Kleo in 12 1/2 now, getting up there in years. We noticed she'd lost some weight on her last Vet visit in May and just brought her back in to see if she'd lost more weight. She had. She'd lost almost a pound, a lot for a cat in just a few months. Her thyroid levels had gone down in those months and while they are borderline we're waiting on the results of another thyroid test to see if that's what is causing the loss. Getting old sucks. :(

Thyroid Follow-Up
Normally I wouldn’t include a picture of a building (and one snapped hastily from my car as I left!), but I have to give a shout out to Dr. Cecily Kelly and the Kelly Family Clinic staff. I was there last Friday for a quick thyroid follow-up and blood test. I had my thyroid gland removed in 2015 because I had thyroid nodules with precancerous Hurthle cells changes. Ever since, Dr. Kelly checks my thyroid levels every six months to see if I need any medication adjustments (which I didn’t this time). Dr. Kelly is a wonderful general practitioner and sees my entire family. I spent a little time talking about my hair loss (ugh, over half my volume in a year!) and the rest of the time filling her in on my mom and Anna. I adore her.
Increased rate of thyroid cancer was found in children from 4 to 15 years years after Chernobyl, in Cities up to 300 miles distant.
See for example
Nature 9/92: Thyroid Cancer 7.5 years after Chernobyl, soaring
Summary: fallout from Chernobyl "on schedule" despite Official "No Danger" Myths

Girls and those particularly young at the time of exposure are higher at risk, in cities at about 200 miles from Chernobyl particularly in Belarus, with incidences decreasing to 5 cases a year at 300 miles away. The the number of cases of thyroid cancer in children in the Belarus town of Gomel,population about 50,0000, 90 North miles from Chernoby went from one or two cases a year to peak at 38 cases in 1991 5 years after the accident. At the time of the above paper, 1 child had died, 7 were seriously ill of whom 6 had metastases mostly to the lungs.
A slight increase in adult thyroid cancer was found 1400 miles away in Cumbria the UK but it is difficult to pin down its cause.
According to the famous map by De Cort et al. (1998) there were significantly increased radiation levels on the coast of Sweden, 900 miles away, and as far as the Norwegian coast 1200 miles away.
A very thorough approach to diabetes treatment from the point of view of prevention and reversal of diabetes symptoms. Frank Shallenberger is a medical doctor combining his own testing methods called Bio-energy testing with a multi-pronged holistic treatment that includes diet, supplements and exercise. The Bio-energy test , which involves testing your body on a treadmill, evaluates how well you are producing energy and metabolizing fat, as well as your optimum caloric intake and carbohydrate intake. Also adrenal gland function, heart and lung function. Unfortunately I would have to go to his office in Nevada to get this evaluation. It used to be more available, but the economic collapse may have had an impact and the fact that his treatment plan requires patients who are motivated. www.burstingwithenergy.net/bio-energy-testing.php
The book describes his theory that diabetes is an energy production problem on a cellular level and not simply a question of the pancreas not producing enough insulin. He fully admits that his theory has not been proven but his treatment plan still works per his observations of his patients.
He distinguishes two types of Type 2 diabetes. I call them Stage 1 and Stage 2. Stage 1 involves high insulin and insulin resistance. When the pancreas creates so much insulin (produced in the islet cells), the end product is excessive free radicals. Free radicals are produced as a byproduct of all cellular energy production so it is normal until the cell is overtaxed. Then the cell becomes inefficient and produces even more free radicals as a result. In the case of the pancreas this is because of too much carbohydrates demanding high insulin production. And if you are genetically prone to diabetes this is more likely, but you don't have to be this genotype to have it happen to you. So basically everybody is headed for this route due to our high carb food culture.
Stage 2 is when the pancreas does not create enough insulin which is what happens next. This means the islet cells are destroying themselves with free radicals. So you want to catch Type 2 diabetes before it gets to this point in order to reverse it. Otherwise you have to go the insulin injecting route. For this he highly recommends Dr. Bernstein's book.
The problem with conventional medicine, he says, is the use of drugs to make the failing islet cells produce more insulin. This just makes those islet cells burn out faster. Conventional medicine does not go to the root of the problem and ask what causes insulin resistance in the first place and how it can be corrected. And how to protect the pancreas from free-radical damage. This is what his approach is about. It can also be applied to overall health and energy boosting.
His eight pronged approach addresses.
