A 2013 Chinese study found a rate of H. Bystander Effect.
I can’t believe that it’s been over 10 years since I started the thyroidpharmacist.com blog in 2013, and now 2023 is almost over. Personal Note I started the thyroidpharmacist.com website after getting myself into remission from Hashimoto’s back in 2013. Wow… do the years just fly by! Does Adrenal Fatigue Exist?
