Guest guest Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hello Loophole,I really don't know and I didn't have time to pursue it at the time. My son also has thyroid issues and we were focused on that. But I do intend to question further the next time we see him. I would like to know.As far as I can tell, they're all "practicing" or we'd all be healed.

Keep in mind that at least as far as some in the medical field are concerned, they want a treatment, not a cure. A treatment yields continued income. A cure means you won't need them any more.
