Their important job is to regulate blood calcium. Furthermore the majority have never heard of primary hyperparathyroidism - when one or more parathyroids become a non-cancerous adenoma that disrupts that…

According to the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons (AAES)... "the parathyroid glands are four tiny glands, located in the neck, that control the body's calcium levels.

  • https://parathyroidpeeps.com/symptoms-of-this-disease/ Symptoms – PARAthyroid PEEPS - Primary hyperparathyroidism is a disease of calcium imbalance caused by a non-cancerous adenoma(s). Because calcium is an important regulator of many cellular functions in all of the body’s organ systems, symptoms vary. Medical students are often taught a rhyme similar to the following to recall the effects of excess blood calcium levels: Moans, Stones, Groans and Bones. On medecinenet.com,…

  • https://parathyroidpeeps.com/choosing-a-surgeon-considerations/ Surgery – PARAthyroid PEEPS - PICK YOUR SURGEON CAREFULLY The only way to cure primary hyperparathyroid disease is to surgically remove the non-cancerous adenoma(s).

Some surgeons only remove the parathyroid gland with the adenoma that is seen on imaging studies, such as Sestamibi scans or ultrasound scans, and do not look for other bad…

  • Amazon Customer - Excellent Service/Excellent Product Condition

    My recent purchase of PeachTree 2011 was excellent. Fast response. The software was in excellent condition and I was able to register it as well. Works great and I am very satisfied with this purchase. Thank you.

  • Trey - pretty good stuff

    I have an ancient cast iron sink that has become porous, cracked and difficult to clean over the years. I don't have much money for remodelling, so I bought this stuff in bisque.

  • Jen Keeney - More details later :)

    Granted, I've only had the phone for less than 24 hours. The phone is exactly as listed and the shipping was extremely fast. I upgraded my boost service to this phone from a Kyocera Hydro (the orginal) and it was very easy and quick!

  • Hasna - Causes skin dryness

    By far, this is one of the worst products I had used, it caused my skin to dry and feel uncomfortable.

  • Ebco - Warning label does not advise of discoloration

    I purchased this from a drugstore without reading any reviews because I thought that it was a simple fix to a simple issue. I wear heels daily and developed calluses on the outside of my big toes and pinky toes. After using the discs in all 4 areas for 2 days, I removed them and found that the calluses as well as the area all around them were white. I assumed that it was a part of the process, but before putting on new discs, I checked other sites and found that the discoloration is common and for those with pigmented skin it could be permanent. While the callus may come off, the patch does shift a little while being worn, which turns more than just the bad area white. Fortunately, I found this out before extensive use, but even after 48 hours, there is damage that I'm uncertain can be undone.

    I heard a doctor talked about this program and it's great for the diabetic in 6 days I have used this in my number to bend down to 76 this is good for a diabetic I will keep on using this until the diabetes gone my doctor has been very pleased with my numbers since I started using this product and one that goes with it I give it a 5 star

  • mommabear - My favorite moisturizer, light-weight, absorbs well, doesn't irritate acne prone skin

    I started using CeraVe after seeing amazing results on my son's excema. This is my favorite moisturizer. I choose to use it for daytime as well as nighttime. The PM formula is light weight, and absorbs well into my skin. It does not leave a greasy feeling. I find that the AM formula is a little too sunscreen-like, it sits on top of my skin and doesn't absorb as well. (Yes, I know the PM formula provides no sun protection... I use other products to help with that.) What I like best is that using the PM Lotion, along with CeraVe facial cleanser, seems to have all but cleared up my acne.
