Everybody’s eating soy these days. Soy is a not good for you for many reasons. One of the biggest reasons is that soy depresses thyroid function.
Soy products increase the risk of thyroid disease. Source
For adults, just 30 mg of soy isoflavones per day is the amount found to have a negative impact on thyroid function. [...]

Here’s a video excerpt of Dr. Janet Lang’s fascinating lecture about iodine and thyroid health at the WAPF Wise Traditions 2008 conference in San Francisco. I’ll be sharing more videos from the conference every day this week.
You can buy the videos, CDs or mp3 recordings from the Weston A. Price Foundation website. The complete conference [...]

I’ve written about maca before but I just can’t say enough about it. I already wrote about what it’s done for my PMS symptoms (eradicated them!).
I reported a while back that my temperature has been chronically low. Since April, I’ve been taking Iodoral and adrenal gland to help my thyroid and adrenal glands.
I started [...]

I’ve got exciting news.
I weighed myself this morning and guess what – I’ve lost a total of 9 pounds. I’m down to 145 now. This is a new low. Still 15-20 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight, but still! I’m happy! I had been stuck at 149 for months. I’ve lost 4 pounds just in the [...]

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know that Seth and I are both suffering from adrenal fatigue (and possibly low thyroid function as well). I started supplementing with 50 mg of Iodoral per day, as well as dessicated adrenal gland a couple of months ago. Seth started taking the supplements a [...]

We had our phone consultation to go over our test results with Dr. Flechas yesterday. He said that Seth and I are both iodine deficient and we should both take 50 mg of Iodoral per day — for a year. He said in one year, we’ll do the tests again and see where we are.
He [...]

I got my heavy metal urine analysis results back. I have very high levels of a number of metals, but I am highest in arsenic and uranium. So high, in fact, that it says I have reached the “tentative maximum permissible limit”.
Both arsenic and uranium are not only highly toxic and carcinogenic, but they are [...]

The day before yesterday, I started charting our temperatures using the new Lumiscope thermometer.
You take your temperature every three hours — around 9, 12 and 3. Then you take the average of those 3 numbers.
Me
Wednesday: 97.7
Thursday: 97.9
Seth
Wednesday: 96.5
Thursday: 96.7
Then you chart it on an Excel spreadsheet I downloaded from Dr. Rind’s website. He explains it [...]

I got my new Lumiscope thermometer yesterday. It was only $6.19. (And I ordered some other things so I got free shipping.)
I’m so happy I got it. I took my temperature right away when it arrived in the mail. We had just come back from a long walk so I figured my temperature would be [...]

I seriously feel like I am dying. HOLY MOLEY do I feel bad!
I started taking iodine drops yesterday. Not a lot. Yesterday I took about 5 grams and this morning I took about 10 grams.
The Japanese traditionally consume about 13 grams of iodine per day. They eat a lot of fish, seaweed, and fish broth.
They [...]
