I have an average size thyroid nodule in the left half of my thyroid. They are recommending I have half of my thyroid removed. They don't believe that it's cancerous and my levels are all normal except I am producing a little excess thyroid hormone. I would prefer to not have surgery and am worried that I will end up having to take medication afterwards. Does anyone know of any alternatives that may help to shrink my nodule (other than radioactive iodine)?

I have heard certain herbs like Echinacea should only be taken a few months before cold/flu season starts and not everyday all year-round, or otherwise, they are not as effective, as you build up some sort of immunity to its effectiveness.

Is this true for most herbs? Or are there other herbs that can be taken all the time - like Ginseng, Garlic, etc. as a daily supplement for overall health or Milk Thistle/Dandelion to cleanse/detox the liver?

While I am familiar with all of the benefits of herbs, and know about shelf-life, expiration dates, know that the FDA does not approve certain herbs, etc., I am still unclear about long-term use/effects. Can someone please clarify any known long-term use adverse affects of any known herbs?

Thank you in advance for your help/information.

I suspect that I have those silver amalgam fillings (read: mercury, got them 15 years ago) and I'd like to try oil pulling.

What would happen to the fillings? Would they wear away slowly, or pop out?

I am purposely avoiding using the word "depression" because I don't think being diagnosed and "put on meds" is the answer for me.

About six months ago one of my dearest cousins died in a paragliding accident. I had to stop seeing my therapist, because she felt I should be in couples therapy with my husband, and she knew he would not want to pay for both. He always complained about the cost of my therapist, and about the chore of submitting her invoices to our health ins. for reimbursement. We only went to couples therapy once b/cos he complained about the trouble & cost of getting a babysitter so that we could go, as well as the time he felt he could be spending "getting things done".

Now another dear cousin has died unexpectedly and I'm not dealing well. I feel lonely even when I'm with people, and lately I'm avoiding social events because I feel like sleeping. I hug my kids a lot and keep smiling at work, I'm working out when I can, but I need to get out of this funk...
