One year in Australia and my chronic thyroid disease has resolved itself and my endocrinologist has successfully pulled me off medication.

I have Questions.
@hacks4pancakes
Hmmm I have reduced my TPO autoantibodies by taking Selenium but it seems unlikely this would happen naturally as Australian soils are deficient in Selenium. How curious! I wonder if vitamin D could be a factor. -
@hacks4pancakes Leaving the US has also helped me recover to where I no longer need certain daily meds. Congratulations, and here's to a better future!
@pmbrent @hacks4pancakes Congratulations to both of you
️ May I ask why this happened? I‘ve Never been to the US, but it doesn‘t seem to be a healthy place at all

@hacks4pancakes A thank you to living in Australia.

@hacks4pancakes It's so frustrating how things like mental health and dentistry have systemic effects, but social systems for them frequently don't exist even in countries with free or low-cost public healthcare systems. :S

@gusseting I’ve been battling hashimotos for ten years. I almost died.
@hacks4pancakes
@gusseting I'm glad you didn't die, and would humbly request further not dying. -
Reminds me of when I lived in mountain view, CA. After a bit of living there, my gut was EXTREMELY unhappy. I started to binary search my diet. Lo and behold, I started running all of my water in my apartment (yes, even cooking water) through a filter and I was cured. It didn't affect my apartment-mates or friends, just me. So weird. I had confirmation when I accidentally drank tap water at a friend's place and the symptoms came back.
Something in the water out there just hit me wrong.

That's weird, because Mountain View's water is mostly Hetch-Hetchy, i.e., mostly snow melt (this was a thing I "knew", I double-checked, 87%): https://www.mountainview.gov/our-city/departments/public-works/water-and-sewer-services/water/our-water-sources -

Pretty much every American is medicated. ADHD (speed) is common. So are anti depressants & anti anxiety meds. We don't have healthcare & copay for meds even when we have coverage through a job. In addition, where it's legal we have cannabis dispensaries. They are one of the only new businesses that does well here. Capitalism is abusive. We need drugs to feel even semi ok about the exploitation & suffering.

@FranceskaMann @hacks4pancakes @pmbrent Wow, thanks a lot for the explanation
And that makes me truly sad. Profits at the cost of healthcare

@hacks4pancakes Yay!

What do you think did the difference? Water? Med System?
