hmmm...I thought maybe you guys were just running a different browser

(I run FireFox!)...so I hunted down my Internet Explorer (it's not

even an option on my desktop 'cause I sometimes let others use my

computer and I hate Internet Explorer!...but it looks identical in IE!

There are 3 frames...the left frame is the 'Table of Contents'...the

center/right top frame is the chapter I am directing you to (chapter

20)...the bottom frame is the 'references/citations' for the page.

At the bottom of the center frame (the page of chapter 20--you have to

scroll down in 'that' frame; all 3 frames are scrollable independently

of your browser window's scroll function) you'll find where it says

'Next'. Click on 'Next' and it will 'turn the page' of the book for you.

One question is, how much iodine did our paleo ancestors get? That

should be basic amount for a otherwise healthy person.

I had actually considered that, but as I've never heard of any process

in which iodine in large doses could act as a psychotropic then I had

pretty much discounted it. Of course, there are claims of psychological

addition [such as to email? {ggg}]but I have no idea as to whether there

is credible support for the idea.

So I'm wondering how much/if this is a joke; and if not do you know of a

process by which it might work? As strange as it seems to me that is

the best explanation I've heard [since I've heard no others at all]. Of

course my personal knowledge is limited; but I haven't read any

explanations from those with so much greater education than I. But

after typing the above I went here

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addiction> and see repeated references to

psychological addiction or compulsive disorders.

Based upon my limited education I can't see what massive doses of iodine

could possibly accomplish physiologically. In a person with a

functioning thyroid gland the normal intake [about the RDA] is mostly

removed from the bloodstream by the thyroid gland gland. But I don't

think it can remove anything remotely approaching 100 mg per day; so

your recent suggestion that one's kidneys would just remove and dump 90

to 99% of it seems reasonable. That is, if the kidneys are capable of

same. So as you can see I'm floundering...

Well, someone _did_ refer to the T3 in Armour as the " feel good " drug.

But with Armour you're only taking 200% of the manufacturer's

recommendation; not the 6600% of RDA that you're taking of iodine.

Do you personally have any idea as to how the iodine could actually act

physiologically to provide the benefits you seem to receive?

This is the only reference that I see to taking 50 mg/day of iodine [but

I did not read all of it; just scanned]. And it totally fails to deal in

any manner at all with the basic question I'm trying to answer: What is

the proposed theory of how massive doses of iodine [many times RDA]

could benefit the patient? IOW, what is the proposed physiological

process??? So far I have: Placebo, chance and addition [physiological or

psychological].

If there's something I missed could you copy and past the url to the

specific location?

First you have to go here:

..

<http://www.thyroidmanager.org/Chapter20/20-frame.htm>

Then you can click on the section on the right side of your screen [just

above REFERENCES]: " Side Effects of Iodine Supplementation "

..

<http://www.thyroidmanager.org/Chapter20/ch01s06.html#id2527682>

..

But I don't see much about using 50 mg/day; just the one reference. And

it certainly isn't recommended there. There's nothing about a theory at

all. Maybe I missed it???

For reasons I have posted before I have little faith in the material on

Unfortunately I do not have the education necessary to evaluate it.

That is why I prefer peer reviewed research: The validity of the study

can be determined by those qualified to do so. Then the results can

[sometimes] be simplified to the level that I can understand.

BTW, it appears I've misquoted the percentage of iodine RDA that you

take. I think Chuck may have pointed this out to me but I failed to

understand it. Anyway, the iodine RDA is 150 ug [micrograms], or .15 mg

[milligrams], and you take 100 mg. But 100/.15=666.666..., not the

66.666... I have previously quoted. If I've finally gotten it right then

you're taking 66,666% or the RDA; not the 6,600+ % I previously quoted.

One decimal place off...

I refer to this as a " massive dose " because I know of no credible

research that supports the effacy of the use of iodine doses much above

the order of the RDA. I sincerely wish that the studies could be safely

done in a credible manner.

GOOD question IMHO. It no doubt was a heck of a lot less than our

ancestors got when they swam in the iodine rich oceans. So along the

line somewhere they had to adapt to much less iodine. Something called

evolution.

