Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 So today I turn over a new leaf. I'm going to make sure I eat something raw before lunch no matter what. I grab a few leaves of red cabbage to much on in the AM. Now by 4:30 I know I've sabatagoged my thyroid. Well at least now I won't have an guilt when I don't want to eat the raw brocolli and cauliflower when it's on a buffet. Eating healthy is a science. Thanks, JoAnn!!!!

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Every thing I like to eat! I am taking natural thyroid supplement. After all the floride treatments as a child and the city water...no wonder!
