Hi everyone, My name is Kelsey and I am 17 years old. I have been suffering from what I think are thyroid symptoms for almost four years now, although my tests (and doctors) assure me I am fine. I was always very small and very active growing up. I ran cross country and track for most of my...

I have heard, through friends, of a natural path dr it my area that scans for heavy metals and toxins. I am curious if anyone with HT has any...
