Re: no more iodine for me

[Guest guest]

Eeeeks...j/k'ing...we might be too much alike Gracia...I have folders

in my Outlook, where I save all 'digests' of the boards...

My aunt is a retired RN...she's a 2 X survivor of breast cancer and 1

X of uterine cancer. I plan to send her a link to

breastcancerchoices. I know she'll be very interested as she has

become an advocate for anything Breast Cancer awareness! ...and if

she doesn't like what she sees, rest assured, I WILL hear about it, in

no uncertain terms...gently, yet firmly...and I'll ultimately decide

for myself.

I got the impression that they believe anyone with breast cancer,

uterine cancer or prostrate cancer is iodine deficient...if not

initially, then the treatments will cause them to be.

It was a typo--was suppose to be IICRC...if I can recall correctly...

When I was reading breastcancerchoices, a metal taste in your mouth

was the sign you had exceeded your deficiency needs...should quit the

iodine until the taste went away, then move to a maintenance

dose...'otherwise, you would be overdosing yourself' was my

interpretation.

>

>

> I don't know what IIRCC means! if I remember correctly? C?

metal taste is actually not a symptom of iodism. it's a bromide detox

symptom. iodine moves toxins and heavy metals out of tissues. the

metal taste goes away with enough iodine/iodide.

If you are a member of the ADRENAL group, there were some discussions

a few days ago regarding the various adrenal hormones and how they

interact to raise and lower...each other...and the sex hormones too...

I guess I'll find out soon enough then...I'm reading 3 books (well 4

if you count an old Erma Bombeck book for something light and to make

me laugh)...reading 'STTM', 'Hypothyroidism Type2', and 'Iodine Why

You Need It'...also have sitting on the stand next to my desk, with

plans to have finished these and the following by the 16th...'Eat

Right 4 Your Type', 'Hypothyroidism: The Unsuspected Illness',

'Feeling Fat, Fuzzy, or Frazzled?' and 'The Easy Way to Stop Smoking'.

ER4YT, is lowest of my priorities of these though, so I won't beat

myself up if I don't have it finished by then.

I do digest, but usually read from the boards...headings that I'm

following, rather than wait for a digest to arrive. Then, skimming

the digests is enough to decide which threads I want to actually

participate in and which I just want to observe.

Anyway...you're forgiven... ;-)

150 ¦Ìg/L is the recommended intake level, so the U.S. is still slightly

over

the recommended level, but not by enough to warrant concern about

over-consumption. Most people can tolerate at least 1,000 ¦Ìg/L of

iodine

daily without adverse effects. People with underlying autoimmune thyroid

disease or who have previously been iodine deficient, may tolerate less.

Our general concern is with under-consumption, but we must be careful to

keep within the " window " of safe intakes.

Re: no more iodine for me

When I went to the link, I confirmed the 'pipe' character was the

translation of u (closest I have to the micro symbol as charmap

characters don't translate either) in the post below.

I was not familiar with the Salt Institute, so I looked at the

following...I'm posting the following here as there may be others who

are not aware either...

What is the Salt Institute?

Book cover: Facts About Modern Manufacturing

The Salt Institute is the world's foremost source of authoritative

information about salt (sodium chloride) and its more than 14,000

known uses. The Institute is a North American-based non-profit salt

industry trade association dedicated to advocating responsible uses of

salt (NaCl), particularly to ensure winter roadway safety, quality

water and healthy nutrition. Associations make a difference in

society. Founded in 1914, the Institute's membership consists of salt

producers (manufacturers). It provides public information and

advocates on behalf of its members, including use of this website.

Membership eligibility is limited to companies which both produce and

market sodium chloride. ...
