me and my toddler both get sick after eating raw pituitary gland. but i always give my toddler other type of glands, but not pituitary gland.
