Guest guest Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 These are the results (though I had sent in the Urine Spot Test as well, and I don't see the results for that on here): 24 Hour Urinary Halide TestTotal Iodine Excreted 46.8mg (from 50mg loading dose)% Iodine Excreted 94%If you excrete 90% or more, and are not taking iodine supplementation, this may be caused by:1. A symporter defect in which iodine is absorbed but not taken into the cells properly.2. An iodine organification problem where the iodine gets into the cell but does not attach to the lipid complex for activation.3. Bromide may be interfering with the body's utilization of iodine.Total bromide excreted in 24 hours 35.2mgUpper normal value for 24 hour urine bromide collection reported in the literature is 10mg. Higher levels of bromide can affect iodine utilization. So now what do I do? Continue to take Iodoral (I started right after I completed the test over a week ago and am currently taking 3 pills a day)? Make sure I'm taking the supplements recommended by Dr. Brownstein (I am)? Thanks! Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
