Dear Trish,

>   I am going to see a
>surgeon for a consultation next week.

Please don't have surgery. This diet will work for you. Please go through
the archives and read the testimonials of many people who have their health
back using diet and not surgery.
You need your thyroid.

All the best,
Susan

Japan has one of the lowest incidences of goiter because they eat a lot of
fish and kelp and not much refined food.
