Re: Wanting to start iodine due Hashi's

[Guest guest]

Hi Jagrati,I can't answer all your questions. But one part of your post caught my attention. " Hopefully by that time I will have income. I plan to do all the recommended supplements and salt loading etc.  "

Although I understand the desire to start the road toward health, I, personally, would not start the protocol until I could do the companion supplements as they work in harmony to help your body heal.

Hello,

This is my first post. I was diagnosed with a high level of Hashi's with nodules 1 1/2 yrs ago. My TSH was 1.09 which I was told is normal. I was advised not to do iodine for Hashi's.

I have been on Low Dose Naltrexone and mostly gluten free with some improvement in energy, but I am still depressed, have low energy, am overweight and have chronic pain from old back injury.

I joined this group looking for answers. Although I cannot afford a consultation or tests at this time, I am prepared to borrow money to buy iodoral.

Is it reckless of me to start a protocol without the recommended testing? Having read that lack of iodine is the cause of all autoimmune thryroid probs, I assume it isn't.

My intuition tells me to work up to 50mg of the pill form and then test after 3 months to see if my levels are good. Hopefully by that time I will have income. I plan to do all the recommended supplements and salt loading etc.

Is this a reasonable plan in your opinion? I understand that I am responsible for my own health and am very grateful for your informative files section and support of the group.

I had a lot of improvement on LDN but the iodine protocol really upped my

health. Strongly

recommend.

Most people do not get tested. That is no problem. If you take in more iodine

than your

body can use, it is harmlessly washed out of the body in the urine.

Why don't you use Lugol's liquid, which is much cheaper than Iodoral?

3 months is not anywhere near long enough to achieve conclusive results, much

less to

need testing. You can go by how you feel.
