Guest guest Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 You must stick with it and read all that is put up at the iodine group. It's a long process of learning everything that needs to be learned and to gain information from everyone's experience. You seem to feel that you live in some special magical bubble because you're in the UK. Bromide is in everything, not just bread. You have as much bromide in the UK as the rest of the world. Just because you don't understand what it is, doesn't mean it's not all around you every second of the day. People don't heal because they want it fast and they want it now. Healing takes a long time, a strong focus and the desire to be whole again. Everyone heals at a different rate and by different standards. What's true for one may not be true for others. Same with the adrenal protocol, the thyroid protocol and every other protocol out there. Cheers, JOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I am hypothyroid. Will it help if I take Kelp to increase my iodine levels? I have been on 100mcg of Levo for a few years now.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 First and foremost, it is always best to get tested to see if you do suffer with an iodine deficiency. your GP should do this. I would highly recommend that you buy Dr Peatfield's Book - Your Thyroid and How to Keep it Healthy - you will find a lot of answers in there. Luv - Sheila I am hypothyroid. Will it help if I take Kelp to increase my iodine levels? I have been on 100mcg of Levo for a few years now. Last T4 and TSH blood tests were ok.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hi A: We no longer recommend kelp because our seas are contaminated, which means the kelp is contaminated. You don't want to put anything in your body which may have heavy metals in it or anything else which may be bad for the system. We use Lugol's iodine drops or Iodoral tablets for iodine supplementation. 95% of the population is deficient in iodine and it is in epidemic proportions now. If you want to learn more about supplementing with iodine, you can join the .group: iodine/ We follow Brownstein's expertise on the subject. He is the authority on the subject.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 "Is is ok, or not to take iodine tablets when taking levothyroxine? I take 100 mcg a day levothyroxine and wondered whether taking iodine would help or hinder, as one of the reasons for being hypothyroid I thought was lack of iodine in the diet." Dear Anne, To find out more about iodine and thyroid problems go to www.optimox.com and read the iodine research page. Taking iodine can be a double edged sword if you have a thyroid problem. In the short term it can make you feel better but in the long term it can make your condition deteriorate. Many doctors agree that lack of iodine is the cause of thyroid problems, but not many doctors know how to get iodine back into your body without messing things up even more. If you have fibrocystic breasts it is highly likely that you have iodine deficiency even if your uring iodine test comes back OK. The above link explains about the Iodine Protocol. This treatment can be followed when taking thyroid medicine and it allows the body to absorb iodine without all the drawbacks usually associated with it. This is not another "internet fad". The doctor who developed this protocol is a prize winning gynecologist obstetrician and endocrinologist from the University of California and Los Angeles.
