Guest guest Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Hello, wondering if Gammadyn I is suitable for patients with Hashimoto's? I have a patient who says that she took Iodine supplements and her thyroid levels actually went down. Is this different? Thank you, Leela Longson, L.Ac.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 According to Datis Kharrazhian, iodine is contraindicated in Hashimoto's because it stimulates TPO antibodies (doesn't explain your pt feeling better). If you haven't already looked, the product information for gammadyn I lists it as being indicated in hypo and hyperthyroidism and contraindicated in thyroid hyperplasia, but there is no specific mention of Hashimoto's either way.
