That's the trouble with abbreviations - I meant linoleic acid, the omega 6 fatty acid! ALA is the same as lipoic acid, and is also know as thioctic acid. Think you're right, lipoic acid can interfere with T4 to T3 conversion - I take it as lipothiamine in a very small amount and do fine with it - it's essential for energy production and can help with glutathione recycling.>
> Also I've scome cross the word glutathone relating to GP6D deficiency preventing something..I'll look it up..and low carbing can alter (slow) G6PD post transcriptional gene production ..or something like that!..so that is why I sometimes feel better if I have some glucose I think(instead of just low carb)...not sure on though!..get REALLLY lost with this stuff!tried to guess what G6PD was, but had to give up and look on google! glucose 6 phospahte deficiency! G6P is needed to make NADPH, the molecule that supplies the energy to recycle glutathione.

....really recommend DPP IV, and lactoferrin too!
> how does one know if one has reduced Hcl in the stomach or not?
sometimes drinking lemon juice after meal is a good test...if you feel better, it might be that the extra acidity is helping.Ray
