BUMP: Iodine after RAI with Grave's disease> > > > > I have done some reading on how iodine is used with Grave's patients to "shock" their thyroid into temporarily shutting down. Then it starts back up after the iodine wears off and many people reach remission.> > > > I am a post-RAI Grave's patient with very little functioning thyroid tissue left (2004). How will iodine help me? I have read Elaine (author and researcher on autoimmune diseases) say that iodine is not recommended for Grave's because it increase antibody production. It is very confusing so I am hoping someone can clarify the benefits/risks of iodone.> > > > Debbie> >>