Whatever the number I suspect it will be on the same order as the RDA;

not several hundred or several thousand higher.

Hunter-gatherers probably got at least the RDA pretty consistently,

otherwise brain development might not have been possible. Once they

started agriculture, that added goitrogen plants to the mix, so they

would have needed more.

It is very unlikely that wild foods would have contributed more than 1

mg per day, unless they mostly ate kelp. Even seafood won't do that.

Since it's in a frame, I can't post a link any more than I already

have. I tried to post a table, but it wouldn't display correctly, so

you'll have to go directly to the source...btw, the

references to mg vs. ug should all be accurate as stated since

whatever application used to generate this book is able to recognize both.

As the populations covered increased, the injection dosage has been

reduced. The latest recommendations by WHO-UNICEF-ICCIDD is shown in

Table 8. Even lower doses have been recommended by some authors (153,

154).

Table 8. Recommended doses of iodized oil in the prevention of the

disorders induced by iodine deficiency.

Sometimes you can open a frame in a new tab all by it's lonesome(right

click, select open frame in new tab). That makes it easer to reference

(URL wise) and for me, it makes it easer to print and/or save the part I

want.

I agree, but by not paging down, you missed tables of the data from

tests they conducted on populations that were iodine deficient...the

use of amounts double to quadruple what Gracia is currently using.

Then once the deficiency was reversed, they reduced the amount of

daily intake.

I do not recommend 100mg Iodoral/Lugols per day for everyone. most peeps

start with 50mg.

Gracia

,

You are still mixing up micrograms and milligrams. I am very familiar

with WHO recommendations to eliminate IDD, since I helped raise funds

for that project for several years. Although they do increase salt

supplements to get above the targeted RDA, it is by a factor of about 3,

which is still much less than 1 mg. Gracia takes and recommends 100 mg

per day.

Hi Steve,

In my Firefox browser, I have a 'save frame as' option that I'll

admit, I tend to forget about...*blush*...also, the way printing is

setup, it actually converts everything (even what exceeds the limits)

so all the information on a page or in a frame is included, unless I

set my printing options to exclude certain elements.

Sometimes, though, I just opt to copy and paste only the specific

materials I want into Word, then print or save the Word document.

I also tend to forget that I can open a frame in a new tab of its

own...so now that you've brought this to my attention, maybe I'll be

more inclined to remember that in the future...thanks!

Chuck,

Maybe you misread my post or didn't look at table 8, but it

specifically says they supplemented with 200 - 400 hundred milligrams

of iodine. All of the tables throughout chapter 20 (since I haven't

investigated the other chapters yet, I won't make any claims regarding

them) properly use the ug (charmap symbol will not translate correctly

to here) and mg symbols.

Although I do agree they did not use these amounts in most all of

their supplemental programs and did use only amounts in the ranges you

are stating...in the case of Delange however, why am I to believe that

suddenly, after all of their other tables are correctly converted to

ug, that this table incorrectly converted to mg?

Although it is, and has been, taught in our public schools as the 'be

all, end all', that doesn't change that it is still only a theory, the

'Theory of Evolution' (all of my biology books also stated it as

such!)...please support yourself with non-ideological beliefs...It has

become politically incorrect, if you will, to support any

issues/statements based on 'divine intervention', what some also

consider a 'theory', although I, personally, do happen to believe...I

won't use 'divine intervention' to support my statements and/or

comments (which to this point I haven't either), if you won't use your

belief in the 'theory of evolution' to support yours...any and all

claims based on 'evolution' in the sense of Darwin's ideas

loses all credibility, in my opinion (it just sounds like a good

excuse to explain anything unknown away). I do however believe in an

applicable definition of 'evolving', such as happens in our mental

perspectives as we learn and remake ourselves and our opinions based

on what we have learned/experienced. ;-)

Gracia, I haven't made any statements regarding what your

recommendations are for anyone (although I do recognize that others

have)...only that my understanding is you are taking 100 mg of iodine

and that was to use as a comparison with table 8 of chapter 20 in the

book we are discussing, available at thyroidmanager.org, or linked

directly via an earlier post of mine...
