No. How much does it cost [specify qty] in this country and how much did it cost from the land of baby rape? LOL!!! That was awful, but damned if I didn't laugh. Over my head. Rich is too smart for me. |

Do you ever take, say, aspirin or allergy medicine (zyrtec or similar) or antacid (pepcid or similar) without a prescription? No? Or do you only run to a Dr when something is needed? This stuff is over the counter worldwide save a half dozen countries. I take it when it's needed, same as aspirin or whatever. It's really amazing stuff that US doctors know little about. Thus they won't prescribe. ETA You asked "why take it?" I ask "why not?" Actually other than the 2 medications I am forced to take because I literally will die within a few weeks without them. No, I don't take anything. No aspirin, cold medications, nada....although I am suppose to be taking Prilosec, I don't. I am of a different thought is all Take one, add another because that one gave you this problem, then take some more because of this, then another one for that...never ending cycle... I prefer natural alternative medicine. I listen to my body, try to eat healthy 95% of the time, exercise (although I have sucked at that lately) meditate, yoga, massage, acupuncture, chiropractor if needed and get my sleep. (13 hour work days, sleep is rare) Not saying my way is better, just why poison our bodies anymore than we already do? and as far as running to the doctor the only one I see every 3 months or so is my endocrinologist to make sure my cancer hasn't returned. -I also work for a group that prescribes the medicine you seek, so am very familiar with it-
Glad you are not taking the Prilosec. Proton pump inhibitors are dangerous crap and increase the risk of gastric cancer, heart disease and bone disorders to name a few. Most cancers have been linked to viral infections, although other pathogens cause cancer to a lesser extent such as Helicobacter pylori induced gastric cancer. Therefore full range antimicrobials are a very good idea to help prevent cancer recurrence. You mentioned drugs that are essential so this could mean anti-rejection drugs. If this is the case be careful to avoid herbs with immune stimulating polysaccharides. |

Finally, we think I'm on the "right" dose and a new medication that does not contain fillers. Im a perfect example of one medicaton doesn't fit all and a challenge for my endo. I will not and do not accept well this works for all the other patients with this condition. Won't even go in to all the side effects I experience. I would be here all day. I can't take calcium 4 hours before or after and there's other stuff I avoid as well. Again too long to go into. Unfortunatey these 2 medications cause stomach issues. So yeah me and I have a very large hiatal hernia. So, food choices are extremely vital. Do you know how bad I miss pizza and a good beefsteak tomatoe? If I could go back and leave the thyroid in with the cancer. I probably would and take my chances rather than go thru what I go thru and depend on a pill to make me feel better. We rely way too much on medicine for a quick fix rather than lostening to our bodies.....IMO |

Lol They live in Springfield, but no obvious state or country. And the producers won't answer that particular question. I said that because of the second video above my post. |

How Insulin Became Unaffordable
There are no generic insulins. Over the past twenty years, prices for the most commonly prescribed “analog” insulins have risen from about $20 per vial to well over $250 per 10 mL vial, an over 700% increase after accounting for inflation. In contrast, insulin today costs roughly five dollars per vial to produce. With deductibles far outpacing wages, insulin has become unaffordable even for well-off Americans.
On a shoestring budget at the University of Toronto, several young scientists began investigating a possible treatment in 1921—they found that by grinding up and purifying animal pancreases, and then regularly injecting the material, they could treat Type 1 diabetes in dogs. After first testing the drug for safety by injecting themselves, the scientists treated a 14-year-old boy with Type 1 diabetes. His recovery was almost miraculous, going from death’s door to good health in a matter of weeks.
By 1923, the scientists had won the Nobel prize and the treatment had entered mass production in collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company and the Swedish organization Nordisk. The scientists patented the drug and sold it to the University of Toronto for three dollars (one dollar for each researcher), thinking that this was the best way to ensure that affordable treatment would be available to everyone who needed it.

