I used to be on Armour Thyroid but it became impossible to get in the UK, and horrendously expensive if you could get it. I have been on 125 mcm Levothyroxine for about 10 years now, which is not brilliant but just about keeps my T4 and T3 within range. Perhaps you could write about...
And then I began to have difficulty breathing. It could have been dust mite particles in the air or even mold in the house that was affecting my lungs— something made it difficult for me to breathe. My lungs felt heavy, my chest felt tight, and I began to wheeze. It was exhausting....

Beta-carotene, the precursor of vitamin A was first used clinically in the wake of the Chernobyl nuclear accident in treatment of children from the region. Supplementation reduced the amount of radiation-induced oxidized lipids.85More controlled animal studies showed that vitamin A could reverse radia...
have personally been a fan, volunteer and a supporter of NRDC for decades. Earlier work with NRDC took me to Post-Chernobyl Russia and Belarus to support communities in an independent radiation monitoring program – at a time the old USSR (under which it was illegal for citizens to possess ...
Its chain reaction is much closer to what happens in a nuclear bomb and it doesn't work through a moderator. That's why a fast-breeder reactor could, theoretically, run out of control and cause a nuclear explosion. Photo: Nuclear nightmare: In the days following the Chernobyl nuclear power...
The latter two options were favored by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, who counseled the use of thethreatof nuclear weapons to counter Soviet military force. He argued that having resolved the problem of military defense, the free world “could undertake what has been too long delayed—...
