BUMP: Iodine after RAI with Grave's disease

[Guest guest]

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.

Iodine can be a form of an adaptogen. It normalizes functions. Taking the supporting nutrients will help to heal as well. I recommend reading Dr Brownstein's book in Iodine.

Steph,

Are there any oneline resources you can refer me to? With my TED (blurred and

dry eyes), reading a book is not possible right now.
