Guest guest Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Everyone needs iodine. It is an essential element, not an optional one. So, of course, it will benefit all that ingest it, by definition. You can't live without it. Helping your baldness is nice but it goes far beyond that. That said, my hair loss after six months of 100+mg of iodine is way way down. The other benefits though far outweigh that. Here is a site that might help: http://heartspring.net/anemia_symptoms_signs_treatments.html People with that type of surgery are at risk for absorption issues. One of the main ones is vitamin B-12, the lack of which causes pernicious anemia. It is extremely important that she is getting it into her bloodstream in sufficient amounts! Anyway, she needs to know her B-12 status first and that's done by a blood test. Actually she needs to know her status wrt all the major indices: D3, CRP, ferritin, T3, T4, etc. Life Extension Foundation has a sale now, for its members, on its blood panel tests. I would talk to an adviser there about which tests she should get in light of her operation. First year membership, $45, include a lot of benefits. www.lef.org Peace and gratitude, Dean ========================================================= > > I have searched through the postings and the iodine4health site, but have found little concerning iodine supplementation and its effect (or lack thereof) on those with anemia.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 My iron levels have gone low and I'm on 100 mg iodine/day. Should I reduce the iodine, say to 50 mg? I don't notice any difference from taking it, other than that my goiter and nodules aren't growing. -AngieOn Feb 9, 2012, at 11:43 PM, Baker wrote: Tim-- Everyone needs iodine for health, and almost no one gets enough, particularly because we are bombarded on a daily basis with toxic halides that mimic iodine in the body and cause disease.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Excuse me for butting in but I want to be clear on the iron vs. Iodine issue. I'm taking 25 mg of Iodoral and planned to go up to 37.5 soon. I also have low iron and ferritin saturation which manifests itself in heart palls and skipped beats. I feel really good since I started the iodine and salt regimen two weeks ago but am getting a bit of the skipped heart beats again. I have a strong feeling this is a sign of my iron levels down. I take 10ml of Floradix. What should I do? Increase iron intake or lower iodine? I really want o be able to take more iodine.Sent from my iPadOn Feb 11, 2012, at 2:06 PM, Totten <afaltotten@...> wrote: My iron levels have gone low and I'm on 100 mg iodine/day.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012  Are you taking magnesium and the other companion nutrients that are recommended to take while taking iodine? I know for me, magnesium calms my heart and keeps it regular. Kind regards, Kathleen moderator Re: Iodine and Anemia Excuse me for butting in but I want to be clear on the iron vs. Iodine issue.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Yes, I am taking the companion nutrients but am worried what to do if my iron goes down further. I'm not taking potassium bc I didn't feel well taking it so I'm waiting until I get my blood tests done again.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012  Hi all, I have been wondering if low iron whilst on iodine may have something to do with vitamin C. I have noted that increasing vitamin C even through something as simple as drinking fresh juice with meals helps one get more iron from foods. It seems that there may be competition for the vitamin C. Possibly one needs more than 2g/day in this case?

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Just to butt in, I'm interested, Kathleen, I'm having a hard time finding a decent magnesium. What kind do you use?
