Guest guest Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Iodine is needed by many other parts of the body other than thyroid. So regardless of thyroid status, you can still have other problems caused by iodine deficiency. some examples: Lack of iodine in the sweat glands manifests as *dry skin* with a *decreased ability to sweat*. Iodine is concentrated in the lacrymal glands of the eye, and a lack of iodine can cause *dry eyes*. Iodine is concentrated in the parotid and submandibular glands of the mouth, and iodine deficiency here can result in *dry mouth*. Iodine can also be concentrated in the stomach tissue, and the lack of iodine in the stomach manifests as *achlorhydria* (lack of digestive acid production). Iodine is used by the stomach cells, also known as parietal cells, to concentrate chloride which is necessary to produce hydrochloric acid (digestive acid). With the prolonged presence of achlorhydria, there is a much higher incidence of *stomach cancer*. Iodine can be concentrated in the ovaries, and Russian studies done some years ago showed a relationship between iodine deficiency and the presence of *cysts in the ovaries*. The greater the iodine deficiency, the more ovarian cysts a woman produces. In its extreme form, this condition is known as polycystic ovarian disease.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I was told by a holistic doctor a year or so ago to take some kelp daily for ms. I have been doing that with loads of other BBD supplements and I do sweat. Less than I used to _ which is good in one way! However because of my age, I do sweat or flush around the face from time to time. In my local MS Therapy Centre, the therapists have always said that an inablity to sweat and therefore regulate tempature is a common MS feature.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Go to www.stopthethyroidmadness.com and she'll tell you what tests to take. If your doctor won't do them, mine would'nt, and if you have hypothyroid symptoms and want to try natural hormones, I'll tell you where I get Armour without a prescription http://www.antiaging-systems.com/PRG-226/thyroid-armour-nature-westroid.htm I also know where to get Lugal's iodine (jcrow.com). iherb.com has several glandulars, some I've tried with no change (to strengthen my thymus and I've only taken it for a week) and others I ordered to use when I run out of Armour. They all have positive feedback and they cost much less than Armour. I take Modifilan for iodine and chelation sometimes. > > thanks all for your great responses! i knew about the iodine, and have been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 aviva rosenthal Have you been checked for Hashimoto's ? Good advice , if your doctor wont help, just order your own tests, do your own research and order your own tests. That is what I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
