What I am about to share is a long read, but this could be very important for someone who has congestive heart failure, hypothyroidism, type 2 Diabetes or a damaged liver. That covers half of our [US] population.]
Whew, Clutter, how much did ALL those treatments cost? I'm not sure how practical it is for the average person but it is good to know it can be done. It reminds us that any pharmaceutical you are prescribed will do you some harm. I have often thought about hypothyroidism in the elderly and wonder if it is bypassed entirely and treat symptoms without realizing they are hypo symptoms. Same problem younger patients often have.
A heartwarming story and an eye-opener too. The fact that someone who is interested in why another person who has more than one disease and is more than written off because he has reached 'old age' can be helped enormously with care and consideration and holistic treatments.
Researching congestive heart disease & thyroid, good article but not quite enough facts, but there is a definite correlation. Would an 86 year old give up their care to an individual non-family member, I suppose so if doctors had given up on them.
