Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I read that taking iodine daily may lead to thyroditis. So, can you Listees please tell me what side effects or symptoms to look for to judge that you are gone way beyond on your iodine intake? I have almost stopped salt (sodium chloride) because of my hypertension. Ratan.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Ratan, I can not answer your first question, but would recommend you not give up salt-natural salt, that is. Unrefined sea salt complete with whatever minerals happen to be attached. Every cell in the body needs salt, but not pure, refined, sodium chloride. That changes everything! I know you have some excellent sources of unrefined sea salt in your part of the world. There is not naturally a large amount of iodine attached to the salt molecule in sea salt, but there is some. And I believe salt may help with iodine absorption?

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Hi Ratan, Hypertension can also be linked to low Potassium intake. Too little Sodium is not a good idea, although moderation is. I take Iodine as Lugol's Iodine. I gargle with about 5-10 drops in a glass of water & scrub my gums with a toothbrush. Sometimes I swallow a small portion of the dilute Lugol's. If I swallow Lugol's too frequently, I get a runny nose. For me balancing out dry vs runny nose gives me a clar indication of how much Lugol's to take.

Why, have you determined that salt affects your hypertension? Not all hypertension is affected by salt, and it's likely that's in the minority. One thing that can cause hypertension is hypothyroidism. Which, a low iodine intake can lead to. If you're not getting your iodine from iodized salt, then you should be sure you do have adequate sources of it.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 If I stop salt for 10 days, my blood pressure falls to normal. I believe it means my high blood pressure is due to salt. But, having stopped salt means I have no source of iodine. So I take potassium iodide. But I am worried if it will give me thyroditis.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Yes Maureen we have many kind of salts here in India. But I live far from the sea. In my city we have rock like solid form of salt that is brown or black in color. Or I could buy unrefined white salt. These salts are sold by the traditional Ayurvedic physicians and their Ayurvedic chemists. The commonly and easily available form is of course the table salt with iodine added on top.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Ratan, I don't know if you read the abstract that Sally posted today on iodine deficiency in West Bengal. Here is another article on the same study that has an online article. Apparently iodine deficiency is very common on the Indian Peninsula. Moreover, even when iodine is sufficient as in this study, goiter (a frequent consequence of low iodine) is common. They think it may be due to the regular consumption of the goitrous vegetables (e.g., broccoli, cauliflower), but they don't know for sure yet. You might want to look at the article on line. Sounds like you are very wise to be checking into iodine. The older you are, and the more deficient in iodine, the more likely you are to have autonomous nodules in your thyroid. Therefore, it is important to start slowly with iodine supplementation, and to add gradually. Iodine nutritional status & prevalence of goitre in Sundarban delta of South 24-Parganas, West Bengal. Chandra AK, Tripathy S, Ghosh D, Debnath A, Mukhopadhyay S., 2005. Article. "BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: In post salt iodization phase endemic goitre and associated iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) were found prevalent in a randomly selected rural area of Sundarban delta and its adjoining areas of West Bengal. The present investigation was thus undertaken to study the total goitre rate, urinary iodine and thiocyanate excretion pattern of the school going children, iodine content in edible salt and drinking water in the Sundarban delta of South 24-Parganas in West Bengal.... INTERPRETATION & CONCLUSION: The severity of endemic goitre was high in the studied population though the iodine nutritional status was found satisfactory in the region indicating no biochemical iodine deficiency. The people of the region consumed iodine through iodized salt but about 44 per cent of the salt samples at household level contained inadequate iodine, however their iodine intake was compensated through iodine in water and food. They also consumed dietary goitrogen. Environmental factors other than iodine deficiency may have possible role for the persistence of endemic goitre in the region. More investigations are thus necessary to arrive at certain definite cause of high goitre rates in this population." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed & cmd=Retrieve & dopt=Abstract & list_uids=16456256 & query_hl=1 & itool=pubmed_docsum Zoe Yes Maureen we have many kind of salts here in India.But I live far from the sea.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Yes I read the article earlier too. Thanks. I am aware that certain foods are goiterogenic. But that factor can be nullified by cooking. For example peanuts, millet and soya are goiterogenic because of a substance in them. This substance can be destroyed by cooking/heating after which these foods are safe. I take a tiny grain of iodine as Potassium Iodide.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Sally Fallon was taking iodine until recently when she stopped due to some side effects like dizziness. She says the symptoms stopped when she stopped the iodine but she probably didn’t need it anymore. My WAP chapter leader got an email from her here in Florida because it was a big topic on our local group. I am sorry I can’t put the email on here because I deleted it.
