18. If you live in Mass as your handle suggests
You have both the Pilgrim Plant and Seabrook nearby as well as the plants in Vermont.


Your camp might be near one of these -- but even still --

It was operating when you were younger if you lived there then.

I suggest you check the following:

1. thyroid tests

2. Subclinical metabolic tests are simple: take your temperature in the armpit when you first awake. For ten minutes (with a mercury thermometer)

If you have a basal body temp (before you get out of bed - and shake the thermometer down the night before - activity raises your temperature) UNDER 97.8 then you probably have a hypothroid or hypometabolism problem (which is caused ny radiation exposure)

This will cause chronic fatigue and depression as well as other problems.

Do a google search on hypometabolism and hypothyroidism plus "subclinical" plus "body temperature"

My family had this problem which was greatly relieved by natural thyroid prescription (armour thyroid) where the blood tests showed no real abnormality in thyroid hormones. Most doctors are not familiar with the basal tempoerature tests or think it is too simple to be correct.

I also suggest you get info from the Broda Barnes Foundation (google them)which can recommend a doctor who can treat you .

Body temperature regulates hormones and your immune system. Radioactive iodine damages the thyroid and causes the problems in many cases/

There are more studies at radiation.org (see article links - they do not deal much with thyroid, but they deal with some of the effects of exposure).

I am not a doctor by any means but I had to deal with this issue.

Finding a doctor who does natural as well as traditional medicine is the key -- but I suspect this is what you need.

Let me know how it works out.


I will try to find some links for you.
