Thanks Doc

Little is said about Hypothroidism in patients who for whatever reason are forced to quit, either for lack of access or natural disaster. I remember as a younger person, in rural communities, there was always that one or two older person with an inflamed thyroid.

My father had his removed, (burned out, radioactive iodine drink), when he was in his early 40's. His heart rate before treatment at the rest was 140 bpm. After treatment and suppliment, a tender 56 bpm.

I believe my plan in the near future is to locate other sources of medication, aside from Wal Mart, Walgreens or the doc's office.

I have been studing the efficacy of many household meds, after 1 year, (stored in dry cool places), most retain a reliable strength of 85%, can I assume that is correct?
