Hello and thank you for asking on HCM! Levothyroxine is a thyroid hormone replacement medication. Taking thyroid pills is the only way to treat hypothyroidism. I do not think there are any alternatives to it. “The key is to ensure that one is getting the right dose”. It varies from person to person and that’s why typically the medication comes in a variety of strengths such as 25, 50, 75, 88, 100, 112, 125, 137, 150, 200 and 300 mcg. Most people however will need about 100-125 mcg daily. In addition to clinical findings, blood tests are very useful in determining the dose. The goal is to keep the TSH between 0.4 to 2 and free T4 levels on the high normal side. It is important to note that in select circumstances the dose of thyroid medication

The author Azeez Farooki MD in “Hypothyroidism: What You Should Know about Your Treatment”, focused on the drug levothyroxine which replaces the thyroid hormone that is not being produced in the body of people with hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is very common and it affects more than 27 million people and mostly women and elderly. Levothyroxine is a synthetic medication and some people that take it have a more difficult time tolerating it or absorbing it the traditional way. The doctor might be able to prescribe a more natural “pure” levothyroxine formula to those people. The symptoms of hypothyroidism are very similar to many other diseases which sometimes can be overlooked and people become undiagnosed. It’s important to keep great communication with the doctor to have success in treatment. The treatment is usually a lifelong situation and the doctor
“Bucks in six”, Brandon Jennings once infamously declared, as the 8th seeded Bucks were headed to face LeBron James and the Big Three of the Miami Heat in the playoffs. Unfortunately for Brandon, and myself as a Bucks fan, this bold declaration amounted to nothing, as the Heat promptly swept the Bucks and went on to win the NBA championship that year. These were also Jennings’s final games as a Buck, as in the off-season, he was traded to the Detroit Pistons for Brandon Knight and Khris Middleton. Perhaps the Bucks front office had the same belief that I hold, that actions speak louder than words.
Hello good afternoon class, my report is on Ayahuasca or also known as Yage. It was first discovered by the people who lived in the Amazon, but the first outsiders were European Jesuits who were passing by the Amazon in 1737, they described it as an intoxicating poison that was ingested for knowledge. They called it a diabolical poison. The word Ayahuasca means “vine of the soul” and “vine with a soul. This is an amazonian drug that alters the states of unconsciousness. It is a jungle tea made from the Banisteriopsis caapi vine mixed with chacruna, these two are mashed together. Some may think that this drug will make you hallucinate but in reality it makes you unconscious, like I said before it alters the state of unconsciousness. It is not the drug itself that makes this happen but it's what it contains. Since Ayahuasca is mixed with
So what is codeine? Codeine is a sleep-inducing and analgesic drug derived from morphine, which according to the Drug and Alcohol Foundation is a part of a group of drugs known as opioids. Opioids are depressant drugs, which means they slow down the messages travelling between the brain and the body. Other opioids include heroin, morphine and oxycodone. Could you image a world where you can buy drugs legally? Where something like Heroin was readily available on the shelf at pharmacies for you to purchase? It wouldn’t happen, so why should Codeine be any different, as they are both in the same classification of opioids.

I would like to raise an issue to your attention about the dangerous drug, codeine. This opiate painkiller has ravaged the lives of many due to its many negative symptoms and because of the fact that it is highly addictive. I am writing you this letter so as to persuade you and your department to place this chemical on the national banned chemical list. Codeine binds to receptors in the brain, specifically the opioid receptors, the receptors responsible for transmitting the sensation of pain. Doing this allows codeine to increase to body’s resistance to pain and lessens discomfort.
Ten minutes ago you were just running for your life, bullets threatening to pierce your flesh. Motorcycles aren't exactly the safest way of transportation on Pandora, more like a target actually.
Imagine waking up one morning with big brown blisters all in the inside of mouth, a huge purple bruise on the side of your stomach from going head first down the slide, and being the age of 8. Without knowing what was going on, I ran to my parents room petrified and baffled. Still having to go to school in order to take the EOG’s. Scared that everyone would notice the gruesome blisters in my mouth, I didn’t talk. Whenever I got to the doctor they immediately sent me to Asheville missions hospital where I stayed a night. There at the hospital I learned that I had ITP caused by a low platelets account. Every 2 weeks I had to travel back and forth and sometimes staying there for 4 to 6 hours just to have blood transfusions. Later on my parents would

Attention getter statement: Toothpaste: We use toothpaste to brush our teeth everyday (hopefully). We here in America love to have white teeth and from the time we are very young, we are told by our parents and our dentists that we need to brush twice daily with fluoride in order to prevent cavities. But what if I told you that toothpaste was poisonous?
I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.
