I've been doing some reading on supporting low thyroid naturally and nearly everything I've read suggests the use of iodine.To: mb12 valtrex Sent: Thu, February 3, 2011 4:21:33 PMSubject: Re: We saw the dastardly

Won't iodine crash the thyroid? We are already on armour thyroid.

Cheryl,

Would you recommend doing some kind of iodine deficiency test before

supplementing with it?

thanks

Thanks Cheryl, I'd never heard of using iodine before. How do you use the Lugols and where do I find it? I don't ever recall seeing it in a health food store. I just did a quick google on it and I get the impression that it needs to be compounded. Do I need an rx to get Lugols solution?

Having worms is just another sign of Iodine Deficiency.

Lugols solution in water - 1 to 2 drops per day of 2% - will kill the worms.

Iodine kills bacteria, virus, parasites, helps the liver remove metals and will clear up leaky gut, too.

Iodine is needed for proper thyroid function. However, for some kids, it has

actually increased TSH and decreased T3 levels.

Some quick questions about a thyroid problem. I'm just quickly looking around and I've suspected it before but I suspect again that my dd has a thyroid issue. Do these things sound like thyroid issues to you?

She gets lethargic sometimes. She seems to have a constant swollen looking face. She's not a heavy girl but her face is very round and everything always looks just that much slightly swollen.She craves salt all the time. I have to hold her down when she goes anywhere where there's road salt this time of year as she always wants to pick pieces of road salt up and eat it (YUCK!).

Her hair grows really really slowly. It seems to never grow. I never have to cut the hair at the back of her head, just her bangs. Are these symptoms of thyroid issues? I've been thinking about this one for a long time.

Here's a pic of her so you can kind of see her face. It always looks swollen-ish to me. I find that kids her age usually have a more defined face. I don't think it looks " bad " but is an indicator of an issue.

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4035/4440430042_57c55346df.jpgDoes her face not look swollen or is it just me? And her hair pretty much always stays at this length. I have to cut her bangs every 2 to 3 months but the length of her hair always stays at this length for the back and never seems to get any longer than this length.

Studies indicate that it is not valid. Results indicate that 88% of the iodine

applied to the skin actually evaporates. This is a good site that explains this

Alberta, it's odd that you should mention that because I think the same about my little guy's face always looking a little swollen. I suspect histamine issues with him (because of his reactions to shots and bug bites and such) and I've been considering the possiblity that it might be related to a food allergy. I've also been supplementing him for thyroid support because I suspect he's low (very common on both sides of the family). Besides you, I've never heard any other person make that observation w/ their kid. Have you always thought this about her? I don't remember starting to observe this until about 8 months ago or so....he's 5.

I posted about adrenal issues and salt cravings earlier today. An easy way to

check thyroid and adrenals is to take temperatures.

You can determine if you need more adrenal support by following

temperature graph.

http://www.drrind.com/therapies/metabolic-temperature-graph

You simply have to take your temp 3-4 times a day and make a chart.

If your temp is fluctuating you need more adrenal support. If it is fluctuating

but overall low, you need more adrenal support and thyroid support.

If it is fluctuating but averaging 98.6, you just need adrenal support.

If it is steady but low, you need more thyroid and adrenals are likely fine.

The thyroid may swell trying to capture the iodine but it will not crash it. Or,

I guess it could crash if you gave ALOT (the bottle?) of iodine at one time, but

i would be more inclined to think that the body couldnt handle that much

pathogen die off and might be contrued as a thyroid crash. 1 to 2 drops of

iodine isnt going to crash it or even the amounts of the Iodine Protocol. There

are people that take 100-200mg per day without crashing their thyroids. It all

depends on how much you give and if you give more than a drop or 2 for a small

child the companion supplements are a must. Add after about 12.5 mg for an

adult.

Some people are able to stop taking armour once their Iodine levels are up. Some

have to stay on armour for a long time until the thyroid heals. The thing with

giving armour is that your thyroid adjusts itself to make less hormone or doesnt

work at optimum levels because it has the help of the armour. A necessary evil

sometimes,to let the thyroid rest or protect the rest of the bodily functions,

but trying to not be dependent on an animal product that your body can

manufacture better itself with proper iodine levels is more ideal.
