Hello list, I have spent the better part of the week reading the archives.  So much info, so little time LOL.  Anyhow, my story is that I've had Hashis Hypothyroid for about 8 years (sorry, the memory was one of the first to go, but thats pretty close).  While I'm one of the lucky few who has responded pretty well to Synthroid; I'm at least tolorable, but not optimal.

One of the more interesting details I've gleaned from the board is the comments about avoiding fluroide.  I'm beginning to think that may be the problem for recent set backs.  However, research seems to indicate I'm going to be SOL, as I don't see it possible to completely stay away from it.  While I can replace toothpaste (not many choices); and can (and have) replaced drinking water; I think its going to require reverse osmosis to resolve all cooking issues.  That still leaves the major issues of bath water; it certainly is not cost effective to RO the whole house.  The research indicates fluride is very easily absorbed through the skin; and I know for a fact that my system readily accepts skin absorbtion of many things.

Not really expecting any answers to this problem, but thought I would throw it out there to see if anyone has given any thought to it.  I suppose I could buy gallons of distilled to bathe in, but that could get pretty costly fast.

Anyhow, keep up the good work, I look forward to monitoring the messages and perhaps adding a few foods for thought myself.

Linda
