I am sorry it has taken me so long. We had some techincial difficulties in this end setting up this new market place site.
And now that we can do it, I need to know what everyone wants to call it. I dont really love the market place name-but maybe everyone does?

...about the thyroid. Here is my thinking, and I am speaking in regards to the community of people that have IC-not other people in general, as my experience with thyroid issues is limited to chorinic illness.
But--my theory is like the picture above. If everything is too full and stuck and you put something behind it to push it faster--what do you think will happen? Probably a bunch of cars will run into one another and there will be alot of accidents and probably even a fire right?
Back to the next question. Sorry about the picture. I couldn't resist! I am sure how it is how many of us feel at certain moments!:)
Deir's Question:
As in-I have one! After my little daughter accidentally while sick last week got a little dot of spit in my mouth as she was speaking to me! I knew at that moment I was toast. I was somewhere where I just could go and wash my mouth out. So I said, well, OK, here we go. And I thought I escaped it until boom, it hit me so hard!
I have been sick home for two days and asking myself why I am not getting better. Well, I was getting better-mostly. It started with a sore throat of razor blades and fever and throat and lung stuff-that all cleared up quickly.
Sorry it is taking me so long to get to each question. The picture is my attempt at self amusement which, I try to do each day. My daughter used to call the coyotes which are ever present in my community, lolos when she was little and everytime I see it written, this is what I think of. I love coyotes BTW:)
Anyway, here are the questions:
For anyone who has read my dissertation, they know how much I subscribe the the micro world within us effecting our entire physiology. The forefather's of Chinese medicine each had their own schools of thought and took their place in the history of Chinese medicine. I am not looking for a place in the books and I am certainly not comparing myself to any of those great masters, but, I do have my niche and the cross between the human microbiome and Chinese medicine is it.
Hello all,
I am a patient of Matia’s now for the past 5 years (with some breaks due to pregnancies) and I always said to myself when I get better I will write about my success. When I was really going through some rough patches I would be on the blog all the time looking for patients who had words of encouragement. I am hoping to give that to you with this letter.
For those of you who have read my dissertation you know that pain relievers and NSAIDs are one substance correlated with the destruction of the GUT ultimately leading to the cascade of events that lead to chronic illness.
Last year I did a post asking what people were doing prior to becoming unwell and what getting better allowed them to do that they couldn't do when they were unwell. I recieved many touching posts directly on my blog and several private ones. Not everyone wants to share themselves openly on line, but, for those who do, we are working on creating a page featuring links to your own personal site showing whatever it is you are doing.
