Dr. Derry (CANADA)/Iodine Question......

[Guest guest]

Really incredible, isn't it...... Thanks, !

But I must admit I'm confused re: the iodine/thyroid connection. How does one

know

if they're deficient or if they're getting too much -- in relation to the

thyroid disease

one is dealing with? Do we supplement or don't we??

Does anyone have the info on how you do that skin absorption test for

iodine? You take some tincture of iodine and put it on your skin.. the

rate at which it's absorbed by your skin tells you how much you need

it..... I found it fascinating but since I have no thyroid function I

felt that all the iodine that I take in is just floating around with no

place to go anyway so it wasn't an important concern for me.... Now I'm

not so sure....

The skin test has proven to be invalid. The iodine simply evaporates.
