Re: Bromide in serum tests

[Guest guest]

,Since bromide attaches to the iodine receptors which are on the glands, it would make sense to me that you may not get the full picture from the serum test. in Alaska

Isnt bromide testing primarily done via urine? Google hakalalabs and order their

test. thats what I did. I was 93% iodine, but 13% bromine which is above toxic

level.

You need the urine test for bromide which is available with the iodine loading

test.

There is testing information in Item #23 of the Guide to Supplementing.

A blood test is worthless. That's why you don't have good information. Here is

part of #23 but since this pasted badly I suggest you go to the Guide and read

the whole section. Hakala Labs is the least expensive option for getting

bromide testing, but like other labs it must be combined with an iodine loading

test:
