I've wondered about this too. It does seem that some people have some

temporary hyper symptoms when starting iodine, but the symptoms don't

last long. So maybe they are related to healing, or at least an

adjustment of some kind. That seems good to me, at least potentially.

The hard part I think is distinguishing between a temporary side-effect

and a true hyperthyroid ongoing reaction. I don't know of anything to

suggest overall, other than encouraging people to get their thyroid

labs done periodically, especially within a few months of starting

iodine.

Best,

Sharon

Could also begin a bit hyper with side benefits of detox,

then the system adjusts to protect itself so

that goes away, and even hypothyroid can follow in some cases.

I remember almost 20 yrs ago when Matol Km was starting to be

all the rage in MLM health circles. Billed as a potassium

supplement with about 600 mg potassium, it was lots of herbs

and some natural plant parabens and potassium iodine

as preservatives.

Many people had racing heart, heart palps, and noticeably

increased salivation when beginning use of the product, which

went away in a few weeks, and many became hypothyroid after

a year or two, my sense was more went hypothyroid than you'd

normally find among people at large.

Hello Sal and Sharon,

I am going to make a very long story, short:

Beginning with Iodoral I had digestive system problems that were

resolved and then took Iodoral for about three months with no

problem whatsoever. Then I stopped taking it and wow I have had

numerous problems, pain and suffering since doing that. I started

taking it again because it was clear that was the only way to

resolve the symptoms and since have experienced heart palps, racing,

whatever. At first, this really scared me because it followed on so

many other things. Today, I realized it is clearly that I became

hyperthyroid and I began addressing it. Now, I could do without all

the discomfort both mental and physical, but one thing resulting

from this debacle is a fear of my previous doctor seems ended. His

fear was that iodine would shut my thyroid down. Ha!

Some day I hope to get balanced.

Sigh,

Abbe

Amen, brother! I am on this list to avoid hormones, and yet,

as you elucidate here, those already taking them seem reluctant

to attempt getting off them.

By the way, Skipper's advocation of ConcenTrace persuaded me.

I have ordered a bottle. It is on the way. I already

take the major minerals (magnesium, selenium, and iodine),

but it may well be that the trace minerals are missing in

my diet, so I am excited. Back when I was lacto-ovo, I got

my trace minerals from a goat's whey supplement. Mmmm...

it was so delicious.
