Re: Lugol's Solution as a test for iodine deficiency

[Guest guest]

This is not a reliable test and even many naturopathic doctors are

now saying that it is not reliable.

Also, if one is prone to hyperthyroidism, iodine can be a trigger, as

many studies have shown. Especially if the thyroid problem is an

autoimmune one, and also if one tests positive for TSI antibodies,

which many of us autoimmune thyroid people do.

I've known AI people who went hyper just from doing the iodine skin

patch test.

Approach iodine with caution.
