Guest guest Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 , what a great find! Lots of interesting info. I'm still digesting it. Meanwhile, I've added this to the links in a couple different ways. Thanks!

All these conflicting studies are giving me a headache. Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Agreed. They even had a doctor on there and several studies showing higher incidences of hypothyroidism in coastal Japan. Considering this is the very condition for which I was hoping iodine would help, I too am ensure how to proceed. I guess it is for this reason that I posted about the alternatives to Iodoral. That is, these other products contain lower concentrations, so I don't need to megadose with 5 mg, but can easily adjust to get only, say, 500 mcg, or 1 mg, etc.. - > > > > Here is a recent sci.med.nutrition discussion thread > > on iodine and hypothyroidism I thought y'all might > > find interesting: > > > > http://yarchive.net/med/iodine.html > > Well, I just had a chance to read this thread and it sure made a strong case > for not supplementing with a lot of Iodoral, no?

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I thought that doctor had many inconsistencies and he doesn't know what he's talkin' about. I looked through the other threads and he gives the same nonsense advice. I'm a bit iffy about him. To give an example he says that miso is antithyroid, which is actually the opposite! To treat thyroid diseases he suggests pulling it out and suplementing with synthroid for the rest of your life!

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 OK, I missed the inconsistencies, but I guess I was impressed with the studies on coastal Japanese showing increased hypo- thyroidism with high levels on iodine consumption. Nevertheless, considering my low-sodium diet (though a good 3 servings of dairy daily), I think iodine deficiency *could* be an issue for me. I am starting with around 500 mcg - 1 g via sea veggies and the supplements in my other post. I am also taking about 250 mg L-tyrosine, a precusor to the thyroid hormones. - > > > > > > > > > > Here is a recent sci.med.nutrition discussion thread > > > > on iodine and hypothyroidism I thought y'all might > > > > find interesting: > > > > > > > > http://yarchive.net/med/iodine.html > > > > > > Well, I just had a chance to read this thread and it sure made a > > strong case > > > for not supplementing with a lot of Iodoral, no?
