Undetermined as of yet

Today the chiropractor said my thyroid is strong. Two weeks ago the naturopathic doctor said my thyroid was weak, AKA hypothyroidism. Day after tomorrow I talk with the naturopath about strategy regarding thyroid treatment, and what if any tests I want to have him run for me. I have an appointment with an endocrinologist late in July...I don't know if I can wait that long for more information.

The chiropractor used kinesiology (muscle testing) to determine my thyroid condition. Muscles are pretty reliable, in my experience, for determining organ strength...so I'm not sure what's going on...but I am determined to find out.

If you're curious this might be worth while to look at, if nothing else for the elegant illustration:

I also received the lab bill from the hospital for all the blood tests the naturopath wanted for me. About a third to half again what I expected in costs, so the fun begins tomorrow when I find out why they want so much money from me, and whether its all legit or not.            Sigh.    

But wait, there's more!


Also today I received my annual mammogram, and got to see the images from last year's test. The x-ray of my breasts is strangely beautiful (not unlike this sky scape I snapped a few weeks ago) and reassuringly devoid of concentrated matter (no lumps in the gravy of my mammary glands, thank you God).
