“We are facing an epidemic in this country of thyroid disorders, and the incidence is on the rise,” says Dr. Cushman.

“Still, with environmental toxins and stress-caused changes suspected in the long term development of serious thyroid disorders, safe interventions that ameliorate those risks are of great interest and integrative medical interventions and preventive lifestyle factors offer great promise,” Dr. Cushman said.

“Dr. Cushman’s presentation includes a detailed look at thyroid treatment strategies,” said Rudy Dragone, R. pH, owner of  Clark's Pharmacy.

“PharmCon/FreeCe.com is an excellent venue to introduce pharmacists and other licensed healthcare practitioners to the benefits of Nature-ThroidTM and WesthroidTM as part of a safe and integrative treatment approach to thyroid disorders, “ Dragone added.
