when your thyroid is out of whack- is your immune system low? my son has had bronchiloitis and has been on breathing treatments for a wheeze and cough. i have now come down with this head cold thing- stuffed up (my entire left side- nose and ear) cough and tickle in the throat? wondering if i caught what he has and if since my thyroid is still out of whack if i have a lower immunity right now?
TIA

He talks about getting the essential fatty acids from food sources like fish such as salmon, mackeral, tuna, sardines. And there's flax seed oil, as well, and borage oil. It's easy to get a supplement that contains all three, fish,, flax and borage. These are the Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids.
Hope this helps! Cathy :)
