I kinda bet she's Mexican and probably would walk to the tienda, not a bodega for a snack. Bodegas are mostly styled after S.A./ Central Am./Caribbean places of business.

THere are a few ways to treat the thyroid condition. The weight is a 'by-product' of it.

One of the problems with living in the 21st century is we have an 'easy' out look when it comes to HC. Before a hernia, gall bladder removal, baby delivery were three, four day hospital stays. I watched those stays shrink to almost 24 hours and in some cases women have a baby in the morning and go home in the afternoon.

Do not be fooled into believing that any disease or condition can be treated in a 48 minute time frame, like on TV. We are lulled into that fast fix because of the media, the strides taken to improve HC and the progress made by the pharmceutical manufacturers.
