New with question

[Guest guest]

I am new to the group, have been reading and trying to comprehend

the use of iodine. I have a daughter who has juvenile diabetes who

is testing positive for thyroid antibodies, but has yet to develop

thyroid disease. I am suspicious that her diet could be involved so

have taken her off of anything with soybean oil in it. I was advised

to take her off of antibacterial soaps as they interfere with the

iodine uptake in the body which I have done also. Are any of you

familiar with juvenile diabetes and thyroid disease in combination?

Also I recently had surgery on my foot and have been using 2%

tincture of iodine on it as it wasn't quite healed well enough when

the stitches were taken out. It did well for several days but then

developed what looks like an allergic reaction or burn. I take a lot

of antioxidants also and was wondering if this could have caused the

reaction.
