Guest guest Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Kara, Steph, the listowner, also has a thyca website: naturalthyroidchoices.com Steph is extremely busy with her ND practice these days so is less available than she was, but I'm sure she'll speak to your concerns. Meanwhile, that website will direct you back to her blog, maybe you didn't see her personal story yet? Or maybe you have, but her story is all about taking iodine. Steph was given 3 RAI in varying strengths and she still had cancer markers. She found iodine and the markers are no longer of concern. -- moderator On 22 Feb 2012 at 23:23, karadans23 wrote: > Hi Everyone: I'm new to this group and just happened to stumble upon > it on the web from a link to the owner's blog.
