Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Why did you lower your thyroid meds? What is the health problem that has made you seek iodine? > > PLEASE HELP! > > I am currently taking 90 mgs of Armour Thyroid...I just went down from 120 mgs. I just received Lugol's iodine solution: 5% and I am wondering if I should completely taper off of the thyroid medication before starting the iodine, or not? Also, from what I have read Dr. Brownstein recommends 100mgs for severe conditions, which it says is the equivalent of 8 drops of Lugol's 5% solution. I am wondering if I should just start off with 50mgs and I am also wondering how to dose it? > I am also currently taking 3 Transfer Factor RMMs, in the morning, Acyclovir, several times a day, and 1 scoop of Cholestryamine at night. > > Thank you! > Regan > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Thank you for inquiring...I really felt like I was being completely ignored on here! I guess I got it in my head that I could go off of the thyroid meds if I was taking the iodine...I probably shot myself in the foot doing it, but I did it, nonetheless..I am currently taking 60 mgs and I am taking 8 drops of the Lugol's iodine. For certain there is a hypothyroid problem and severe adrenal issues as well, just to name a few... > > > > PLEASE HELP! > > > > I am currently taking 90 mgs of Armour Thyroid...I just went down from 120 mgs.
