IMO you need a higher dose of iodine/iodide. the thyroid gland prefers

iodide.

Yes, but mainly temporarily. They used to give iodine before surgery to

get thyroid production to drop. However, with longer term

administration, the gland should rebound if it is healthy. Just be

aware, iodine will not restore a failing or failed gland. You need to

replace the hormone. Iodine will clearly help with effects of an iodine

deficiency. Gracia will tell you that massive doses will help with other

things, but you will still need to replace the hormone(s) that the gland

produced.

Note that the tincture only contains elemental iodine. Your thyroid

gland is more likely to take up and use iodide, the anion form. The

magical effects Gracia claims come from a mixture of iodine and iodide.
