Does too much inorganic iodine cause the thyroid to shut down?

[Guest guest]

Hi there, back to the group after a year away!

Would you please help me? My pharmacist said that taking too much inorganic

iodine will eventually cause the thyroid to " shut down " .

I lent my copy of the Brownstein Iodine book to someone, so I can't look it up

for myself.

I looked on the iodine4health website, and the only thing they say about this

subject is that taking a certain amount is toxic. They don't say what toxic

means or if the " thyroid shuts down " .

Can someone please post a link to answer this question? Then I can show the

pharmacist.

Thanks! And thanks again to who selflessly helps us with this site!!!
