Fw: Re: Adrenals and Iodine/IRON

[Guest guest]

I wanted to make sure someone saw this.

I read the dangers of iron, but will iodine correct my iron?

See below:

OMG! This is crazy info and scary.

So if my iron is low and my RT3 high because of it, what is the right way to correct iron?

I wouldn't be so quick to supplement iron. I certainly wouldn't be supplementing without knowing for sure that an infection doesn't exist in the body as supplementing iron will only exacerbate the problem. That requires a CBC/Diff and quite a few other tests. There are many factors to be considered regarding iron, a low or not optimal ferritin is not a good indicator of a need for iron. If you were getting weekly iron shots with no resolve of the issue, it would prudent to look for other issues that are wrecking havoc with iron in the body.

,As Jim explained, from what I read on the adrenals forum iron is needed for T3 cell absorption. I asked a couple weeks ago about high Rt3 (689) and was led to the adrenal forum.I quickly learned that because my iron is very very low (ferritin is 4)that taking t3 would not help. My ND did put me on 20mgs t3/t4 but I know iron is the biggest key. I used to get weekly iron shots but had to stop due to negative reactions to the "fillers" in the injections. Now after my recent labs my ND has had a reformulation of the iron shots but I'm dubious.Can you tell me more about the infusions your daughter gets? I have never found ANYTHING that gives me more energy. My husband and ND,are the only ones that believes that just because I don't want to do anything, I'm not just being lazy. My ND has also told me intravenous is the way to go but a few preliminary calls to other practitioners made me feel like I just didn't know what I was really asking

for. Any thoughts...anyone?Karin>> Why can you not take cytomel with low iron? I don¹t understand. My dd¹s> iron tends to go low, and oral supplements interfere with absorption of> other meds.
