Thanks Cindi - you know it's truly amazing... everything that's ever

been " wrong " with me traces back to the hypothyroid. Everything.

no... perhaps it just helps clear up some of the side effects of

having hypo without actually affecting the cause itself (meaning it

may well not do a thing to improve the thyroid function.)

Oh it's all so confusing.

Maybe the question is, can it help enough? Are all the wavelengths

reproduceable? Is it like iodized salt preventing goiter but not sufficient to

prevent low thyroid?
