Guest guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hi Kim, 3 or 4 days on iodine is a very short time. How much Iodoral are you taking? Are you taking the companion nutrients (vitamin C, magnesium, selenium, celtic sea salt)? These are very important to take while on iodine. Not everyone lowers their thyroid meds while on iodine, although some do. How are your adrenals? heart flutters can usually be related to adrenals. The companion nutrients for iodine are also very good for one's adrenals, especially the vitamin C and Celtic sea salt. There are so many things to to learn in the files, when you have time, read them. Welcome! Kathleen Just started Iodoral Hello,I tried Iodine in the past with an off-brand that made my upper arms itchy. I am trying again with Iodoral. I have been taking it for 3-4 days now.I'm wondering if it is possible for it to make a difference this soon? Is is safe to assume that I will be lowering my thyroid dose if I respond well to the Iodoral? I am wondering because my heart felt fluttery this afternoon and I've never experienced that before.I have not been tested but I'm confident that I am Iodine deficient. My son was born with congenital hypothyroidism (was already affected at birth with physical features). Through research I have found that this scenario is usually due to hypothyroidism in the mother due to iodine deficiency.I am very interested in learning what Iodine can do for me!Thanks,Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Actually yes it is entirely possible for the iodine to make a difference this soon, especially when someone is so deeply deficient as you know you are. I hope that your son is getting iodine treatment also. Fluttery heart can be a bromide detox symptom. Don't stop or lower your thyroid dose based on transient symptoms. Early on in iodine, I had a day of feeling a bit racy and lowered my thyroid dose and it only set me back. I'm sorry for the challenges this health issue has presented in your life. Wishing you most well. -- >I tried Iodine in the past with an off-brand that made my upper arms >itchy. I am trying again with Iodoral.
