How long have you had it? What are you taking to treat your hypothyroid? Me, I take synthroid every day.

I’m wondering if there is anybody out there that controls their hypothyroid strictly with diet?

I wonder what she takes for her treatment as being hyper and then hypothyroid myself, I’ve been struggling to get back on full recovery :(

One thing to consider about Oprah is that she tackles serious issues that I would not ever deem to be entertainment. I guess that’s why I don’t put her show in that category. Take for example: Her molestation shows. To me that is responsible reporting and people do look to Oprah to get it right because she is such a highly responsible individual.

I don’t argue with that angela, but her ability to be responsible is limited by the venue, the amount of time, and choices of the experts, not by a lack of trying. It is amazing too how one can read the same event and see a completely different twist on it depending on which national or international news outlet is reporting it. It is one of the reasons I do not rely on one source for news or any kind of information really.

I don’t take issue w/your opinion. You make good points. However, for me this just goes back to being responsible for what you do w/a story.

Hey I am not knocking Oprah. I used to watch Oprah, but she is still an entertainment show, albiet better than a lot out there, but in the end I would never rely on an entertainment show to get solid facts about an issue. There is only so much she can cover on her show and her experts are limited to those who are tv worthy for an entertainment show, those who are flogging a book, those whose view is limited to their own agenda/style of training, etc. I didn’t watch the show so I am not in a position to claim there was any misinformation, but I bet there was a lack of scope of information and it was limited to *one* or *two* experts and their opinion. I am just saying that while it is great these shows highlight an issue they cannot really address the whole scope of an issue. I want the opinion of a broad range of doctors/scientists who are actively researching and working in the field and don’t have time to do talk shows or flog a book.
