So what do you suggest to supplement iodine? Kelp is the only thing I keep finding when looking up sources to buy.To: mb12 valtrex Sent: Sun, February 6, 2011 12:13:12 PMSubject: Re:

our kids suffering with autism.

Thank you , I am glad you liked it.

Synthroid is bad stuff. I almost have to say shame on that Dan doc for not rxing natural Desiccated thyroid. Granted most docs think patients are havin some sort of placebo effect when they say they feel better on natural than synthetic. Sorta like when docs say autism cant be helped with biomed. There is alot of info from people on the iodine list about the importance of natural thyroid.

Kelp is another bad thing. There just isnt the right kind of iodine to iodide ratio that is shown to be needed. And most believe processed kelp to be full of metals/or toxins. So not usually recommended.

I tend to think its the iodine deficiency that causes the problem with amalgams, both theories (your sis and I) are probably correct. I also believe putting mercury even in healthy peoples teeth is insane!

There is a thread on the mother list that is long and extensive but with lots of great information and links.

Curezone also has an iodine thread. Lots of info.

This had given me new insight, but I didn't realize how much, until I read your post. This is GREAT info, and if you have sources of information that I can read, I would appreciate the insight and direction.

She believes that his mercury fillings get in the way for his thyroid to work properly...we are getting them removed. (They will be gone by Feb. 21! Yeah!) -- but this adds another piece to the puzzle...one that I had looked at and dumped because I didn't understand the complexity.
