So much...brave, brave, brave, brave beautiful post. So much to say on this one! <br /><br />I too may have been made more ill by soya. I spent quite a lot of money over about 18 months before I was diagnosed hypothyroid, tryng to sort out my fatigue and general wobbly health "the natural way". I was seeing a naturopath who turned out not to be qualified (lesson there, check credentials then check again) and never once suggested my thyroid might be causing my problems, when my doctor diagnosed it her response was to suggest some iodine and glandular filled supplements that she clearly did not know very much about at all (only because of my own research did I know that iodine can be not good for autoimmune hypothyroidism!!!) Anyway for 18 months I was following her advice to drink soya rather than dairy. did that make me more ill than I might have been otherwise? Well I'll never know will I!!<br /><br />Like you I tend not to express anger at the situation. I have a sunny disposition, I prefer to look on the bright side and celebrate what I've got, which is a lot. <br /><br />I'm doing a lot of work right now on self love and forgiveness, I didn't think I needed to, I've always liked myself and thought I'd forgiven everyone I needed to for past issues. But looking at all that stuff again I'm finding it (I THINK) more healing than getting wound up about the situation. If I sit with myself and consider what I need to forgive myself for, being too trusting in the above situation is one, being a failure in my career because of my physical frailty is another. I have forgiven the naturopath because while she was making good money and maybe on a bit of an ego trip, I actually believe she was doing her best and motivated to heal.<br /><br />but uncovering where we have lurking resentments, towards ourselves and others (and realising that they can creep back and sit there v. quietly even when we think they're dealt with...so doing this regularly....might just be a productive exercise! <br /><br />Anyway, that's where my focus is right now. So lovely to be connected with and share with you. <br /><br />Your sister will have a wonderful day and you will be an important part of it, I have no doubt. Love yourself this day. :)Thyroid Hope - Lorraine Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14391824802740895249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734714932801041464.post-11281661632375351402011-04-08T10:23:56.155+10:002011-04-08T10:23:56.155+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02964527872459898774noreply@blogger.com