DIET: low carb, above ground vegetables, saturated fats, high protein and a balance of omega 3 and omega 6 fats. He is very high-fat friendly and also believes that the low-fat premise is erroneous.
SUPPLEMENTS: to aid oxygen metabolism, increase fat metabolism and increase insulin sensitivity, increase liver function, increase insulin output, increase adrenal function and improve and increase sleep.
EXERCISE, but not of a prolonged type that keeps your heart rate high. Counsels interval training, anaerobic burst and resistance training. 30-40 minutes a day, six days a week. Interval training of three of the days and resistance training on the other three.
SUPPORTING THE LIVER WITH ANTIOXIDENT NUTRIENTS. These are vitamins C and E, lipoic acid, glutathione (converted from N-acetyl-cysteine , selenium, manganese, copper and zinc.
To check optimum liver functioning look at albumin levels. Albumin, which is a protein in the blood is entirely made by the liver so levels of albumin are indicative of good liver function. Optimal is 4.5 g/dl to 5. Normal range is 3.5 to 5 so a doctor won't care if it's in that range even though less than 4.5 means low energy production.
Glycogen also important to the detoxifying function of the liver. Results from adequate amount of protein. Fiber from vegetables and seeds, not grains, is good for absorbing bile salts which is how the liver gets rid of toxins.
ADEQUATE SLEEP supplemented with 5-HTP and tiny bit of melatonin, not sleep medications which interfere with development of deeper levels of sleep.
STRESS REDUCTION through relaxation exercises and meditation
CORRECTING HORMONE IMBALANCES, not just insulin but thyroid, cortisol, DHEA testosterone and growth hormone imbalances.
Low levels of thyroid results in a decreased production of insulin. Mercury is toxic to the thyroid gland. And possibly fluoride and x-rays. Elevated cholesterol levels, especially LDL are indicative of thyroid hormone deficiency. Thyroid makes 7% of T3 hormone and 93% of T4 hormones. The liver converts T4 to T3. T3 vital for energy production.
Cortisol can best be measured with a saliva test.
DHEA affects insulin resistance.
Growth hormone stimulates muscle and bone cells. A deficiency contributes to loss of muscle mass which in turn aggravates insulin resistance. Growth hormone replenishment is helped by exercise, sleep and fasting. Tested with a blood test for IGF-1
OXIDATIVE MEDICINE for those too impaired to exercise.
Had to get this book through inter-library loan, but it is cheap to buy used. I just wanted to make sure it was worth having.
Ok ...I actually hate these....but I will do it just for you Gary! LOL
I was tagged by: GARY
I guess the object is to come up with 10 things that my contacts do not know about me! So here it goes!!!!!
1. I absolutely hate talking about myself, never liked it, never will, I guess that stems from being a mother and a wife...I have better things to talk about, so this will be very difficult for me, so much so, that I debated on not doing it at all, but I finally decided to do it anyway.
2. I have thyroid disease, so I forget alot of things. I don't remember alot of my days as a child through highschool, so things have stuck, but not many...I do however remember that I hated high school, I hated the people games teenagers play, still despise mind games...just say what you mean and then leave it the hell alone!
3. I'm a straight forward type of person...in other words if you ask me something...I'm going to tell you! So, don't ask me if you look fat in your clothes...cuz....well, you know!
4. I wrote a thriller/horror novel (495 pages) and had it copyrighted 5 years ago, although it is still sitting on my desk collecting dust, because I'm too damn lazy to edit it! I love to write, just hate the editing part...I'm not good at it! LMAO
5. OMG...I'm only on 5!! I only truely like one author... John Saul
I only read horror, its the only damn thing that keeps my attention long enough to finish a book. I love horror movies (not slasher movies...there is a difference.) My favorite shows on TV are Supernatural, Medium, Heros, Lost, Ghost Whisperer and House!
I'm a supernatural freak and would absolutely love to stay in an acclaimed haunted place for a while! LMAO...I would probably piss myself if something really happened!
6. Lets see....I'm running out...lol I'll go back in time...I lifted weights all through high school (and practically looked like a guy) for the girls basketball team. I was leading rebounder my junior and senior year and started both JV and Varisty...and no I'm not that tall...I'm 5'7...I was just one of the meanest on the court. I fouled out of almost every game...geeze...to me...girls basketball was a high contact sport...hehehehehehehehehe
7. In high school and college I had a job as a Bouncer at a club and yes I can still lay grown men out , but people don't fight with with fists anymore and I refuse to weapons, don't like them...if you can't lay me out with a fist...you're not worth fighting! So needless to say...I don't do that anymore unless really pushed and it takes a lot to piss me off, I'm very laid back and usually nothing gets to me! I quit lifting weights for bulk after high school, but kept lifing until the age of 24.
