Armour Thyroid Information for Hashimotos

Interesting information linking gut health to thyroid hormone absorption.

"Animal studies have shown that
levothyroxine (T4) is only partially
absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The
degree of absorption is dependent on the vehicle
used for its administration and by
the character of the intestinal contents, the intestinal flora,
including plasma protein, and soluble dietary factor
s, all of which bind thyroid and thereby make
it unavailable for diffusion."

Dollars for Docs

ProPublica has compiled the disclosed payments from pharma companies to doctors and other health care providers. Search for your doctor in our interactive database.

Not all doctors are bad and have been bought. This is a database of kickbacks physicians received from pharmaceutical companies until July 2014. You can't judge all based on these numbers. An oncologists is logically going to have higher numbers, as they should.
There are concerns when a family doctor, pediatrician or endocrinologist has higher numbers.
Practices like the kickback program as well as direct consumer marketing by the pharmaceutical companies are illegal in all other countries but the US yet we are one of the sickest first world countries on the planet.

Vaccines Cause Allergies – Dr. Dave Mihalovic

By Dr. Dave Mihalovic   Prevent Disease.com June 8, 2012 ‘Recent evidence indicates that routine childhood vaccinations contribute to the emergence of chronic allergic problems such as eczema…

My son was 12 weeks old, exclusively breastfed and completely healthy. He didn't even have a sniffle. I ate a somewhat clean diet (low in processed grains, high in protein). He received his first (and only) DTAP on a Monday, by Wednesday he had developed a croupy cough, watery eye and drippy nose. Over the next 6 months he lagged behind developmentally and his symptoms worsened. We had several doctors tell us 'You live in West Texas, he has allergies, you'll just have to learn to live with it. We finally found a doctor who decidedo to do an IGG Elisa allergy test on him. It required 3 vials of blood being taken. The results came back showing allergies to 56 different foods, the most the doctor had ever seen
Within 1 week of cutting the 56 foods from my diet and his (he was still breastfeeding), his symptoms went away 100%, he started baby talking and crawling. I'm convinced the vaccine caused it.
The Peanut Allergy Epidemic by Heather Fraser also outlines a stong connection between vaccines and allergies.
