That comment about mineral deficiency is very valid.  Much of the continent is 
in need of mineral supplementation at ground level, and right on up through the 
food chain. When I reply to peoples' concerns I assume too much...like they 
have already checked for dietary deficiencies.

Good call Serita!

  Hi Serita, I do remember the iodine deficiency situation, and would wonder if 
  maybe we have something similar going on again, with other mineral or dietary 
  deficiency.  Hopefully, we will be able to get to the bottom of it, and find 
  out what the cause is.  Thanks.  suzy 

  Hi Suzy' 
  Remember the "goiter belts" because of a lack of iodine in the soil? It 
  wasn't solved until iodine was added to salt..Iowa is a corn growing state 
  and corn really depletes the soil. Especially when not grown organically. 
  Have you tested for mineral and/or vitamin deficiencies?. 
  Good luck.
