Significant difference

I'm here to share my story about they hypothyroidism. I was diagnosed by my Naturopath. I had gone to my Primary Care Physician with my symptoms, and they wanted to prescribe all kinds of stimulants and suggested I speak with a counselor. They never once tested for a thyroid issue, they never even took a blood test for anything. My Naturopath did, and she diagnosed me with Hypothyroidism. She prescribe a naturally derived form of treatment, and I was started on it, it was absolutely amazing the significant difference in my overall health and energy levels. I was also low on Vitamin D and we addressed that as well. For a number of years, my health insurance covered this medication for me, then one day, they said it was no longer available. I went back to my Naturopath and she sent in a prescription to a local pharmacy, unfortunately, my insurance does not cover it because it isn't an in-house pharmacy. They changed me over to a standard, drug, Levothyroxine, the difference was subtle initially, but it got worse and worse as time went on, finally, I had to go back to my naturopath and get the natural version of NP Thyroid. Now I've learned that Big Pharma is trying to completely ban boi-identical hormones. Perhaps others are doing fine on the artificially made stuff, but I don't, and I know there are others who don't. Additionally, I prefer to go organic and holistic on everything I can that is ingested or used on my body. I am 65 years old, but you wouldn't know it to see me and how I work on my farm and with my small business. I have plenty of energy and no illnesses in years, knock on wood that continues. Don't let it happen!
