Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 So much for my theory. But I have to say that he stopped thyroid meds a few months before he died. The onset of depression could have sneaked up on him. It could just be side-effects of an antidepressant... who knows. ________________________________ From: Gracia <circe@...> hypothyroidism Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2009 9:58:03 AM Subject: Skipper yes I think you are right, but if you remember he didn't take very much iodine either (25mg?) less than 50mg of iodine made me very depressed, and now we know he committed suicide. RIP and fare thee well Skipper. Gracia The more I think of it the more I am convinced that something was up with Skippers heart. He never supplemented magnesium even during Iodine dosing. He said it made him sick. He even said that he took a epsom salt bath once and he became fatigued and was ill for days. That indicates that he more than likely had a potassium deficiency or some serious heart issue. If one is mag deficient for long enough... potassium is lost. " Magnesium deficiency eventually leads to a loss of potassium because of its role in maintaining the enzyme responsible for pumping potassium into the cell. A magnesium deficiency occurring in a pre-existing potassium deficiency increases the potassium loss even more. " http://www.orthomol ecular.org/ library/jom/ 1998/articles/ 1998-v13n04- p215.shtml He stopped thyroid meds if you remember. That will lower magnesium more. I wish I would have known more then about the magnesium/potassium link and how fatigued potassium deficiency will make you...I would have pushed him harder to take the RBC analysis for magnesium. He sure liked to argue with me. I guess well never know why he died at such an young age.
