Government Continues to Pay Damages for Injuries and Deaths Due to the Flu Vaccine in Vaccine Court

While seldom, if ever, reported in the mainstream media, every week cases of vaccine injuries and deaths are litigated in the U.S. vaccine court known as the

This is a real thing. Our daughter had a hypotonic-hyporesponsive reaction to the Dtap at 7 months. She had a seizure and stopped breathing 5 hours after receiving the vaccine. At the time, the chances of that specific reaction was 1 in 1,000. I had no idea.
Gut bacteria and genetics play a role in whether or not a child will react to a vaccine. There is a 90% chance that children with the MTHFR gene mutation will react in some way, likely neurological.
France does titer testing on children prior to vaccinating to ensure they are not dosing kids with vaccines they might already have immunity for. Italy is starting to do gut bacteria testing prior to vaccinating. The US needs to catch up rather than assuming all children can and should receive all vaccines.

The Common Root Cause of Hashimoto's, Hives and IBS Blastocystis Hominis, H. Pylori, and Yeast Over Growth

When I first set out to figure out the root cause of my Hashimoto’s, I took an inventory of all of my symptoms, in an effort to find an underlying connection. (I highly suggest that you make your own health timeline to help guide you as well). My heal

A layman's guide to understanding thyroid test results.

Understanding thyroid blood tests - TSH, Free T4, Free T3, antibodies, Reverse T3, etc. - what they test for, reference ranges, and what results mean.

It is possible to understand the science behind your thyroid....

'If your TSH falls within the reference range, and you don't have thyroid symptoms, then there is no reason for concern.

HOWEVER, if your TSH falls within the reference range, and you have thyroid signs and symptoms, a family history of thyroid disease, low levels of the key thyroid hormones (T4/T3), or antibodies, your thyroid may not be "normal."

In other words, if your doctor says your results are normal but you still struggle with hot or cold extremes, hair loss, infertility, polycystic ovarian syndrom, extreme weight gain or loss, depression or ANY autoimmune disease, INSIST on a complete thyroid panel.

Another link between thyroid, fertility (PCOS), gut health and autism.

We still have a long way to go with the medical community recognizing the root causes of infertility and autism but it's encouraging to see progress!

Infertility, Miscarriage, and Subclinical Hypothyroidism

I hope this article finds all the women with hypothyroidism struggling with infertility and miscarriage. By NYC reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Hugh Melnick

I have seen numerous friends spend $20-$30K in expensive fertility treatments after heartbreaking miscarriages when a few simple thyroid tests (anti-tpo specifically) could have likely diagnosed the issue as hypothyroid,hyperthyroid or hashimotos.
I was fortunate to have a doctor who knew to check my thyroid after our first pregnancy loss.

How Government Killed the Medical Profession

I am a general surgeon with more than three decades in private clinical practice. And I am fed up.

I stole this from another user on here. This article is exactly why traditional endocrinology doesn't work any longer. Patients are being dosed with higher and higher doses of synthroid and levothyroxine with no real results other than having to be dosed higher due to the body acclimating to higher doses without absorbing and using the medication. Physicians have zero incentive to dig further into why their patients still feel like crap.
It's like they all need to watch House and be inspired again.
