Guest guest Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Hey Sheila, You are right, of course. There are many different approaches to everything concerning thyroid disease. I for example am treated with synthetics. If everytime someone posted info saying Armour was good I went online to find 500 articles that say Synthroid is the only answer and pasted them here, it would be... annoying at the very least. There comes a time when you have to accept people have opinions different from yours, and that they are all valid in the path to health.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Thanks for your kind words Jan. deserves most of the credit with all the research she does for us. With my very elderly in laws staying with me for the next month, I've been to busy to post. We're so blessed to have to help and all our great members who help each other. I'm very blessed to have this time with my in-laws. They are wonderful people, both retired doctors. We've been having lots of interesting conversations about medicine and the way it used to be. They are both in their late 80's so they have a lot to tell. Welcome back, but sorry for the reasons you had to come back. a On Jan 10, 2006, at 10:48 AM, CATSY =^..^= wrote: > And.... > I forgot to put in the other half of Team /a...you both > are awesome....!!!!! > > Words are not enough to let you know that you are > appreciated...both of you for all the hard work, time, and patience > you impart to this family....the one the two of you have built for > us all to share with you.
