Has it been established that Iodine lowers iron levels? This is the first I've heard of it.

Thank you Dianne. That's very good to know.I am curious what you do for your low ferritin levels? Mine were inthe dirt to begin with, and now that I've been on Iodoral daily for acouple months I'm sure they've gone down further. Supplements don'tseem to budge it for me. I'm still not clear on why iodone lowers ironlevels. Is it just improved metabolism perhaps?Thanks again.DD > >> > Does anyone know if starting Iodoral will alter one's potassium > levels?> > Thank you,> > DD> >>

Not iron - ferritin. Ferritin is the storage. It has not been established but many of us have noticed this happening.

Gosh, with the switch to vegetarianism, I was already a little concerned about getting enough iron, now this. What can we do to prevent the ferratin decrease? Just take daily iron supplements?

The only people who have reported a drop were on Armour. You are the first not on it.

Hi Steph, I wasn't on Amour and mine dropped - or were you saying that those on Amour *haven't* had them drop?

This is the one I take. It is much cheaper at Vitacost than at my local health food store. Tastes good too.

So what did you do about it? My ferritin is already low (in range but low) and it makes me really nervous to even try iodine. Is there a protocol that protects that while taking iodine? Thanks, AmyFrom: ladybugsandbees <ladybugsandbees@...>iodine Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2009 7:16:04

Hi if you don't have Hashimoto's you can take kelp or eat sea vegetables like 2 sheets of Eden Nori a day. They do contain bromide, tho, so if your bromide is high, I wouldn't do it.Hakala Research can test iodine/bromide urine levels. As an aside, has anyone heard of hcg treatments? I have heard of four people (one I know personally) with terrible thyroid numbers inc. Hashies. A doctor put her on hcg and within three weeks, she lost l0 pounds and her thyroid numbers are perfect.

Kelp can also be high in Arsenic. We do not recommend consuming sea veggies here due to toxicity issues.

Eden is supposed to be clean but the other brands not. According to Premier Research Labs in Austin, Texas.

that's why testing it is a good idea. PRemier Research Labs has a certain muscle test for foods . . . they tested Eden Nori and it tests okay but other brands do not. I would not put anything in my mouth that wasn't organic but then again organic doesn't always test well etiher. Some conventional foods often test stronger than organic.

human chronic gonadotropin. It is what Trudeau uncovered - Dr. Simeon's protocol for weight loss using the hcg hormone (pregnancy hormone made from urine of women) to release fat from the body while being on a very low calorie diet (500 cal / day) Google Hcg diet and you will find out more info on it.

Well, the four people I know of who got better in one month saw a certain doctor who uses it. IT's available as injections or sublinguals. You can't buy it in this country if you're a regular person -- the dr. may get it from Canada. I just heard about it today because I've been feeling lousy for a year with Hashie markers going up and T4 not making enough T3.Not to mention adrenal fatigue. And I'm a nutritonist/acupuncturist! The woman, a fellow nutritionist, is a reliable person who HAD Hashie's and she said she lost l0 pounds in 3.5 weeks and all her thyroid markers were fine. You will have to investigate on your own to see who offers this in your area, wherever you may be. I will keep the group posted after I see the dr. in land. I was particularly impressed when she said three of her patientsalso

got better on hcg. Google away.From: Hiroko Yamamuru <hirokoyamamuru@...>Subject: Re: Re: was:Iodoral and Potassium/Iodine & Iron levelsiodine Date: Thursday, January 22, 2009, 5:36 PM

You are wrong - it is 500 calories / day. The remaining 2,000 is released from the fat. You lose 1 lb a day on average. Please read up about it on your own.

All I can speak to is how I began taking it and that was because I took iron and could not get my levels of Ferritin up. My iron would be high but it was not storing it.

I forgot muscle testing! Yeah, you can muscle test to see if you need it--or really should reject it. Problem is my boxer, white boxer, just developed hypothyroidism, has problems with her blood sugar, and is now going into seizures. The vet has her on 0.6 mg Thyrozine (which may be a mis-spelling), a synthetic hormone--and phenobarbitol, at least 120mg, 60 mgs twice a day. I'm giving her iodoral, 12.5 mg once a day on my own, but I just started that.

When she starts a seizure I'm giving her a good squirt of Karo syrup. Most of the time she responds within 15 to 20 minutes. I need to find a holistic vet, one who understand something about mineral deficiencies.
