? about getting a workup for Iodine therapy

[Guest guest]

I'm interested in knowing the type of doctor you all see to get on to an Iodine

program. Typical endocrinologists are anti-iodine with Hashimoto's patients.

I've read enough here to think that maybe they are wrong, but where do I go now?

Hello CJ,

Speaking for myself, I am not using a doctor. Best, Kathleen

The doc I go to is a DO, but she isn't really monitoring the iodine, that is totally on my own. She is on bard with it, but that is because she is into homeopathic healing along with western medical, working together. You don't need a doctor to do iodine, it is something you can order through the internet and you read about how to take it and the companion nutrients and you try it out on your own. I started with 5 drops of 2% lugols, then too quickly for me, moved up, then moved back down and have moved up slowly, some people move up quickly and are happy with that. It's very personal and you just have to kind f test ourself and see how you do. I don't think there is an answer that covers everyone. My husband uses about 8 drops, and we use 5 drops for our daughter who has Hashimoto's and is only about 75 pounds. I give my five year old a drop in his juice and do some painting. Different for everyone. On Sep 14, 2011, at 10:36 AM, cj_in_socal wrote:
