Re: Anyone Use Iodoral?

Do you know whether the Natrol Skin Hair and Nails formula has iodine in it?

I don't mean the actual listing along with the vitamins, I mean any form of

iodine in the fillers that I'm not recognizing. I've been taking this one

for quite some time now, one thing because it does come in capsule form and

SEEMS agreeable, but something is sure making my hands ache. I'm just

wondering if it's hidden in some of these things, going by another name.

Anyone Use Iodoral?

> I really wouldn't take this if you have Hashi's. I also read today on

this board that you shouldn't take it if you're Hypo at all. I think a lot

of Holistic Doctors like to give you iodine because the thyroid hormones are

derived from iodine, so it does kind of make sense. I feel that it makes the

antiboidies go crazy, and mine are crazy enough thank you! I honestly

thought I had Rheumatoid Arthritis when I toolk supplements with iodine in

them. The joints in my hands and writsts ached like a toothache! And as

soon as I stopped those supplements, so did the joint problems. Maybe the

Doctor doesn't have antibodies so it doesn't bother him. I don't know, but I

sure as heck wouldn't go looking for trouble. I think it was Caroline I

told about the SeaSilver, it's packed with iodine. I check every supplement

bottle I buy, they even make multivitamins with no iron or IODINE so there

must be a lot of us out there! I just really wouldn't risk it if I were you,

I wouldn't wi!

> sh that kind of pain on anyone. If you're on really good terms with your

Doctor, maybe you could do some research and show it to him. I'm sure he

wouldn't want to intentionally harm his patients, he sounds like a great

Doctor otherwise.

One major thought here now is that if it repairs the thyroid, how come HIS

isn't repaired. He does take Armour, so in what way is his repaired?

That's crazy on acct of Hashi's causes massive permanent destruction of the

gland, and you can't create something out of nothing. It's not temporarily

out of commission, it's destroyed in it's tissues, so there isn't any

repairing it with Hashimoto's. If it's caught early enough, sometimes some

of the destruction can be staved off, but then sometimes it can't, and

that's only with natural thyroid, as far as I'm concerned.
