I find this thread very interesting.  I have had thyroid problems from time
to time, and have resisted the doctors' suggestions for surgery.  Will be
interesting to see what happens as I continue eating the paleo way.  I have
just been eating this way for a couple of weeks and can tell a difference.
Don't know about weight loss yet, although my clothes feel a bit loose.
