If
Miracle-Mineral-Supplement is in a crystal form then it is not likely chlorine dioxide as they claim. Chlorine dioxide is a gas, but is highly soluble in water. I have never heard of chlorine dioxide existing in a crystal form.
Thyroid tests are notorious for missing cases of hypothyroidism. There are several reasons for this but it will take a lot more typing to explain these reasons than I prefer to do right now. I would estimate though that hypothyroidism is missed probably 80 to 90% of the time with conventional lab tests. Symptoms are a much more accurate way to determine thyroid function. In particular an abnormally low body temperature. To determine this do your basal body temperature each morning for at least a week. Your average should be 97.6 or higher. Instructions can be easily found on the web. Add this to other symptoms which can include weight gain, dry hair and skin, fatigue, slow pulse, constipation, mental fogginess, insomnia, cold intolerance, etc. and you can be about guaranteed to have hypothyroidism. Keep in mind though that all of these symptoms are not always present. For example, a person can be hypothyroid and still be very thin. And many of these symptoms can also be caused from other things, such as adrenal fatigue. The low body temperature is the biggest giveaway.
Chlorella is great for heavy metal binding, but not spirulina. I actually like chlorella better than spirulina for several reasons including the chlorella growth factor.
A good way to determine the possible cause of your hair loss is to consider where it is coming out. DHT causes "male pattern baldness". There is a greater number of DHT receptors on the upper front, on top, and upper back of the skull. SO the hair will fall out in these areas creating the patterned loss. Starting primarily from the temple area and top back and progressing. In hypothyroidism the hair loss is more random. Hope that helps.