Did you ever live up that way? Never lived up there. However, an interesting thing is the number of thyroid cancer cases there is in my hometown of Brainerd, MN. Including my mom, aunt, cousins and some friends. Makes you wonder???
I fought to have T3 added. He wasn't going to do it. The side effects on the heart are pretty significant so he was hesitant to add it. I am more "normal" now but have increased my heart disease risk and am being sent to Cardio. Damned if you do, damned if you don't right?
Thyroid and surrounding tissue was stage 3 papillary, 21 lymph nodes removed as well. Has a nasty habit of spreading and they don't consider us cancer free until 10 years. Had radioactive iodine therapy as well. If there was another way Id love to hear it as my daughter also has nodules and is being watched. I don't ever want her to go through this

I used to collect chaga up in Reno when I would spend my summers up there on the ranch. Was hoping to go look last time I was in Reno for Christmas but did not get a chance. Great stuff to keep on hand for viral infections as well due to the betulinic acid that is highly antiviral. One of the same main reasons it is also anticancer. |

Immune system support is why I started taking it. That and local honey. The immune system is not a singular thing and so there is no single immune support. Medicinal mushrooms mainly stimulate white blood cell activity due to the immune stimulating polysaccharides. Sometimes they contain other beneficial compounds such as chaga has its antiviral betulinic acid. Turkey tail mushrooms are the highest mushroom source of anticancer organic germanium (Bis betacarboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide), which is not the same thing as the toxic germanium dioxide sometimes fraudulently sold as organic germanium. Other components of immunity include the flora, stomach acid, the various cytokines, the various white blood cells that also involves the bone marrow and lymphatic system, the adrenals, etc. Honey is a very high source of pantothenic acid that supports adrenal function that is a major component of immune function. |

Turkey tail mushrooms are common in California as well. Sunlight is my first choice for vitamin D. But there is so much more to vitamin D. There are actually over 20 forms of vitamin D, but we are only interested in vitamin D2, inactive D3 and active D3. D2 is inactive and is found in plants and is the cheap crap they add to milk in a poor attempt to prevent the milk from causing bone loss. Doesn't work. Vitamin D2 can be converted in to inactive D3 in the body provided the liver is functioning properly. Then inactive D3 can be converted in to active D3 by the kidneys if they are functioning properly. If getting vitamin D from sun it takes about 15 minutes of full body exposure to meet vitamin D requirements. So you can either streak on sunny days for 15 minutes or increase your exposure time for less body exposure. Full spectrum "sun lamps" are also great for this. Now there are D3 supplements, in which I recommend no more than 2,000IU daily as vitamin D is stored in the body and also happens to be a pro-hormone. Safety of higher doses has not been established and there are risks of megadoses including possibly cancer and hypercalcemia, which can itself lead to numerous problems such as mental fogginess, high blood pressure, constipation, heart arrhythmias, muscle cramps/spasms, etc. Vitamin D3 supplements though are also only inactive D3 since active D3 from raw material suppliers is outrageously expensive. So the supplements will not do much if any good if there is kidney impairment. The other issue is that some people cannot absorb D3 supplements properly due to intestinal issues that occur from conditions such as cystic fibrosis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's and people who have had their gallbladders removed. In these cases taking the vitamin D with lecithin can help by making the vitamin D water soluble, which will aid in absorption. 39 years in medicine, 29 of which has been primarily in holistic medicine. I spend a whole lot of time doing research from medical journals as I also frequently teach private classes on the topic. For GERD yes. In your case though it is probably primarily from the hiatal hernia so that need to be addressed: medcapsules.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2632 |

That is awesome!!! I wish more people would get into natural approaches to healing or at least try it. Not sure the Gerd is all related to the Hiatal Hernia. I am going to ask my Chiro if he has worked on them. (thank you for that tip) 13 hours inside, I don't get a lot of time to get sun. Plus being Minnesotan I've inherited the white, MAJOR BURN, turn white again. So I tend to limit my time in the sun anyways. (Streaking is out for sure-that would be a scary sight) I've been deficient since the thyroid came out- as is my B-keep being told it isn't linked, but I don't believe it isn't.
