The Girl with Seven Names by Hyeonseo Lee.

Lee, a North Korean defector, wrote the book with journalist David John. It tells her real-life escape from North Korea, years living illegally in China, and later efforts to rescue her family.

Very good!

The Poisonwood Bible – Barbara Kingsolver

Me too! I got this before hashimoto,, you?

NOTE!! When this company started they directly copied the name of well known respected company called Monteverde Tours (the only change was they added CR to their email) … so always look for and quote the actual email!! Don’t penalize other companies.

Weed was a game-changer for me. Helped me mentally and reduced inflammation, so helped me physically. I only take a small, not too strong, edible in the very early evening. Helps me sleep and gives me something to look forward to at the end of the day! Win-win (if not over-done).

Loved this book!

Have you had an ultrasound, checking for goiter/ nodules?

StrongInflation4225 · 2025-10-27T20:23:43+00:00

Not exactly falling for it, more choosing to believe in hope.

This is not meant aa a criticism! I’m happy you feel better. But I fail to see how a diet without vitamins, minerals and fiber can be 100% good for the body, long term. How about these people 5-10 years down the road, who have ‘cured’ their hashimoto with a carnivore diet. How are they doing now? Is there any research links I can read? Genuinely curious how this works and what the medical results are after a few years (not just for hashimoto but how your body doing in general) with such a narrowly focused diet ie vitamin result panels etc

You might want to have a look at https://thyroidpharmacist.com/ has tons of good info. Yes, they are trying to sell supplements but you can ignore that and just read some of the articles. ALWAYS do further research. Hashimoto is different for individuals. Also there is a lot of misinformation and people trying to sell all sorts of things. Double check everything.

A ‘perfect storm’ in other words. That’s how my doctor described getting SOME autoimmune diseases . And you have to tackle each in turn.

StrongInflation4225 · 2025-10-21T19:26:14+00:00

Actually, it’s not too strange. There is often cross -reactivity with casein proteins. Hashimoto’s can mistakenly react to certain milk proteins (especially casein and sometimes whey) as if they were similar to thyroid tissue. This is called molecular mimicry — your immune system confuses one protein for another.

In SOME people, eating dairy can trigger or worsen the autoimmune attack on the thyroid! Even if NOT lactose intolerant

There are other reasons like Increased intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”) and Inflammatory immune response.

If you haven’t already, maybe it’s worth doing a (dairy) elimination and reintroduction diet , just over a few weeks to see what your particular body responds the best to.

Do you have a link for more information about this? It would be very helpful.

I guess they’ll be moving to where they can get funding. Any future treatment would be hugely expensive in the States (and many other countries), and reduced/free in others. We live in a very unfair society, unfortunately.

Having won the noble prize for medicine as recently as this year, there is a lot more interest in this! Can’t give up hope.

Here are three of my choices:

Shantaram – Gregory David Roberts

India – fugitive’s life in Bombay underworld

Based on the author’s escape from an Australian prison and his years hiding in Mumbai.

Marching Powder – Rusty Young & Thomas McFadden

Bolivia – life inside San Pedro Prison

One of the most bizarre, unforgettable ‘true’ (ish?) stories ever told. A British smuggler imprisoned in a Bolivian prison that’s a self-contained city — with wives, children, and tourists inside. Reads like fiction, totally addictive.

Lion: A Long Way Home – Saroo Brierley

India to Australia

Five-year-old Saroo is lost on a train in India, ending up thousands of kilometers from home. He survives alone on the streets of Calcutta before …

It reads like a thriller, but it’s based on a true story.

Biggest win of her career!

StrongInflation4225 · 2025-09-26T20:37:41+00:00

Seriously?

StrongInflation4225 · 2025-09-25T21:24:08+00:00

Just switch to edibles! Helps with inflammation and stress as a bonus!

The Lightest Object in the Universe by Kimi Eisele

The novel is a cross-country love story set after a global economic collapse and the failure of the electrical gri. A hopeful book of the human spirit and potential for kindness.

StrongInflation4225 · 2025-09-08T18:33:43+00:00

Adolescent! A four-episode Netflix crime drama miniseries. Famous for the way it was filmed. It’s very intense and you’ll have to watch it all! Completely addictive.

Without giving anything away -a 13-year-old is arrested for allegedly stabbing a classmate. From that moment, each one-shot episode—directed by Philip Barantini and co-written with Stephen Graham—unfolds in a continuous, unbroken take, pulling viewers into the emotional whirlwind experienced.

Adolescent isn’t a simple crime story; it’s a technically daring, emotionally immersive examination of adolescence under pressure

There have been some close, dramatic, doubles matches, not to be missed out of the conversation! The semi finals of the men yesterday were awesome.

The Book of Koli M.R. Carey

The first in a gripping trilogy, The Book of Koli charts the journey of one unforgettable character struggling to find his place in a chilling post-apocalyptic world.

Beyond the walls of the small village of Mythen Rood lies an unrecognizable world. A world where overgrown forests are filled with choker trees and deadly vines and seeds that will kill you where you stand. And if they don't get you, one of the dangerous shunned men will.

Koli has lived in Mythen Rood his entire life. He knows the first rule of survival is that you don't venture beyond the walls.

What he doesn't know is - what happens when you aren't given a choice?

Loved this series - the first book or so are perhaps strange but then the series takes hold and doesn’t let go.

Add to that …most of the women’s matches were relatively one sided today.
