I think my list is at least as big as yours, Andi. I take nearly 50 different supplements every day. Nearly all of them are lower doses, though--I've gotten cautious about taking the amounts in commercial capsules.

A couple of things on your list rang some bells with me, so I'm going to look up everything just to be sure. Just so you know, ALCAR has been used to treat hyperthyroidism. I also take it, but I've got my thyroid meds adjusted to take that into account. (It may, however, explain part of the problem I was having with my labs for a time.)

For right now, having nothing to do with your thyroid numbers and everything to do with cancer, have you considered taking niacin or niacinamide instead of NADH? I read the following paper, and I gave up the NADH immediately. I've been taking extra niacin/niacinamide ever since.

I'll get back to you shortly on everything else. I think it would be a really bad idea for you to change your regimen given how well it has worked for you, but a little fine tuning might be useful, especially for the supplements that you're using for energy and brain fog.
