Hi Pat,

That is very interesting. Thanks for posting it.

I don't know about Vit. E deficency. I have been taking 400 IU plus what I am

getting in my multivitamin for many years. I started having thyroid

problems(not sure exactly when) maybe 8 months ago. I was hypo and went hyper.

It is

such a roller coaster.

Hi,

Both vitamin C and vitamin E deficiencies cause symptoms of hyperthryoidism.

Langer describes this in one of his books and I describe it in my GD

book. There are lots of other sources too. Take care, Elaine

Cat hyperthyroidism is quite well studied, it is usually caused by

adenoma and not terribly similar to Graves in cause as far as we know,

although the thyrotoxicity gives the same symptoms, it typically won't

go into remission on drugs.

So interesting comments on things that increase risk of feline

hyperthyroidism.

Not heard that one quoted for cats.

Probably other big primates are closest, and pigs are often quoted as

being useful for certain medical work I think due to the similar size

and diet, but smaller animals are more practical for a lot of work.

Also it helps if the animals are well studied, and easy to keep in

captivity, so the poor old lab rat gets chosen quite often. Rats are

much nicer than their reputation, at least when kept as pets.
