The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect:  Crying Wolf?  by Dr. Guy E. Abraham, M.D. - Dr. Abraham explains how medical iodine-phobia came about - through the efforts of two UC-Berkeley Scientists just after World War II.  Dr. Abraham says, "The most effective way to destroy a nation is to remove iodine from the food supply.  The W-C effect resulted in the removal of iodine from the food supply and most likely caused more misery and death in the US than both world wars combined due to its negative impact on iodine consumption by the US population and on the use of inorganic, non-radioactive iodine in medical practice."

Thyroid Disorders

        Dear Doctors:  A Letter From Your Former Patient - From About.com: Thyroid Disease

This is a heartwrenching, but all too familiar, story about a patient's misdiagnosis.   Anyone who has been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, depression, Restless Leg Syndrome, Ovarian Cysts, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, costochondritis, Wilson's Syndrome, etc. needs to read this patient's account of how so many doctors missed the obvious signs of her disease.   It emphasizes the point that you need to trust your own instincts when it comes to treating your health problems.   Do your own research and don't be afraid to seek a second (or third) medical opinion!
