Re: Results from Loading Test

Unfortunately Doctors Data does not do the testing the same way as Hakala, VRP or Flechas. I don't think you can compare them. But that being said your bromide is relatively high. That would make me suspect of that high excretion number. How long and what dose of iodine are you on?

Thanks , I started taking iodine dec of last year, the doctor said to

take 12.5 mg

but after a week, I upped it to 25 mg and took that until June when he finally

mentioned I

should be taking some magnesium with it and was horrified I was taking more then

12.5

mg.

I wondered what else he hadn't bothered to mention and I think I was thinking

clearer

found and joined this group. Since about July I have been taking 50 mg and have

had no

detox symptoms at all but I have had a lot of improvement in things like my hair

isn't

falling out anymore and my skin isn't so dry but most of all I noticed my teeth

are not

sensitive anymore after about 30 years of being miserable by those things and

more, I feel

like I have improved a lot. I did go back on Armour this week after not taking

it for 2 years

after having 3 grains a day for 20 years with no improvement, I gave up on it

because it

seemed to give me good blood tests but didn't help with any of my symptoms.

Thanks for the help, I really don't understand these tests.

My bromide was 19 & I have Hypo.Call Hakala they will explain your results happily.They told me that 4-7 bromide is normal in adultsso anything over that is high.AliOn Dec 16, 2008, at 5:42 PM, ladybugsandbees wrote:Unfortunately Doctors Data does not do the testing the same way as Hakala, VRP or Flechas.  I don't think you can compare them.  But that being said your bromide is relatively high.  That would make me suspect of that high excretion number.  How long and what dose of iodine are you on?  Steph    Results from Loading TestI received these today from Hakala Research Total iodine excreted 42.6 mg% Iodine excreted 85.2%Total Bromide excreted 20.7 mgLast December I had just the Iodine Loading Test done, the results were from Doctors DataIodine 31 reference 0.1 - 0.45 % Excretion 24 hour 62%Creatinine 1350 reference 600 - 1900 mg/24 hour

I agree. Dr. B says that the 20's are high. It should be lower but what is feasible in this environment - who knows????

I guess I thought 20s weren't too bad, should I take more Iodoral or just

continue as I am?

I was surprised somewhat that my T3 & T4 hadn't really improved in a year and

kind of

wonder if my thyroid is even using it or it is just going through me but my

symptoms have

improved, I guess I expected the Iodoral to do more.

Thanks for the input

I am for pushing the envelope - as is evidenced by my being at 125 mgs. Are you getting vit C and Celtic Salt? I would probably increase to 75 mgs and see what happens.

I get the celtic salt but only about 1500 mg of vitamin C, any more gives me

extremely

loose stools to the point I can't make it to the bathroom and I got tired of

that so I lowered

it to a level where I am not housebound all the time. I take all the cofactors

just not

enough C.

Try an ester C and see if that helps.

weeks.
