Hello everyone,
I'll try to reply at some points: 

"So if we look at number 4 "Weight gain and obesity without eating more than before ", would you say this weight gain is a plus in function, or a minus? Are there different angles from which we can look? It is a kind of swelling, but does not seem to be related to inflammation. Where in the Compass do these fit together?"
~~#F09:yes sometimes, in water retention for example and oedema it is some kind of swelling
but in obesity as a lot of fat tissue, here we have decrease in function: slowe metabolism, decrease sensitivity to hormones, or decrease hormone secretions...etc
so again I find this in new brain-CM~~

"In number 5 "Underactive thyroid, weight gain and inner coldness, tiredness ", we see that a minus in function (of the thyroid) is already stated as given, and the weight gain and inner coldness are related to the reduced hormone release. Where in the compass do we find a reduced function, and might that be related to a stress or a regeneration phase? Does this also remind you of the Autonomic Ladder?"
~~#F09:it is in the bottom of the autonomic ladder
it comes after loooong standing stress, isn't it? so could it be in 1st regeneration phase?~~

"So weight gain can be underfunction (as in the example with thyroid hormones), but could it also be a result of an overfunction? What would in that case be overfunctioning?"
~~#F09:~~#F66:yes, it could be an overfunction to the immune system, in autoimmune hypothyroidism~~~~
