Re: Hair Loss as a detox symptom - what to do

[Guest guest]

Back to hair loss:

I am still noticing quite a bit coming out. Here is what I have done so far. I

took 3 days off of all supplements and then added most back in. I eliminated

anything that had Vitamin A in it, because I thought perhaps all of the

butter/cod liver oil, multi, chlorella, spirulina, and a standard process

product Rxed by my naturopath were causing it. I then found out that too much

selenium can cause hair loss too, so I threw away the brazil nuts (I was only

eating one a day) and I haven't taken any supplemental selenium in the last

couple of days, but I may add back 100mcg. I then started to think that I have

read somewhere that iodine in " large " quantities (larger than the RDA can cause

hypothyroidism (hair loss). I know that there is misinformation out there, but

could there be any truth in this? Or could it be a just getting over the hump

kind of thing? I have added 50mg of iodine back in? Any thoughts on should I go

lower or higher?

Searching for truth,

for me is the addition of Iodine, so I am assuming that this is a detox symptom

way to reverse this and prevent more? Pulse dosing, lowering my dose? I take

all of the companion nutrients. PLEASE HELP!! UGH!

I may have meant does Iodine in " large " doses cause HYPERthyroidism instead of

HYPO - short term - leading to hair loss?

Iodine does not cause hypEr or hypO thyroidism. That is a medical myth. I

believe that the

potential causes for hair loss in relation to iodine have been covered in the

responses to this

inquiry, and it's not because iodine is causing hypErthyroidism.
