Son's Lab results

[Guest guest]

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,
