The patch test while not totally scientific can give you an idea of your iodine

levels. Just paint some on somewhere it wont rub off and see how long it lasts.

When i started mine was gone fast. Very fast. Now it stays there for about 10

hours. 24 is the goal.

There is an iodine test that many use if you are into tests and knowing numbers.

The following list is from the Iodine Group

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/iodine/files/

a compilation of resources for obtaining the Iodine loading test.

Hakala Research

885 Parfet Street Unit E

Lakewood, CO 80215

Call and ask for an iodine loading kit. It is $70 to do this test. It does not

include return shipping.

================================================================================\

========

FFP Labs

Dr. Jorg Flechas MD

80 Doctors Drive Ste 3

ville, NC 28792

(1-)

The cost of this test is $80. If it is not ordered by a physician you must tell

them you are ordering it on your own and they will assign you to a nurse

practitioner. When you get the results of this test you can receive a free

consultation with Dr. Flechas. You may also obtain a urine spot test for an

additional $30 for a total of $110 for both test.

Spot / Loading / Bromide test can be obtained for $230

===============================================================================

Vitamin Research Products

http://www.vrp.com/ProductPage.aspx?ProdID=9137

$100 for both the spot and loading test. Kit requires an ordering physician.

I have never tested my levels, nor my sons. Just started taking it and seeing

the magic!

Vitamin stores might have Lugols.I only buy online and never been to a health

food store so I dont know for sure.

Swanson Vitamins is where i get mine, the cheapest i have found.

http://www.swansonvitamins.com/LGS001/ItemDetail

I take approx 50mg a day. I use 1 to 2 drops (3mg each drop) internally and the

rest i get transdermally. For my son he gets 25mg daily. Same configuration.

Transdermal application results in only a little less than 1mg absorbtion, so i

use alot. Considering making it myself, the iodine group has a recipe in the

last few days that makes it sound easy!

Iodine is needed by far more than the thyroid. Every cell of the body uses

iodine in some respect.

In cases that it increased TSH or decreased T3 levels i would be interested in

knowing the dosage and if the companion supplements were given.

Mag, Vit C, Se, Niacin, B2, Natural Salt are the supplements of the protocol. If

these things werent given in companion to a high dosage of iodine those effects

might be seen.

It's hard to guess why unless you know what else was being given or not given

and dosage.

There are many kids on iodine at the Iodine group and have not read about this

phenomenon.

That 88% evaporation is over a 3 day period.

Here is a link that talks about absorbtion.

http://www.iodine4health.com/special/physiology/absorption/absorption.htm

I personally have misgivings with some of that article. The japanese study it

cites didnt consider the lack of Se, which later studies did.Comparing the same

Japanses people in different areas and measuring Se levels with findings of low

Se combined with High Iodine to be the actual culprit.

The greece study is intersting, I wonder what the overall health of the

children with bigger thyroids compared to the normal dietary intake group might

be. Or their mag and se levels.

I think most adverse reactions are actually dieoff of pathogens and done too

quickly or without the right companion supplements will cause reactions.

Overall its a good article tho, explaining alot of the questions most have about

Iodine.

The moon face and hair loss or slow growth is very typical of Iodine deficiency,

thyroid issues.. Being tired all the time.

Very good link:

http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/

The salt is an adrenal issue but probably also thyroid related as they are

symbiotic in their functions. I can remember as a child licking salt, craving

salt. Getting very angry when i wasnt allowed to have it. As an adult i

licked,ate tons of salt all the time. Then I found out I was iodine deficient

and adrenal fatiqued. I craved it all the time. I dont crave it anymore but i

still eat alot of it!

I would get her some good Himylayan pink salt or Celtic natural salt and let her

have as much as she wants up to 1 tsp. With plenty of water. If you still use

the salt in the blue box throw it away.

Yes, I think you're on to something there, Alberta. Your little girl is adorable! I can see she's petite but her face is very full. This is an informative thread for me-- my face is very round also and my hair barely grows. I didn't know these were symptoms of iodine deficiency, although my son and I are both being treated for very low iodine. 

 

The moon face and hair loss or slow growth is very typical of Iodine deficiency, thyroid issues.. Being tired all the time.
