Guest guest Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 These are the last labs for my son, if you please, would like some help understanding them. Hakala Research- Iodine (spot) 0.0435 mg/L, ref. range (.1-0.45mg/L) Bromide (spot) 2095 mg/L, ref. range (<5mg/L) Reg. Lab TSH (S) 1.29, ref range .30-5.0 Free T4 1.1, ref range 07-2.0 Free T3 1.4, ref range 2.3-4.2 I also had the doc run a parathyroid test; PTH; Intact 14.14, ref range 10.00-65.00 Note: He is 17, and has been organic/gluten free/preservative free for 15 years, lessening his chance of bromide accumulation, and has never had fluoride, drinking water included (FYI, not one cavity, ever). Couple questions; 1. Is the spot test a decent indicator of bromide levels? 2. If so, is there a need to supplement with synthetic iodine/iodide or will sea vegetables do the trick to raise Iodine levels? He is currently getting between 100 and 150 mgs per day from a " safe -heavy metal and other contaminate free verified " sea vegetable arame and a couple drops of Cayce inspired iodine (to say that he is extremely sensitive is an understatement). 3. Do the thyroid levels look within " normal " range. 4. Does the parathyroid (PTH) result look OK? Looks kind of low to me but not sure if it is significant. 5. I would like to recheck his iodine levels, question is - how long after supplementation began do I check? Thanks in advance, Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
