Guest guest Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hi, I am new to the group. 1st time posting. Diagnosed with Hashimotos in July after 6 weeks mis-diagnosed as Anxiety. My Endo was not going to treat me as "my TSH was within normal". I found a great Doctor in Michigan, who uses supplementation along with the Naturethroid to treat me. I am on most all of the companion nutrients. When I first started taking iodine.. I could not tolerate it. I would for sure have a day of Racing heart, foggy head, sick to stomach etc. if I took the Iodine. My Dr. had me do 1 month of the Companion supplements first to build in my system. I am now up to 6 Iodizyme-Hp tablets per day (Made by Biotics) and am tolerating them quite well. I am only on 1/4 grain of Naturethroid and at my next visit will finally get this increased since I can now tolerate the Iodine. My TSH number at last check has gone from the 2.5 range to 4.61. I hear alot about Lugols. Is this just a brand of choice... or is there a reason why I mostly see Lugols mentioned on this site? The Biotics brand I take says: in 1/2 tablet: Iodine/Iodide 6.25mg: Broken down as Iodine 2.5mg and Iodide (as potassium salt) 3.75 mg. So I am taking 75mg total per day. He wants me on this amount for 6 months and then reduce to 2 tabs per day. Is there a difference between the Lugos and the Biotics brand?I am also using 1 1/2 tsp of Celtic Sea salt daily and I sure notice on the days that I don't take it. Does anyone know of a place to get Celtic Sea Salt pre-packaged in a Capsule? (I made my own last night which took a while to do.) I have a hard time drinking it mixed in a liquid (I have actually thrown it back up). Any Help would be Great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
