Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Hi all,I Haven't posted in awhile because my health has been improving, which has allowed me to expand my life a bit and do less health research! I've been taking Iodoral for about 2 years now and have had positive results... (I've done many other things as well but I know the iodine is a huge factor in my improvement).A question I have right now is about weight and estrogen issues. Though I am still a bit hypothyroid (however my T3/T4 hormones are increasing on iodine alone, even without getting on Armour), for the last year on iodine, I've lost too much weight. I wasn't overweight to begin with, and now I'm almost too skinny (this is awesome news for people who want to lose weight, but note that for me when I was in the beginning stages of detox from iodine, I gained at least 10 lbs for a few months, but now I've never been so skinny in my life so hang in there because it does work!!). I'm especially unhappy with losing about 2 cup sizes in my chest. I'm guessing this is because iodine clears estrogen and cysts in the breasts - so mine are probably healthier now but not nearly as full or firm Has anyone had a problem with their estrogen becoming too low while being on iodine? I'm only 33 but since being on iodine I've had some other low estrogen symptoms also such as delayed ovulation and night sweats at certain times during my cycle... When I reduce my iodine dosage I don't have the night sweats. But in general I don't like reducing my dosage because I feel better at a higher dosage - so not sure what to do...Feedback?? Thanks so much,Marlena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I wonder what dose of Iodoral you are on? it's hard to read the tiny print of your email you might need more adrenal support and progesterone. gracia marlenaappletree wrote: > > Hi all, > > I Haven't posted in awhile because my health has been improving, which > has allowed me to expand my life a bit and do less health research! > I've been taking Iodoral for about 2 years now and have had positive > results...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I have experienced the same thing. Although I have been hypothyroid for about 15 years weight gain was never an issue. I had many other symptoms. Now I have been on iodoral for about 4 months and I feel better, although my blood work is all out whack but I keep losing weight. It is hard to say that because I know a lot of people that don't sympathize with me, but when your losing too much it can become quite unnerving. I thought it was juts the iodine reving up my metabolism. I am about ready to go up to 50 mgs but a bit nervous because I am not sure what will happen. I would love to hear what you learn about this.
