Iodone 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.
