question for those who have tried iodine

[Guest guest]

hi everyone

I am currently going down on cytomel, now at 55 mcg from 85, because my heart

rate was high. I am also going down on HC. I am now at 27 mg. I wanted to try

some iodine to see if I could get a little T4 back in my system again. I tried a

couple of drops of atomidine in water, and felt terrible all morning, extremely

tired, and very swollen facially.

So, my question is, am I not responding to the iodine because it is making T4,

and therefor, making RT3 again? Or is the iodine doing something else to my

thyroid system that is making me feel more hypo? Also, can my body get used to

iodine and T4 after a little while? Does the body ever adjust to iodine?

Has anyone had any luck with this?

Thanks

Liz

you asked:

" so, my question is, am I not responding to the

iodine because it is making T4, and therefor, making

RT3 again? Or is the iodine doing something else to

my thyroid system that is making me feel more hypo?

'm guessing:

i think you are not supposed to take iodine when you

are doing the T3 protocol???

Hi

Thanks for the reply. I think the reason for not doing iodine while on T3 only

is to stop any T4 from being produced. At this point my RT3 is gone and I would

like a little bit of T4 to be produced, so I was hoping the iodine might be okay

for that. However, I do have hashimotos thyroiditis, so I think maybe the iodine

is making my have a hypo attack because of that. I don't know if it is because I

took too much, though, or if there is a way my body could adjust to it.

I also wonder if I took T4 in the form of naturethroid, would I have the same

reaction? Or is iodine its own weird thing?

Thanks

iodine can be complicated. It can set off detox reactions, influence hormones,

drop iron levels and more - have a look at www.iodine4health.com and the group

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

I personally really like Iodine, but as part of a protocol not as something

random to try and push the thyroid into working. I don't think it would mix well

with the RT3 protocol. It might be better to find a bit of stability doing one

protocol rather than trying to mix and match.

Stan I would love to see these answers too but NOT on this group. Ther

is an iodie group that can help wiht iodine questions MUCH better than

we can here and we NEED to stay ON tiopic as ther eare just too many

posts to wander. I still firmly believe if you are taking enough thyroid

you are gettign enough iodine in that thyroid. NO ONE has been able to

answer that for me oincluding the " iodine experts " I have asked. So I

will continue to believe this until I learn differntly.
