Re: Re: Iodine and thyroid ~

[Guest guest]

Several things here:

1) Iodine is the primary mineral in the creation of thyroid hormones - T4

means 4 iodine molecules so no iodine, no thyroid hormones.

2) There is a very strong correlation to fibromyalgia and hypothyroidism.

You can very easily google that and get more information.

3) Selenium is also a key nutrient to the creation of thyroid hormones. I

noticed you used to smoke. Smoking creates something called PO210 which

wipes out selenium in the body. You very well may be very low in selenium.

Low Selenium creates low Vit C and Magnesium as well. When magnesium is low

this will make it difficult to store calcium. Magnesium and calcium I

believe are key in fibromyalgia issues as well.

4) Iodine is antimicrobial and antibacterial so yes it is possible that the

increase in viruses and other things is due to low iodine.

5) Increased halides like bromide (in bakery products, computers and

fabrics), fluoride (water, toothpaste, teas, cold cereal), chloride (water,

pools) and mercury (vaccines, amalgam fillings) take up the same receptor

space as iodine so when iodine is low the body " uses " them instead but

cannot really used them it just ends up blocking receptors.

I am not sure if that was what you were looking for. Ask if you need more

help.

I take many supplements including over 500 mgs of magnesium, over 1000 mgs of Vit C, and some selenium, amongst other things.

I would up the Vit C to 2,000 mgs. Get 200-400 mcg of Selenium. You might also want to have your iron / ferritin & B12 levels checked as they are key on thyroid hormone synthesis. There is a list of thyroid nutrients on my website www.naturalthyroidchoices.com

Everything checks out fine. I actually have a slightly high RBC and hemoglobin count, but when I get blood tested, the iron gets drawn out.

Actually increasing iodine will increase metabolism and use up iron. That is what we are seeing with members on 100 mgs right now (myself included). Or ferritin levels are dropping due to increased need from higher metabolism.

So far, it hasn't been Terrible, but it's just one more concern that I have to watch out for. Roniclaudia <claudia_homer@...> wrote: I remember reading about hemochromatosis (too much iron).

That may be good or it may be bad. If you iron levels were to high to begin with, it could be good. If they were normal or a bit low, it could be bad. There are so many variables connected to each individual, that I don't believe that there is a one fits all protocol for anything, not just iodine.