8. Out of college, I never used my degree...I became a live-in nanny for years with the same family...the money was better and I kept my club job on the weekends.
9. I twirled baton from the age of the 3 until out of high school, won competitions and was a majorette in high school and yes...I can still twirl the damn thing!
10. Thank God I'm on 10~ I'm stuck though....lol
Ok...I'll go here...I have a special needs daughter who is my miracle rock! She keeps me hopping that's for sure! She was diagnosed with Kabuki Syndrome combined with high functioning Charge Syndrome, ontop of Aspergers. There are some months we practically live at childrens hospital with all the Dr and therapy appts. She had open heart surgery at the age of 5 months, she has had eye surgery and many ear surgeries (just for tubes.) She's moderately deaf and we used sign language to communicate because her hearing was like she was hearing under water! We never knew she couldn't hear until she was four because she taught herself to read lips. She finally started speaking at the age of 4 and 1/2 after hearing aids. She has no depth perception...which means everything looks flat! stairs look like ramps, curbs aren't there and she memorizes every step she takes! Ok...there are too many other things to list, so we'll just say...she is mainstreamed in a regular 6th grade room, learning everything the other kids are and she is a "B" - "C" student...which in turn to me...means she's an "A" Kid!!!!!
OK...so now you know 10 things about me that would have never known...now its my turn to tag 5 people. HMMMMMM
So I'll tag....
This is the reality of my life. Rheumatoid Arthritis. I've been diagnosed with it for about 5 years now. It was the second autoimmune disease that was discovered (the first being Hasimoto's Disease of the thyroid). They don't really know what triggers RA, all they've told me is that it's there in your DNA and something kickstarts it, like a bad cold. I do remember getting a really bad flu while I was living in the UK about a year before I noticed everything start, so maybe that was it. All I know is that my body hates me. My immune system doesn't function the way it should, it attacks my body because it can't distinguish between what's "me" and what's foreign - as far as my blood cells are concerned they're fighting the good fight, preventing my body from getting sick, but boy do they have it wrong!
At first I was half convinced they'd diagnosed me wrong, I barely had any symptoms, and then when things became apparent it was well managed by medications as it'd been caught early on.
But it seems my body too readily adjusts with medications. What was once effective suddenly doesn't cut the mustard anymore. When I left for my lengthy holiday in Canada I was feeling the best I had in years, but during the duration of my stay everything reversed itself. I wasn't getting the specialist treatment I needed and things got out of control. And it was certainly a shock to the system I can tell you. There were days that it was agony to get out of bed and put my feet on the floor. I just couldn't stand up. Getting up from a seat would take me numerous attempts and lots of psyching myself up, dependent on armrests to pull myself up. I was having trouble with everyday activities. Getting dressed and brushing my hair was sometimes a chore. I'd have to take stairs one at a time. Forget about going faster than a snail's pace when walking. Opening a jar? Forget it!
All those little things that people take for granted. And I hated having to ask people to help me. I tried to hide it from people as much as I could, didn't want them to know the extent of how bad things were. I hated feeling like a cripple and being dependent on someone else. I hated not being able to join in fun things that other people would organise. Even now I'm amazed at the support and patience of my ex-boyfriend as he helped me through this time when I was away from home and not sure how to cope with it all, even though I tried to hide it as much as possible from him too because I didn't want him to get frustrated with me.
It took me over a year of specialist 'attention' to get to the stage where I could even think about starting to work again once I arrived back home in Australia. I say attention loosely as I'd only ever see the specialist once every 3 months or so as she monitored my progress with different medications - hmmm, that one isn't doing what we'd like it to, so let's gradually take you off that and start you on this and see how we go.... that one doesn't work? Making you feel sick with all the side effects? Ok, we'll put you on this one, but before you can start that you'll need to go on a trial of this drug and see if you meet the requirements necessary to start this particular treatment.
But finally we've found something that's doing the best of them so far. Things still aren't 100%, and there's all the inevitable side effects to deal with, but it's a very far cry from where I started! I can now bend my knees and have a full grip (before i could only half close my fist because the swelling on my joints was so very bad), i can move without pain and the swelling has gone down. My energy levels might still wax and wane, but I can actually go out and do things and not get too tired and sore and don't need to spend the next day suffering from my 'excess'.
