Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I am a bad one to ask as I am really pretty anti iodine. I have read and heard from some pretty decent doctors that the iodine loading test is NOT accurate. Besides doe sthismake sense.. Your body si thowing OUT 64% if what you took in. Meaning ti cannto use it. TOO MUCH. That is what that would tell me. I usually have a rpetty logical mind and when you ar taking THYROID hormones you are taking IODINE and all you need if you ar taking full replacement as most of us are. In Hashimoto's it stimulates the thyroid to work. That si how your body uses iodine. It makes it ointo thyroid hormones which then travel through the blood to various places to do it;s work. If you have low thyroid due to actual iodine deficiency, it would behelopfukl to take iodine to help your thyroid work. if you have Hashimoto's stimulating your thyroid to work stimulates antibopdies to attck it and destroy it. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 The iodine loading test is NOT accurate. Some people with Hashi's do ok with iodine, but I think a high percentage do not. I would particularly worry about the mega doses of iodine commonly recommended. Perhaps the Hashi's people who do not do well with extra iodine are the ones that have both Hashi's antibodies and Grave's antibodies. It is apparently not all that uncommon to have both. sol largo_di wrote: > If your iodine loading test shows your iodine as being low (64% > excretion), can you never hope to get it up any higher if you > shouldn't take iodine? > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 The only iodine in Armour is what is part of the molecular structure of the hormone molecules.. it's not an iodine source. Anything else that might be in there is just trace. Autoimmune antibody levels can vary dramatically over a very short period of time for some people.. which is why it can be so difficult to diagnose. Do you happen to have copies of the labs that were run? I'm curious as to what the doc was looking at to consider starting hormone replacement. What dose of Armour was she started on? How long was she on it when the labs were run?

Iodione is considered a TRACE mineral, in other words, we only need trace amounts of ti, and thyroid hormones contain about 65% iodine. so for eeveery 100mcg of T4 you would get about 65mcg Iodine. Probabyl a little less with T3 as it only has 3 iodine atoms per hormone compared to 4 withT4. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
