    See if they will try you on Nystatin for intestinal yeast. It treats the intestines only and doesn't put any strain on the liver. You'll know if you've got intestinal candidiasis because your symptoms will get worse for a few days and then much much better. If the bloating is due to a slow moving gut, you can bet that the yeast (as well as other organisms...

    This is interesting: There are "fungus" camps out there that claim that 100 percent of American corn is infested with the Aspergillus Fungus. Aspergillus produces Aflotoxins which are a known risk factor for liver cancer. There are people who wouldn't touch corn with a ten foot pole on account of this. The same sources claim that this percentage is reduced...

    I have been messed up with an ever-changing assortment of ailments over the years. Dx with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis about seven years ago (I'm sure I've had it for decades). I've suspected (off and on) that I have gluten issues. I think I might have that "silent" kind that shows itself in autoimmunity. I have had stomach issues here and there too,...

    Ursula, I was so happy to find your post! I'm about to start the Wilson's protocol. I'm waiting for the meds to come via Fedex. It wasn't clear to me if you are taking the actual time-released T3 or going the nutritional supplement only route - I know Wilson's offers both. Frankly, I'm a little bittle nervous about starting the protocol because...

    Just finished reading the book. I think what everybody is really reacting to (me included) is the way he states that the biopsy is the "Gold Standard" - that's a pretty definite statement and it doesn't seem to allow for any other opinion. To me this is the typical "Dr. Arrogance" that I've come to detest. If he'd just put it out there as an "option",...

    Coffee is Very acidic. If you've changed your diet to a lot protein and fruit then that's also acidic this could be disrupting your ability to digest. I've had this problem too off and on and I think it's based on whether I've been "tipping the acid/alkaline balance". Folger's just came out with a "low acid" coffee - I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going...

    I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I notice that whenever anything at all challenges my immune system, be it a cold, flu or bug bite - my immune system seems to go into "overkill" and my Hashi's symptoms get worse. moon

    Gosh Rob, Your story sounds a lot like mine lately. I am pretty much self-diagnosed and stopped eating gluten about four months ago. I have felt great and have been taking a ton of nutritional supplements since January. I credit these two things with turning my health around. Since I'm self-diagnosed, I guess I'm not as careful as I should be or...

    I'm not saying the Drs. are all in for the money... I am saying they are for the most part "unwitting" participants. They cannot veer from the established "standard of practice" (no matter how many studies dispute it, or how ignorant it is) because when they sit in that witness box they'd better be able to say that their approach in any given procedure...

    Thank you all for reminding of a lesson I seem to need to learn again and again: That you have to take your health and circumstances into your own hands and not feel as though you're somehow "beholden" to medical opinion. The bonus is (and I already know this) that you get to feel "empowered" and that empowerment touches on every area of your...

    I wish I had read these posts before I posted my very first today. I just ordered Green's book today too. I'm glad that I'm not alone with my frustration with the medical profession. I'm frustrated already and I haven't even approached the demi-gods on the subject of celiac's as of yet. I'm sorry, I know there are good people out there who fall under...

    Hi I'm a newbie, I have a long, frustrating tale (most of which I'll spare you kind people!). Is there a point in getting a diagnosis? I've pretty much already diagnosed myself. Have been struggling with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis for about 15 years now (unlike most - I've been hyper-thyroid for most of that time - heart palpitations, constant fatigue, insomnia...
