Literature

I certainly have read 10 000 books, no way, it's not enough, there is far more than that. One of my biggest interests are reading. I am simply a bokslukare, and may never be enough to learn more. Here I present a few books for those who want to learn more about hypothyroidism.

Hypothyroidism Type 2 by Mark Starr. This book changed everything for me, it really caught my interest and made me read everything I came across on hypothyroidism. In fact, it was that made me ultimately began working with the disease. It is a basic book that explains the type 2 hypothyroidism in a simple manner.

Hypothyroidism: The unsuspected illness, by Broda Barnes. The book explains low thyroid function in a simple, understandable language and how it can be responsible for chronic headaches, repeated infections and other recurring problems. Broda Barnes can be said to be hypotyreosens father, an expert in omådet.

Janie Bowthorpe myself have hypothyroidism and explains in her book her ordeal with many years of crippling fatigue, while her doctor told her that "lab values were normal. It turned out later that the medicine she had not resulted in a rash, so when she later switched to another, she experienced extreme change.

Outdoors

I really like being out in the woods and pick mushrooms, it's very exciting. As to my other big interest is to cook so it is of course very close to going home and doing one of those Karl-Johan mushrooms that you hopefully will find.

Being outdoors is a relief for the soul, that you can be alone with the silence and tranquility. When dealing with a lot of people do, like me, it's nice to be able to disconnect it for a while and just be alone.

When I'm walking in nature, I feel harmony and peace. Yes, except when I hunt mushrooms then of course!

Cooking is another of my great interests, I have actually gone in 10 courses in the College restaurant with the great chefs. It was really fun! So I cook every day, because I know how it is cooked. Because I am very aware of E-numbers and other data we have in us through food, it needs to be aware of.

The best thing about cooking is that it is creative, because it is really creative to stand in front of the fireplace. Recipe is something that is there to see roughly what ingredients should be, not the amounts for which it will be recipes and cooking loss of creativity. Wine is also a great interest, but only that enhance the meal. Most wines need food and actually is not any big shots for themselves.

And as I picked mushrooms in the woods before the day is usually mushroom stew, or omelet. There is also always successful as side orders to anything, maybe fish or meat.