But it's a bit of a love/hate relationship with the medication that allows me this new freedom. I expect that diabetics are in much the same boat. Injections. And I HATE NEEDLES!!!! It's only once a fortnight, but I face the day of the injection with much dread. My father was talking to a friend that's a diabetic and he said that as it's a daily ritual for him he's completely used to it and can do it in a flash, but he felt that if he was in my situation when there is as long a break inbetween doses he'd be as traumatised as I feel. It's self-administered, but ever since the first time I did it and almost blacked out I always make sure that someone's there with me when I do it. In the end that person (my father) has become the person to push the needle because he was getting too frustrated with me psyching myself up to do it! The button to press to inject the med is quite stiff, and each time I'd pace my breathing and press down on it I'd find out that I didn't actually manage to do it and would have to start the whole process again. Call me a coward, but as I said I HATE needles, and the anticipation of the pain is just as bad as the pain itself!
But this is pretty much the story of my life from here on in. RA is for life. It's just a matter of managing it and not allowing it to progress and cause disfigurement. So far I've been lucky on that score, although my joints have little 'nibbles' in them that will never heal. I've heard various reports in the papers about Australian and UK research that says they've found a cure, but I'll believe that when I see it! I personally would be surprised if the pharmaceutical companies would allow such a thing to go on sale when they can make so much money on drugs to manage the disease. And trust me, there's a LOT of money in managing this condition! You'd be shocked how much just a single injection costs!
But still I'll live in hope that one day I won't need to do these hated injections ever again!
I have low thyroid,so my doctor put me on thyroid hormones. If you've experieced that,then you know you can gain weight,and be very tired till the meds kick in. I kept wondering why I was gaining weight when I was eating the same as usual.
I felt like Miss Hippo here !

In March 1979, an accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear facility near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, led FDA to arrange emergency provisions of potassium iodide for one million residents to block thyroid uptake in the event of accidental release of radioactive iodine. The medicine never had to be used.

FRANK FRAZETTA
Frank Frazetta (American, b. 1928): An artistic prodigy, Frank Frazetta broke into comic books at the age of 16 out of economic necessity. A series of landmark Buck Rogers covers for Famous Funnies and several outstanding EC jobs brought Frazetta to the attention of comic strip artist Al Capp, and he was soon hired to assist on the Li'l Abner Sunday strips from 1952-61. By the time that Frazetta had quit working for Capp, the comic book market had atrophied and his freelance opportunities had all but dried up. Frazetta was forced into the illustration market at large, and it proved to be a blessing in disguise. After creating a series of well-received movie posters and paperback covers, Frazetta's fortune was secured when he painted his world-famous paperback covers for Robert E. Howard's Conan character. A string of spectacular covers for Warren Publishing's titles Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella added to his success. Frank Frazetta is now widely regarded as the master of modern fantasy art..
Frank Frazetta (born February 9, 1928) is an American fantasy and science fiction artist, noted for work in comic books, paperback book covers, paintings, posters, record-album covers, and other media. He is the subject of a 2003 documentary.
Biography
Early life and career
Frazetta was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York City. At the age of eight, with the insistence of his school teachers, Frazetta's parents enrolled him in the Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts. He attended the academy for eight years under the tutelage of Michael Falanga, an Italian fine artist. Falanga was struck by Frazetta's significant talent. Frazetta's abilities flourished under Falanga, who dreamed of sending Frazetta to Europe, at his own expense, to further his studies,[citation needed] but Falanga died suddenly in 1944. When the school closed about a year later, Frazetta was forced to find work to earn a living.
At 16, Frazetta started drawing for comic books in various genres: Westerns, fantasy, mysteries, histories, and other contemporary themes. Some of his earliest work was in funny animal comics, which he signed as "Fritz." During this period he turned down job offers from giants such as Walt Disney. In the early 1950s, he worked for EC Comics, National Comics, (including the superhero feature "Shining Knight"), Avon, and several other comic book companies. Much of his work in comic books was done in collaboration with friend Al Williamson and mentor Roy Krenkel.
