RE: Iodine, Selenium, HyperT questions - Help!

[Guest guest]

selenium is fairly cheap you know! how much lugols have you been

taking? iodine used to be THE treatment for hyperT--you can read

about it at http://www.optimox.com click on research. maybe you

need companion nutrients and a different dose of lugols.

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me by answering some

questions for me.

I'm hyperthyroid and after doing a lot of reading I think

that it's because I've been taking Lugols for the last 18

months or so and am very likely deficient in Selenium.

I've been reading this article http://www.greenwillowtree.com/Page.bok?file=selenium.iodine.html

and feel that I've found my answer.

I raced out and bought a bag of Brazil nuts because I'm

not going to be able to get my usual range of supplements

until after easter.

Me being me I had 4 brazil nuts on Sunday and a raw fudge

made with brazil nuts also that night and today - so quite

a few nuts and possibly quite a bit of selenium.

Today I've just felt horrid - everything is sore, my heart

rate is up around 100 beats a minute when resting, my

temperature is 37.8C and I've been crying since I left

work this afternoon.

What I realised at lunchtime is that two supps that I was

taking have iodine in them so I won't be taking them for a

couple of weeks at least.

My question is anyone knows is how long should I wait

after stopping iodine before I start the Selenium (I'll be

starting slow!).

I'd appreciate any help!

Thanks, Sue.

Dear Sue Are you under the care of a physician who knows about iodine? My concern would not be so much that you have heart rate of 100 bpm, although that is bothersome, but whether it’s associated with an arrhythmia. You need to get that looked at.

This reads like you have been doing Lugals for 18 months but NOT using any selenium that whole time?  If not selenium also not the other companion nutrients? 

 

Sounds like the issue might more be the iodine in absence of the companion nutrients.  Brazil nuts although a good food source of selenium really don't provide that much, and not enough for this protocol.

 

Also - how much iodine were you taking daily?

I'm confused. You need to take iodine & selenium TOGETHER. If you were taking iodine without selenium, that could be contributing to your problems. And if you take selenium without iodine, that still won't get you sorted out. Or am I misreading this?AnneOn Apr 19, 2011, at 10:09 PM, wolesu wrote:
