Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hypo is caused by inadequate intake of iodine, combined with excessive exposure to othe halides, which block absorbtion of what iodine is ingested, right? (Forget about perchlorate, or othe things that might damage thyroid, for this discussion). Those who are Hyper must be exposed to these same halides, they are everywhere, right? And probably similar diet. But, even if they are eating shrimp and lobster every day, and consciously (or not) avoiding eating goiterogens, still left with " How are they getting enough iodine to their Thyroids, to not only make adequate levels of thyroid hormone, but to make excessive levels? " O.k, so there is either something wrong with the HPA axis, resulting in too mush TSH, or something wrong with the thyroid itself, resulting in overproduction.Thats irrelevent, unless enough iodine can get into the thyroid, right?Seems to me the most logical explanation is their bodies have evolved, so that their receptors are able to distinguish between Iodine and the other halides; their thyroid iodine receptors don't allow other halides in, so they don't block receptors.Thoughts?????Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
