Guest guest Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Have been on adrenal support for almost a year but my thyroid just went crazy when I added iodine.I am up 25 pnds and my doc has ordered a raft of tests: Glucose fasting, NA,K,CL,CO2,creatinine, Phosphorus, Manesium, total protein, albumin, alk phos, ALT, urate (uric acid) bilirubin (total) Serum protein electrophoresis, LDL lipid profine, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, cholesterol, Thyroid antibodies, am cortisol, TSH (progressive testing) The doc said to stay on all my supps – will then not give false readings? Can someone who knows thyroid/adrenal issues suggest whether it would give truer readings if I get off ACE or tyrosine or everything for a while (how long?) before the tests? I really need some thyroid help and I am hoping these tests along with my symptoms give my doc enough to do something. I learned from my failed iodine experiment not to mess around. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 a: How did you add up the iodine? What kind did you use? Did you wean yourself off of it? Iodine is certainly very beneficial for most, but one has to proceed carefully with it. As a supplement, I understand it is not to be taken for more than 3 mos in a row, how long did you take it? Have your pituitary gland checked too.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hi Isa, I was on it for about a month and a half - I took one drop of trophic liquid iodine (one drop contains 0.25 mg of organically bound iodine) every three days The first few days I felt a rush of energy where I cleaned my house, played with my kids and made supper (this was a BIG deal) then it trailed away. I didn't wein off as i hardly considered myself on it, but a few months later I tried just one drop more, and 5 pounds quickly followed Any idea what the pitutary test is called? I will just check it off too. Would any supps skew results? a > > a: > How did you add up the iodine? What kind did you use?

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Have you been over to the iodine group yet? iodine/?yguid=257301752 Supplemental Iodine can trip up in few ways. It sets off detox, particularly of bromine. If too little is taken in the prescence of a goitrogenic substance it can set the scene for antibody production. It impacts on the pituitary and influences the oestrogen/progesterone ratio. It can influence histamine reactions. These are the few things that I know and there will be more that I don't. To take it safely it needs to be part of a protocol which includes Selenium, Magnesium, Vitamins C, B2 and B3, plus regular intake of unrefined seasalt and water. The Seasalt is important because the sodium from this helps to heal the mechanism that allows certain substances in and out of cells. There is also a salt loading protocol which can help speed up the detox and get you out of tricky reactions. The amount needed is quite individual - some people have bad reactions on microgram doses but do really well when they take doses of 50mg or more - and some people only need microgram doses every few days. If you have tests done while you are on your supps you know what your levels are based on what supplements you are taking, I guess its possible to work backwards from there about what to increase or decrease. It won't tell you what your body is really doing. It may tell you how well the supplements are being absorbed and supporting (or not) you.
