Guest guest Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Hi , Doesn't high doses of iodine supress the thyroid? I know there is a lot of conflicting evidence about its role.

This is a pretty high dose for her, but, she is very happy on it and says that it gives her energy. There do not seem to be set recommendations. I have taken my advice from the Iodine Yahoo Group. You would probably need to start low with say 1 or 2 drops of Lugol's and gradualy work up. We started off with 1 x Iodoral 12.5mg and worked up over a period of 4 weeks, ensuring that my daughter was taking all of the companion nutrients.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 isn't there a big risk with high dose iodine, in that it can easily trigger autoimmune thyroid disease?
