Re: DISEASE Was: TSH test and iodine

[Guest guest]

Gracia, how did this happen to you with all of these medical

people in your family. My family had no such access, and

took anything the doctor said at face value.

It sound like a disease is precisely what you have. From Wikipedia:

" A *disease* is an abnormal condition of an organism that impairs bodily

functions all over. "

Your specific abnormal condition, according to your post, was iodine

deficiency.

There are other definitions, I guess; and all may be somewhat controversial.

I never knew my Uncle--he disappeared and was found after some years in Samoa.

We are still discovering his children (my cousins) from all over the world. I

didn't know about my sister and brotheror father!, Panamanian/Spanish side,

until a few years ago.
