Guest guest Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hello: Can I jump in here and ask what this particular saliva test would be for? Is this for Thyroid function, because if it is, I didn’t know there was such a test. If it is for hormones, then what connection would Iodine have to hormones? If there is a connection between Iodine and Hormone levels, I would like to know about it. Thanks, Bonnie From: iodine [mailto:iodine ] On Behalf Of christine.barry76 Sent: Friday, February 24, 2012 11:39 AM iodine Subject: Saliva test I saw a naturopath last week and she wasn't supportive about using Iodine. She wants me to stop but I'm going to continue on. However, I did purchase a saliva test from her so I will need to see her again to get the results. I'm due to take the test on Sunday. Should I stop taking iodine before the test? I would like to get an accurate reading and I'm not sure if iodine will skew the results.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hi Bonnie. It's a saliva test for hormones. I have no idea if you can test thyroid hormones with it. The ND wanted me to stop taking all iodine and I'm not comfortable doing that. So I was just curious if taking iodine the day of the saliva test could skew the results. > > Hello: > > Can I jump in here and ask what this particular saliva test would be for? > Is this for Thyroid function, because if it is, I didn't know there was such > a test.
