Super post by one of the Thyroid greats
Grass-fed liver cooked in butter, cafe con leche, and a Mexican coke. ⠀
"When animals on seemingly adequate diets are submitted to stress, widespread damage occurs in their bodies. If these animals, however, are given fresh liver... little harm is done." ... "Liver of all varieties appears to be the richest source of the antistress vitamins..." Adelle Davis (1954)⠀
"...When people supplement thyroid and eat liver once or twice a week, their acne and dandruff (and many other problems) usually clear up very quickly..." Ray Peat (2011)⠀
"I think six ounces a week is enough, and safe. Drinking coffee with it reduces iron absorption." Ray Peat (2016)⠀
"Loss of pigmentation might also be expected in chronic Cu deficiency since this is a pronounced feature in most species." "Foods with high copper content include animal livers and shellfish...” "Osteoporosis is another feature seen in all species. “ "Anemia, neuopenia, and osteoporosis have been the principal features.” "Chronic diarrhea may have been important in the Cu deficiency observed in Peruvian children.” "The importance of reductions in the activity of cytochrome oxidase in causing the manifestations of Cu deficiency has probably been underestimated." —Danks, D.M. Copper deficiency in humans. Annu Rev Nutr. 1988;8:235-57.
