Re: Natural Iodine For Thyroid Health

[Guest guest]

Keep in mind that of those 11 million wiht hypothyroidism, probably

10.99 million have HASHIMOTO's That iodine will activate the antibodies

for. I was fine and had NO antibody attacks for years until i used

iodine. Iodine is only uiseful for the thyroid to use to MAKE thyroid

hormones fo rthta it must be able ot. Wiht Hashi the thyroid is not

capable of making the proper amount of thyroid and all the iodine in the

world will not change that,.

I have antibodies in my saliva but not blood, so the iodine I take is not going

to help?

The problem with this is that MOST of us have Hashimoto;'s thyroid or

autoimmune thyroid disease. Iodine stimulates the htyroie to try to

produce more hormones, hwihc is great if oyu just have a lazy thyroid or

are just low in iodine. MOST of us are not hypo for that reason. Most of

us are hypo from autoimmune thyroid dsease. When you have Hashi

antibodies ANYTHING that stimulatres the thyroid also stimulates the

antibodies. Also keep in mind this sit e you posted is selling their

wares. I have not found any sites that are selling products I would

believe 100%.. After all the sites were created JUST to sell their products.

That whole post by " Ida " reads like spam to me.

I tried Iodoral before I knew for sure that I had Hashimoto's and it

made me quite warm and I had palpitations. Iodine isn't for everybody.

Val,

So then would someone like me with a multi-nodular goiter be further stressing

my thyroid gland by taking even a small dose of iodine? I'm currently taking

Iodemere by Standard Process. I don't know where I read it, sorry, but I think

I've read that iodine can shrink a goiter???

Thanks hun.

Be well, W

Goiters are known to be caused by LOW iodine. Anyone wiht a goiter should have

the iodine loading test and then use those results to determine if iodine might

be helpful.

Thanks Val. I don't know if I can handle the loading test. Even though my IC

is pretty inactive, I have to be careful about supplements and the high dose of

Iodoral would most likely cause a flare that would take a long, long time to

heal again. It's like walking a tight rope, you know?

Have a good Monday morning hun.

REALLY??? That's very appealing then! Thank you for sharing that. You always

have good info to share hun. Really do your homework. I appreciate that

especially with my brain-fogged self these days. It really makes figuring stuff

out very difficult. And I USED to be such a problem-solver!

Thanks!

Wow, that is interesting............

I am SO dispirited about my weight at the moment that I found myself

before almost getting assaulted by a drunken lout but that's another story

The police were called and all is well now anyway.

I digress....... diet pills is what i have been thinking about.

Now I KNOW that isw crazy talk but I am going crazy with this weight

problem. Now just tipping 16 stone which is 16 x 14, whatever that comes to.

I lost 8 lbs recently when I went hyper and find myself thinking all sorts

of wierd plots and plans like OK I will tak extra T3 and go hyper and take a

betablocker so it is not a problem and THEN lose the weight.

I mentioned on the list before that I went on the Atkins induction diet for

several weeks a little while back and lost ONE lb.

Well then that might account for why I felt so bad when I tried Armour the first

time. The Iodine in it could have been creating a detox situation! Val, do you

know how much iodine is in stuff like Armour and Cytomel? Would it be enough to

cause a detox? I have high levels of lead but because of my durn bladder, I

can't take the usual chelating medications. Causes a big BURN!

Synthetic thyroid hormoens are STILL made up of iodine molecules!

I could take the 's TRT3...and Cytomel is okay although I'm not getting

much help but I thought that was due to my adrenals being stage 7. But back

when I tried Armour, I felt pretty bad on it...thought it was a pork allergy.

The role of the thyroid gland is to produce thyroid hormones, including

the two key hormones levothyroxine

<http://www.armourthyroid.com/glossary.html#sodium>(T_4 ) and

L-triiodothyronine <http://www.armourthyroid.com/glossary.html#l> (T_3

). Each thyroid hormone contains iodine; the " 3 " and the " 4 " refer to

the number of iodine molecules in each thyroid hormone molecule. These

two hormones influence the body's metabolism as well as the function of

many organs.

T_3 is the more biologically active hormone, and it is thought to be the

hormone that functions at the cellular level. Levothyroxine (T_4 ) is

converted to L-triiodothyronine (T_3 ) in the body.

Levothyroxine products such as Synthroid^® contain a synthetic version

of only the T_4 hormone; levothyroxine tablets directly replenish the

T_4 that the thyroid gland fails to sufficiently produce and rely on the

ability of the blood to convert it to T_3 .

BTW , thyroid is the body' OWN detox organ as part of it;s job in

the metabolism is to remove toxins and why we feel so bad and have

cumulative damage to the cells in the body when we are low in thyroid

for many years.

Thanks Val...so that would be a fairly low dose considering the doses I was

taking here recently that were causing definite detox symptoms as well as a good

ole fibro flare. I know I need to detox, buuuuttttttt! LOL

Yes, I just learned this...thought metabolism, temp regulation, etc. was the

sole purpose of the thyroid gland, but nooooo, it detoxes too! My poor liver is

sputtering these days too...I must be REALLY toxic! Scares me a bit.

But this accounts for the feeling poorly whenever I try to get aggressive with

my hormones (adrenal and hence thyroid). I'm just gonna have to grin and bear

it.

I wonder why I didn't have these reactions when doing the 's TRT3. I

didn't have any reactions like I'm having this year. I don't doubt your

observations at all, but I'm one of the weirdest people when it comes to

reactions to drugs and supplements. My dad was too. But it could be that my

adrenals finally pooped all the way out. Well, I know they have according to

May's saliva test results.

I just gain so much weight and retain fluid on HC. Right now I'm only taking 5

mgs of HC to see if I can stabilize on that.

es thwe way the thyroid hormones work uis to carry out a very sloe but

constant detox of daily accumulated toxins so I often wonder about the

buildup of these toxins we have from being hypo long term.
