Re: question about sea salt

[Guest guest]

I am confused - but I heard adding iodine will help hypo's ???

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Sea salt has minerals in it as well. Iodine was added to the other

salt because people were not getting it from their foods anymore.

Coming from the sea I would think that there would be some natural

iodine. Being hypo and on t4 or combo, we should not be adding

extra iodine to our system as it goes straight to the thyroid. Non-

thyroid patients need it to stop them from becoming hypo

particularly those of us that live in areas that are thought to be

where the cases of hypo is the highest.

What do you mean by " on t4 or combo? " I'm not sure this applies to

me. So sorry about my ignorance. I'm hypo and on synthroid 25 MCG

(which I think should be higher).

Hi ,

Some people are taking synthroid or other synthetic and a t3 also,

and of course those of us on Armour (or like) are getting other

t's. That is a small dose but not having seen your #'s it is hard

for me to say. If this is just the beginning dose they may be

putting it up later as you go along, usually the increases are about

every 6-8 weeks as that is when it is into the system properly. I

had a catscan done just over a year ago and 1/2 way through they

injected the die which contained iodine and I felt it in my thyroid

which was not pleasant. They ignored the fact that I was hypo and

the truth is that even the medical profession does not always know

the way things affect us, so we have to keep learning so that we are

aware of what to do and what not to do. Hope that helps.

Sea salt with out iodine in it but containing the trace minerals

that are body's tend to lack is good.. You actually got the proper

salt.

In areas with iodine defficency iodine is added to the food chain.

Iodine defficency is a common treatable disease that has seriuos

side effects, especially for newborns and developing children..

Problem is this condition is slowly being eraticated by adding

iodine to everything.

In areas with adequate iodine food supply( all industrialized

nations and about 1/2 of the third world countries) adding extra

iodine may or may not be a good thing. Mild iodine deffiency is

actually thought to protect those with autoimmune thyroid disorders.

With out the autoimmune function the body will excrete the extra

iodine uptake , although for some it can cause temporary

hyperthyroidism..

In a person with an autoimune disorder, limiting iodine usually

helps.

The thyroid uses iodine to make thyroid hormone, too much iodine

stimulates the thyroid, a stimulated thyroid increases antibodies in

which then increases the stimulation of the thyroid.

Kats3boys,

Thanks for the reply and info!

Does this mean that, since I have hypothyroidism, that I should not

use the sea salt or that I should.

Still confused. :-(

Yes you should use the sea salt. Regular table salt has all the

trace minerals removed.. Trace minerals is something your body needs

to help function and heal. Regular table salt also contains iodine,

something that you want to avoid or limit.. the sea salt does not

contain iodine and has the trace minerals.

It depends. Try using it for a week, then try not using it for a week, and see if you notice a difference. It's different for everyone, it seems.
