Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Has anybody heard of thyroid dumps happening to folks on thyroid meds when starting iodine? It wouldn't be that abrupt would it? You'd notice yourself becoming hyper and could lower your dose. Thanx! ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 This happened to me but it was gradual and very limited. I wouldn't call it a dump - I would say the difference of a quarter grain at most. (which is what I reduced by) > > Has anybody heard of thyroid dumps happening to folks on thyroid meds > when starting iodine? It wouldn't be that abrupt would it?

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 You can have it where your thyroid works better and you feel hyper. If you are on thyroid meds the protocol that Dr. Brownstein recommends is to cut your thyroid meds in half and then increase up again as needed.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 , did you do that with no thyroid? I cut my Armour today from 3.25gr to 2 grains in desperation to lower my HR. It is still 112 resting. I reckon it will take a few days? ----- Original Message ----- From: ladybugsandbees Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2008 9:26 PM You can have it where your thyroid works better and you feel hyper.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 That's what Dr. B told me to do although I was scared to do it. I was still trying to get up to my optimum dose at that time.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Lynda, I just recently cut my Armour because of a dump caused by higher HC. I reduced more than half and was fine. I was at 6 and went to 2. Now at 3 and doing just fine. This was at T's advice. K > > , did you do that with no thyroid?
