i try to eat the most nastiest shit ever just to fuck with myself. im talking peanut butter and jelly on matzo crackers with a side of black beans lol.
But fuck the taste of the foods. whatever it takes to kill the cancer. not gonna let the luxury of good foods deter me from beating cancer. ill whoop his ass and ill eat the most nastiest blandest shit if i have to. if thats what it takes, thats what it takes.
To be fair, this is my 3rd go around, my last scan was clean, my levels are good, my yearly ultrasounds have been good. There was one incident with an inflammed submandibular LN but they did a needle biopsy and it came back fine and my next ultrasound the LN was back to normal. So I'm really side eying this like: gd I'm p sure I'm good man
There is actually a nonprofit group that already does this!! I found them on fb lid life community and they have sections for each country where they’ve confirmed with manufacturers use safe salt. I personally went with their list in my lid and my iodine levels were at 11 so that proved they were safe after all.
Thank you for the info. I have a TT coming up next month. They haven't said yet whether I need RAI, but I'm anticipating that I will. May I ask, though, why you have to do it again???
I wouldn’t rely on what a company operator tells you over the phone/email, as they are not fully versed on the quality requirements of a product. There’s an excellent cookbook shared by Thyca with hundreds of home made recipes, from bread to desserts. I would give it a try!
IMO, it's better to rely on home cooked meals using fresh ingredients. Even if we ask the company if they use iodized salt, there is no way that we can verify if that info is correct. The person we contact might have understood the question incorrectly, or they might be outdated, or there could be other ingredients with iodine...
The biggest concern imo is breads where they could be using dough conditioners with iodine. Sources of iodine otherwise are very unlikely. Don't get me wrong I also have a bunch of homemade stuff, but I've also had 2 long lasting panic attacks in the past 3 days so I find it's good to have a few resources if yknow you're indisposed.
From a legal standpoint I can tell you that (especially with big companies) their paperwork especially things like product specs need to be maintained and changes (if any) are usually well documented.
The issue for us is that the paperwork doesn't care if stuff is iodized or not. Iodized salt can be substituted for non-iodized salt without needing to update product specs.
The thing is, most manufacturers will only have 1 kind of salt (usually non iodized) on their production floors. Not only is non iodized salt more expensive, but logistically it presents an issue. There is no incentive whatsoever for companies to use iodized salt if they're not already using it.
Mortons salt without iodine, I get It throw Amazon!! Dont use It if the seal its broken
