Thank you CE - I will cut down immediately... I feel sure there is something in it, my nails are such a mess again when I thought my meds were balanced at last...
Ahhhh, thank you honey - that took the leg-work out of it...Thanks!
I bustled off and googled.
Here's a link to an article that puts it in perspective.

I'm going to carry on with kale, rotated with spinach, probably 5 days a week.
I should have started at the top of the page... 
Thanks!

It won't do you anything but good a few times a week, I'm sure, but it blocks my hypothyroid meds apparently, so if you have a thyroid problem it's not good to eat too much apparently... spinach, broccoli and green tea too... mind you, that information came from an American source, not UK... have to keep researching maybe...
Apparently, there is research going on into the connection between thyroid problems and diabetes... it would seem as though they are linked somehow... a lack of balance in the body over a long period maybe?
You are so good...
I am so disorganised and spend more time packing and unpacking and catching up with all the animals to remember to do stuff like that... that's my excuse for being feeble, anyway...
Do you take levothyroxine? Until recently I could get Eltroxin in Saudi, which is natural, not synthetic, but I can't seem to get it any more.. I have never managed to get balanced since I had to start taking the levothyroxine they give me in the UK... we had such a lot of trouble in Bahrain with hooky drugs coming from India and Pakistan that I decided to ask the NHS for mine, to be safe... I have ulcerative colitis too, and that's auto-immune... since the day I started low-carbing in October I have never had a day's illness with it - and it has plagued my life constantly until then, since I was a teenager... amazing, isn't it? The deadly carbs I suppose...
I do indeed! Usually Erfa and/or Nature-throid, wonderful little pills!
Really? That sound interesting... I'd be much happier doing things naturally... I never mind paying for my own meds, but it's finding the right thing that's the difficult part.... I'm away such a lot it's the only way I can do things often... I have sent for supplies for my meter to be delivered out here as I cannot find them anywhere... Bless you Amazon...
What a prompt answer - thank you Totto... I will research immediately... I am on 125mcg at the moment - I have only had a sort of balance since last year - it took 15 years to get there...
I looked up Erfa and found this - it is alarming and maybe you should check your batch numbers Totto?
Hi Susikav, yes I did see it but I think mine are the old formula, I haven't had any problems yet anyway.
