Every week I have a newly diagnosed hypothyroid patient.  If they saw another practitioner they were usually prescribed synthyroid which makes the patient feel worse.

Most Americans don't know that there is an alternative to synthyroid medication.  Synthyroid is filled with fillers, additives, colors, gluten and other contaminants that will make your thyroid condition worse.

Both contribute to diabetes and obesity in different ways.

You know the story of Snow White who ate the poisonous apple and went into a deep paralytic sleep.
