  In this primer for patients, their families, and their doctors, a leading physician and scientist explains why the standard treatment for hypothyroidism fails many—and offers an empowering call for change.
   
  
   
  Hypothyroidism, also commonly referred to as Hashimoto’s disease, affects millions in the United States alone. It occurs when the thyroid—the butterfly-shaped gland that sits in your neck right above the front of your shirt collar—malfunctions or after thyroid surgery, causing thyroid hormone levels in circulation to drop below normal. Thus, treatment is aimed at bringing these hormone levels back to normal. This is done with daily tablets of thyroxine or T4. Because hypothyroidism is so common, we likely know someone who is on this type of medication. While most patients respond well to this standard treatment, about ten to twenty percent (some two to three million individuals in the United States) are far from living a typical life. They exhibit “foggy brain”—low energy, confusion, and poor memory. Many doctors have shrugged off their complaints, believing these symptoms to be unrelated to the thyroid disease. In Rethinking Hypothyroidism, Dr. Antonio C. Bianco, a physician and a scientist who has studied hypothyroidism and thyroid hormones for decades, offers an accessible overview of the disease’s treatment and the role of big pharma in shaping it, making the case that the current approach is failing many patients. But more than this, Bianco calls for alternatives to improve lives, and he equips patients and their families with the tools to advocate for other treatments.

  Beyond the Visible - Exploring...

  The universe is filled with countless forces that shape our world, yet many of these forces remain invisible to the human eye. These unseen forces have a profound impact on our lives, even though we often don't fully comprehend their influence. Some are well-known, like gravity, while others, such as dark matter, remain shrouded in mystery. 
  Gravity is perhaps the most familiar invisible force, as it affects everything in the universe. It pulls objects toward each other, dictating the movement of planets, stars, and galaxies. The force of gravity keeps our feet firmly planted on Earth and governs the orbits of celestial bodies. While its effects are clear, gravity itself is not something we can see, touch, or directly measure. Instead, scientists observe how it influences the motion of objects in space, helping them calculate the mass and structure of planets and stars. 
  Another crucial invisible force is the electromagnetic field. Electromagnetic forces govern the interactions between charged particles, such as electrons and protons. These forces are responsible for phenomena like light, magnetism, and electricity. Electromagnetic waves, like radio waves, microwaves, and visible light, travel through space and allow us to communicate, see, and power our devices. Though we can't physically see these forces, we experience their effects constantly. The devices we rely on daily, from smartphones to microwave ovens, operate because of electromagnetic interactions.

  A nuanced analysis takes a California oil spill as its point of departure to show how affluent homeowners pushed for an environmentalism that would protect not only the earth but also property and community norms. A massive oil spill in the Pacific Ocean near Santa Barbara, California, in 1969 quickly became a landmark in the history of American environmentalism, helping to inspire the creation of both the Environmental Protection Agency and Earth Day. But what role did the history of Santa Barbara itself play in this? As Pollyanna Rhee shows, the city’s past and demographics were essential to the portrayal of the oil spill as momentous. Moreover, well-off and influential Santa Barbarans were positioned to “domesticate” the larger environmental movement by embodying the argument that individual homes and families—not society as a whole—needed protection from environmental abuses. This soon would put environmental rhetoric and power to fundamentally conservative—not radical—ends.
