keep us informed with your treatment with the doc - interested in hearing what he suggests for you and what your diagnosis is

I am young, but don't let my age confuse you with my level of knowledge or my level of maturity. I'm very bright and at times feel as though I'm on my way to 40 (things I've had to deal with in life).
For my mother, husband and myself, I spend $24 a month each, for my son I spend another $10. Altogether not that much even still, it's way cheaper than the $500 a month health insurance money that was being thrown down the toilet. The "doctors" kept telling my husband he was fine because of his test results, they ignored his symptoms and assumed he was fine but expected him to just let them cut his thyroid out. He was soooo desperate to stop the anxiety attacks he just about did, but I researched online for hours and hours and found all the info I needed to change our lives. I've now been researching for about a year, finding all the ways Iodine deficiency effects us so I can spread the word. It's made such a big impact on our lives as well as our friends that I got to start supplementing, I just know that if other people will try it for just a month, they will never go back.

When I first went vitamin shopping to help my husband I too learned how expensive it can be, especially if you shop at the health food store to get it, I shop online... much cheaper. After getting online to shop I had the added benefit of researching each item prior to purchasing to find out how well it really worked, not to mention what aspect of your health it helps. I was very blessed that God gave me guidance when I went shopping the first time around, I got all the good stuff and never sunk money into anything worthless. I would agree with you about most multi's though, I have taken a few others and never noticed a difference. Even my mom was taking some vitamins she bought at Sam's Club, yuck, THAT was a waste of money. She never saw a difference in that either, so she was skeptical when I started handing her pills but she didn't want to hear me giving her a hard time about it and I guess she trust's my opinion so she took them. A couple weeks later the first and biggest sign of improvement was improved memory. My mom struggled for years to remember where she placed an item, never would remember, we'd just find it when we'd move into a new apt. But two weeks later she remembered where she had put stuff, all kinds of stuff too... I don't recall the next one for sure but I do remember that her eye sensitivity was gone, she was no longer getting migraines from the light... ahh that's it, she used to have migraines very frequently, then our water was fluoridated and her migraines were at least every other day, it was horrible. But shortly after supplementing her migraines became less and less frequent, and when she did have one she would take liquid feverfew (in a capsule) and it would be gone in 30 min. Now she only gets them when she's on her monthly and I believe a few more months and even that will be gone. She began sleeping better at night, less frequent trips to the bathroom to pee, she began losing weight... and it wasnt just the Iodine because we were getting MAYBE 1mg per day.

I too saw some amazing results within a very short time, first and foremost I had more energy and not just that but stamina, I could clean and actually finish a task, the sweet cravings that held me captive since I began my period were gone, I began shedding pounds that I've struggled with for years, my own migraines were becoming less frequent (though they went away with the addition of magnesium) my daughter whom I breastfeed stopped spitting up, she was prior to supplementation pooping once a week to 10 days after supplementation she pooped every day, her protruding tongue didn't protrude as much anymore, I went to knotts and ran up two flights of steps and felt GREAT... the list goes on, I can't really remember everything anymore since I have it listed on my site.

My son, niece and nephew had been sick rather frequently. My niece and nephew were sick with something new EVERY week, that's no exaggeration. After giving them supplements: multi, fish oil, 500mg vit c, they stopped being sick and hadn't gotten sick again till my sister and the kids moved out and hadn't had any for a couple weeks.
BTW the BEST multi for kids is by Country Life, Tall Tree Kids multivitamin. It has all they stuff they need AND it has the highest content of any of the others, plus it has no allergens and no soy!

In case I hadn't mentioned it, the multi my family and friends are taking is One 'N' Only by pure essence labs. VERY good multi.

Well gotta run for now, breads baking and it smells done!
