I do have thyroid problem, my body temperature has always been on the low side (to be honest, I never checked my paulse rate in the past) however, I will do it on a regular basis from now on. Since you mentioned the thyroid supplements, for the longest time I was taking Kelp from Iodine from Natural Factors (650mg) about a month ago I switched over to the brand from Swiss 1000mg since I couldn't fine my regular brand. That's when my dizzy spells started, maybe it's more accurate to say about a month ago. I will defenetaly go back to my old brand and see if I can notice any difference in my overall health. I do eat a lot of vegetable but not so many of the root vegetables, I do eat a lot of the romaine lettuce, boston, endive, escarole, swiss chards, the odd time brocoli and cauliflower, I do eat a lot of fresh fruits and for the added fiber I drink orange juice from concentrate. I don't eat nuts because they don't agree with me. Also I've been on a salt free diet for over 20 years now. Yesterday, my doctor told me to add salt to my cooking, needless to say last night I had a very hard time sleeping. I was itchy all over, was ressless, I do believe that it was from the table salt I had used; maybe if I use seal salt I wouldn't get the same reaction or would I? Thanks for your valuable information and help. Clelia
