Thank you all. for I have seen that here you get the value that one needs to move forward. I'm well motivated. I hope this way to lose weight. I need to control my health. A year ago I do not take any medication because it did not have insurance to cover him. but always through sonography monitoring the nodule is on my thyroid that is causing the condition. i am medical sonographer , so I can detect any changes. course that does not replace medical advice. thanks again to all for your support. besitos
