Yes, good post - let me mention that I take Algin before and after to help out....I think I just read that it helps with Iodine levels. I hope to post my story soon. Remember that there is always hope - your inner guidance will tell your what to do, but you must discern between the voice of the Holy Spirit and the voice of the Ego... For me, I have come back from being so sick as seeking disability to at least being able to work....
