Re: Cholesterol sulfate

While it may be true that LDL receptors malfunction in the presence of acetaldehyde, we may not have to look any farther than the thyroid to find a reason for high cholesterol levels.

Acetaldehyde is so reactive that the tissues most affected will be those in closest proximity to the source of the toxin, e.g. leaky gut/leaky throat as discussed previously.

Since hypothyroidism and hyperlipidemia go hand in hand, the major contributor to high cholesterol levels in the bloodstream may be the interference of acetaldehyde with the TSH receptors of the thyroid. These thyroid cells are in a region surrounding the throat immediately adjacent to an area of yeast colonization and in close proximity to its toxic metabolite acetaldehyde.

The output of thyroid hormone is critical to both the production and catabolism of cholesterol.

See Field et al. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3784912

This is supported by the observation that individuals treated with thyroid replacement hormones such as synthroid usually show improvement in cholesterol levels without additional treatment with inhibitors such as statins.

See Mishkel et al. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0009898177902157

What is really needed here is a clinical trial of an acetaldehyde scavenging protocol (Wondro or flax-oil emulsified NAC) delivered in a liquid modality that doesn't bypass the esophageal lining in individuals manifesting both low thyroid output and high cholesterol to see if both imbalances respond favorably to the scavenging protocol alone.