Noticed because of his work on the Buck Rogers covers for Famous Funnies, Frazetta started working with Al Capp on his Li'l Abner comic strip. Frazetta was also producing his own strip, Johnny Comet at this time, as well as assisting Dan Barry on the Flash Gordon daily strip. In 1961, after nine years with Capp, Frazetta returned to regular comics. Having emulated Capp's style for so long, Frazetta's own work during this period looked a bit awkward as his own style struggled to reemerge.
Work in comics was hard to find, however. Comics had changed during his period with Capp, and his style was deemed antiquated. Eventually he joined Harvey Kurtzman, doing the parody strip Little Annie Fanny in Playboy magazine.
Hollywood and book covers
In 1964, Frazetta's painting of Beatle Ringo Starr for a Mad magazine ad parody caught the eye of United Artists studios. He was approached to do the movie poster for What's New Pussycat?, and earned the equivalent of his yearly salary in one afternoon. He did several other movie posters (see notable works). Frazetta also produced paintings for paperback editions of adventure books. His interpretation of Conan essentially redefined the genre of sword and sorcery visually, and had an enormous influence on succeeding generations of artists. From this point on, Frazetta's work was in great demand. During this period he also did covers for other paperback editions of classic Edgar Rice Burroughs books, such as those from the Tarzan and Barsoom (John Carter of Mars) series. He also did several pen and ink illustrations for many of these books. Frazetta attributes much of the violence and brutality of these paintings to his actual experiences as a young man defending himself from the street gangs of Brooklyn, who most likely unwisely targeted a man who in all probability traveled with a baseball bat. It was also during this time that he turned down an offer from a talent scout to play for the New York Giants.
Since this time, most of Frazetta's work has been commercial in nature, providing paintings and illustrations for movie posters, book jackets, and calendars. Frazetta's commercial work includes several cover paintings and a few comic stories for the Warren Publishing horror magazines Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella.
Once he secured a reputation, movie studios started trying to lure him to work on animated movies. Most, however, would give him participation in name only, with creative control held by others. In the early 1980s, a movie deal was offered which would give him most creative control. Frazetta worked with animated movie producer Ralph Bakshi on the feature Fire and Ice, released in 1983. Many of the characters and most of the story were Frazetta's creations. The movie proved a commercial disappointment, and Frazetta returned to his roots in painting and pen-and-ink illustrations.
Frazetta's paintings have been used by a number of recording artists as cover art for their albums. Molly Hatchet's first two albums feature "The Death Dealer" and "Dark Kingdom" respectively. Dust's second album, Hard Attack, features "Snow Giants". Nazareth used "The Brain" for their 1977 album Expect No Mercy. Frazetta also created brand new cover artwork that appeared on "Buddy Bought The Farm", the second CD of the surf horror band "The Dead Elvi". Recently, Wolfmother used "The Sea Witch" as the cover for their self-titled debut. Wolfmother has also used other Frazetta paintings for the covers of their singles and for some of their merchandise, such as t-shirts.
Later life and career
Frazetta's primary commercial works are in oil, but he also works with watercolor, ink and pencil alone.
In his later life, Frazetta has been plagued by a variety of health problems, including a thyroid condition that went untreated for many years. Recently, a series of strokes has impaired Frazetta's manual dexterity to a degree that he has switched to drawing and painting with his left hand. He still continues to find an outlet through sculpture and other means.
In 2003, a feature film documenting the life and career of Frazetta was released, entitled, Frank Frazetta: Painting With Fire.
In July 2009, following the death of his wife and business manager, Frazetta announced the appointment of Robert Pistella and Steve Ferzoco as his exclusive agents, through their company Frazetta Management Corp. Pistella and Ferzoco represent Mr. Frazetta's interests in his entire body of work, including all sales of original artwork, licensing, branding, merchandising, as well as all aspects of media development.
Personal life
As of 2009, Frazetta lives on a 67-acre (271,000 m²) estate in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. They maintain a small museum, open to the public, on the estate.
On July 17, 2009, his wife Ellie died after a year-long battle with cancer.
One of Frank's sons, Bill, graduated high school in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, in 1978, and Frazetta supplied the cover artwork for the yearbook.
Influence
Frazetta has had a major and lasting influence on many artists within the genre of fantasy and science fiction, such as Simon Bisley. Boris Vallejo is another fantasy artist with a style broadly similar to Frazetta's along with the fact that he also painted several paperback covers of some of the same science fiction/fantasy characters (e.g., Conan the barbarian, Tarzan) as Frazetta. Yusuke Nakano, a lead artist for Nintendo's Legend of Zelda series, cites Frazetta as an influence.
