If it doesn't tell the percentages there's no way to know. It could be a

watered down version. Lugol's is 85% water, 10% potassium iodide and 5%

iodine.

JN,

I just read about this yesterday on Bee's new site. She does not

advise it and there is harm associated with it. Go to

www.healingnaturallybybee.com and enter Lugol's in the search.

==>Hi JN. May I ask that you use a complete name; initials isn't as

helpful to our blind member, Maddalena. Thanks.

==>Lugols iodine was one of the treatments that caused me to lose my

thyroid, and I do not believe it cures candida. Your body only

needs " trace " amounts of iodine; too much is just as damaging as

none. There's plenty of iodine on this program, particularly ocean

sea salt.

==>No, Inga. I didn't have Hashimoto's disease. I had candida and

that caused thyroid problems. On top of the fact that I ate soy and

didn't know it was damaging my thryoid. In addition, I was advised to

take Lugol's iodine, plus taking dessicated thyroid because my body

temperature was low - all of this tampering made my thyroid go into a

tizzy, whereupon I acquired severe Grave's disease (high thyroid). So

it had to be zapped because Grave's Disease could have caused a stroke

or heart attack.

==> , it wasn't only Lugol's iodine, however it contributed a lot

too. I also had soy and was overtreated with dessicated thyroid.

Iodine is only required in minute amounts by the body. As Sally

Fallon writes in her cookbook Nourishing Traditions, too much iodine

is just as damaging to the thyroid as too little.

Sounds like you were badly mistreated for thyroid problems.....this

is so typical....I just asked because Hashi's is a typical situation

where you DON " T want to take anything with iodine in it...I'm sure

you already know that though, LOL.

Too bad you didn't know about the soy back then...live and learn I

guess, and you have learned a lot.

I am not sure I understand why they were handing you the thryoid

and lugols if you were already headed in the direction of being

permanently hyper unless they didn't know what they were doing. Sorry

to hear that. They have trouble with the temperature part at the NTH

forum too, thinking that monitoring the temperature is so conclusive

when it is not always the case.

However, lots of people at the natural thyroid hormones board do get

help for their thyroid using lugols, but that doesn't mean it is for

everybody and all the time. Careful study tells one if it is a good

idea or not. Thyroid problems are not an easy as one, two three for

many people.......and most are badly mistreated in this area,

doctors being our our worst nightmares, of course.

Little did we know. That's why no one should ever believe anything

that is advertised.

==>At the time my thyroid function was very low, but continuing the

treatment past a certain point was the big mistake. I didn't know the

signs of an overactive thyroid and was never warned about it. But I

instinctively stopped taking dessicated thyroid, but 3 months later I

was in the hospital for uncontrollable vomiting and they discovered my

thickened neck and did tests. The rest is history, unfortunately.

==>That is oh so true. The thyroid isn't the only organ that

regulates temperature as well.

IMR----Yeah, I know.....I only learned about soy a few years ago

myself...I mean they are still pushing it

Bee, I'm just curious,.......do you know for a fact that you were not

in the down phase of Hasihimoto's, before it swang back up again?

And yeah,,,the signs of overactice thryoid can be almost

indistinguishable from low thyroid sometimes, and if you throw

another confusing element in there, candida, in this instance, it can

be very hard to tell.

So may I assume that you are now funcitoning with no thyroid gland of

your own and taking dessicated thyroid now, or just T4??

Thanks,

Inga

==>I'd never heard of Hashimoto's disease back when I had thyroid

problems, neither had my doctor (1985-87). I had an underactive

thyroid, which could be labelled as Hashimoto's by the definitions

used nowadays.

==>I experienced a major difference between my underactive thyroid

symptoms and when it became overactive (Grave's disease). There was

no doubt about the change. This often happens to the thyroid when it

is tampered with - it throws it into a tizzy.

==>Yes, I have no thyroid gland at all. I take mostly dessicated

thyroid plus a small amount of T4. I was on synthroid for about 7

years before finding out I would do much better on natural dessicated

thyroid, so I take a combination.
