In December, 2010 I was diagnosed (by ultrasound) with a goiter and about 6

small nodules. I started taking Iodoral in March. I saw another doctor in

August who checked my neck and said he did not feel a goiter. I haven't had

another ultrasound to verify this, but I was very excited to have that news. I

have no way to know for sure that it was because of iodine, but I am not on any

thyroid meds. I would think very hard about letting them do anything to your

thyroid.

Well, I had a multi-nodular goiter clearly visible to someone looking at me. The

biopsies were normal but I clearly have hypo symptoms. Within two weeks of

starting iodine (I didn't ramp up but hit the ground running at 50MG) my neck

looks totally normal. The size has shrunk by 90%. I haven't seen a doc yet

because frankly, they've all sucked and I don't see the point in spending money

on them when everything I've done to make myself better has come from my own

research and NEVER from a doc.

Go to the files section of this forum. There are some photos of a 12 year old

girl who had goiter before and after taking iodoral. You will see what it does

to a goiter! Do not try and win an argument with your doctor or try to

convince him you are right. You have got better things to do like getting

better and you cannot take on the whole of the pharmaceutical industry and

medical establishment single handed. Using iodine might save you a lot of

discomfort and an operation.

If you are frightened about what might happen if you don't do what your doctor

says, have a good read of Dr Abraham's articles on the Iodine Research page of

this site www.optimox.com. Personally, after reading all this I ended up being

frightened by what might happen to me if I didn't stop doing what my doctor

said!

Also, if you are frightened by the idea of taking iodine internally, try

painting it on the outside of your goiter first. Apparently this works quite

well as well. If there is an adverse affect you can stop.

The bottom line in all this is who you believe. Other people cannot make up

your mind for you. I should read some of Dr Abraham's publications. He has won

two prizes for his work and is a qualified obstetrician/gynecologist and

endocrincologist. He is sufficiently sure of his ideas to publish them all on

the net and expose them to the scrutiny of his peers. How much has your doctor

published? And is his opinion being scrutinised by his peers or by anyone on a

regular basis?! How much reading do you think he has done on this subject since

leaving medical school?

Actually, he's widely published, is one of the "good docs," and one of the pioneers in the use of T3. On Feb 6, 2012, at 12:23 AM, <s.macgilxrist@...> wrote:
