Will iodine raise your antibodies?

[Guest guest]

I just got my labs back last week. I've been on iodine since Dec. 31st, working up to 50 mgs by Feb 14th and 100 mgs. about six weeks ago. I have a goiter with nodules, and have Hashimoto's.

On my recent labs my TPO Ab went from 30 (taken Feb. this year) to 78, my Tg Ab from 42 to below 30. So one became worse while the other improved. Is this due to the increased iodine, just as we've been told to expect our TSH to go up temporarily?

One reason I have upped my iodine is to try shrinking the goiter. (I'm also taking all the companion nutrients.) Jim mentioned that his nodules are gone - how long did it take on the iodine protocol?
