She revealed that they were shown pictures of the yacht which appeared quite nice and hence they went ahead and booked the boat. But on entering the yacht, they found that it was filthy, dirty, with things broken.

The air was not working; there was no electricity and no hot water. On expressing their disappointment, they were told that it would be fixed.

But even at the end of 4 days, there was no improvement. To add, Jillian and her friends were handed some unexpected bills such as docking fees, fuel, and drink charges.

Jillian and the party were threatened that their vacation would be terminated if they did not pay up more money. The yacht crew said that they have to pay the mafia of Capri.

When Jillian tried to record the wrong happenings, the staff on board was angry and tried to shut off the camera.

Since the boat people were not ready to listen to their woes and act sensibly, Jillian and her friends left the boat and stayed at a hotel.

Their trip was totally messed up due to the illegal demands of the boat members. They also complained to the FBI and US State Department.

CharterWorld Company has refuted the charges and instead accused Jillian and her friends of not complying with the terms of the contract.

It was during her operation for a prolapsed inter-vertebral disc that her low thyroid hormone status was discovered.

Her neck gland also had some nodules on the surface which were biopsied to reveal that she had Hashimoto’s disease. Jillian started on thyroid hormone supplements.

Jillian started avoiding the following food items raw: cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, mustard greens, kale, spinach, peaches, pears, strawberries, radish, and millets.

She also does not take most forms of processed soy. This thyroid disorder has not stopped Jillian from carrying out her normal routines and achieving her goals.

What is Hashimoto’s disease?

Hashimoto’s disease is an inflammatory condition of the thyroid gland. In this, one’s own immune system takes to attacking the cells of the thyroid gland and gradually ‘killing’ it.
