Another video experience with Hashimoto's

The patient talks about her experience with Hashimoto's disease.
It seems like she needs more education about her condition

Was there another video to watch?  I could only find 2 of them and neither mentioned HCG?

We do have another member who also posts occasionally in another forum, who swears by HCG.  

I know that human growth hormone declines as we get older (grown?); it doesn't really make sense to keep taking it when our levels have naturally dropped.......

What am I missing here?

I have read that HCG is a no-no with Hashis yet a lot of people will still take it due to weight gain.
There was a big writeup here in Australia about it and also the actor Mel Gibson being on it ..causing lots of problems healthwise.
Apparently it has changed his whole mood and he is very aggressive while taking it.
A lot of people take it for muscle building (basically using it instead of a steroid).
I wouldnt touch it myself.....it is a human growth hormone that can cause irreversable damage to your body.
Great posting!

That's right the high levels of HCG may have connection with nodule formation
