My grandparents lost two babies to dysentery that could be controlled today with pedialyte. Best of luck to the duchess – I know that she will have good care. I can’t imagine a skinny little thing like her losing 10% of her weight.

Not ever being married or pregnant I can not say I have shared any of your symptoms which sound terrible. But during the first of this year I was so sick I could hardly walk. I was hospitalized, recovered somewhat but could not explain my complete weakness and very low heart beat etc. I started doing research and found out many things. One being my thyroid, which was completely mistreated by “main Stream medicine”. So I can share with you, your justified distrust of the solutions and the pills given. I started a web-site to help others understand. This one article about Thyroid, I hope show the plight of not being understood by the liberal or group think medical world. Many, Many women and men must have these same problem. I am 90% better now and am back to work. I am taking Iodine on my own.

Hard to believe that I am older than modern IV (intravenous) therapy, for those will a short perspective tend to view the world as they saw it after stepping on the carousel of life, and the age at when they first began to pay attention. A condition such as this, or any other causing marked fluid loss and attendant electrolyte disturbance, proved fatal if not corrected. And such was not possible less than 80 years ago. We are so spoiled today with easy correction of conditions that proved fatal, within the span of one persons life. Looking back in my family tree, my physician grandfather died of a GI hemorrhage that would be a routine medical/surgical problem today because safe anesthesia, modern surgical techniques, IV fluids, blood transfusions, endoscopy, blood chemistry and electrolyte evaluation, etc. simply did not exist. Body fluid loss and concurrent electrolyte imbalances still have a high mortality rate if not recognized and treated promptly. Below is a time link that is interesting.
