test results for iodide spot test & iodine loading test

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My number for the iodide spot test is 0.109L and for the I & I loading, 25L and

I & I saturation,

50L. I talked with Dr Flechas on the phone and he told me to start with 50 mg

of Iodoral, do

the ATP co-factors and the supplements too and do it for 2-3 years with periodic

retesting. I

still don't have a sense of the numbers. The number for the spot test, 0.109L

falls within the

range of 0.100 and 0.150mg which defines a borderline deficiency. Dr Flechas

didn't see it

that way and said " I have a problem. " I started all this because my

thermagraphy " showed

increased hyperthermia but no evidence of increased density or new blood

supply. " Any

thoughts? Anyway we are supposed to report our results.

I am still fuzzy on spot testing numbers - I need to clarify it with Dr. Brownstein.

Your loading test / saturation numbers do show that you are 50% saturated. Goal is 90%. So you have a way to go. I would say that it will take at least 2-3 years at 50 to get saturated. I have been on doses from 50 - 125 and still am registering 64%.

I don't know Dr. Brownstein's thoughts on the spot test, but Dr. Shevin

said last year that he saw no correlation in his patients with the spot

test and deficiency/sufficiency. He said it was only an indication of how

much iodine was ingested in the last 24 hours. If I remember correctly he

also said that he tested himself a number of times and got various

readings.
