Re: Update on Nephew Thyroid Situation

Chiron, HV, Mama...

Tx for your responses. I offloaded much of what I needed to say already. Needed to...

Chiron... your quote "The spiritual component of thyroid issues is said to be something like the distortion (in thought and emotion) of "when is it going to be MY trun/time"?

Yes, that is very true. We are working to keep ourselves aware. Study study study. And listen to the body.


HV, you posed an environmental idea. I have my own theory, and it is very strong, but I run the risk of getting ridiculed for it so I am holding it close to the vest. You are right when you say this kind of cancer is highly unusual. We live in Colorado. In this area, they do not add fluoride to the water for instance. But the nutritional choices that the family has made since before the children were born are what really draw my attention. For Mother's Day, there was a take out, eat in buffet at the grandparents house and there it was, on a platter, as it has been for 18 years. I think the kids, who have developed a real passion for this food source, to it being beyond obsession, have been a transport for heavy metals, specifically mercury. And in a young, developing endocrine system, well... that is just were I have been musing about what may have contributed to this condition. And, there is a younger child coming along and, well... I am being purposely obtuse about it... but it has to do with heavy metals packed into a food. That is my theory.


MamaCat, thank you for your kind response. Obviously, I am conflicted about all this. I began speaking up 1 1/2 years before the diagnosis because I knew there was something wrong. And once that was made, the choice to go full hog into a singular medical choice was not surprising, but so much time has been lost when other protocols could have been employed. I would float things right to where I would get my head bitten off, but I wish I had pressed harder. I feel like I let the kid down. Not that I am right. That isn't the point. It was and is to provoke thought. Ideas. Thinking. There is finally some movement on that front via as you said... fear. Their little boy will be in ICU for almost a week post surgery. What they are realizing is that are caught in a domino series of medical issues. And that they have to make changes.


Anyway, I appreciate all the response. Gave me a chance to offload some angst.
