What’s so bad about sugar, grains, and refined vegetable oils? (Part 1)

What’s so bad about sugar, grains, and refined vegetables oils? I’m glad you asked.

Why conventional medicine is woefully inept at diagnosing and treating thyroid problems

July 16, 2015 by Michelle Durkin

Do you suffer from fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, constipation, feeling cold all the time, dry skin, or infertility?

Have you read somewhere that these are all symptoms of a thyroid problem and thought to yourself, Finally – I now know why I feel so crappy?

Have you then gone to your doctor to have a blood test done to confirm your suspicions only to be told that your thyroid is fine?
