Quotes:
"The thyroid is connected to the throat chakra, the color blue... people who hold back their thoughts/feelings tend to have a lot of thyroid imbalances...your mouth has to express things so your ears can hear them for the healing to start." - Dr. Nirvana
"Food is our nutrition...food is our medicine and not meant to be feared." - Dr. Nirvana
"If your body has a symptom, it's just trying to speak to you." - Dr. Nirvana
