Re: Iodine supplementation

[Guest guest]

I know someone personally who went on full dosing of Iodoral for a goiter (4 per

day) last year after doing poorly on the urine challenge test. She has

gradually lost 30 some pounds since she started taking it and is feeling great.

My understanding is that any excess iodine/iodide the body doesn't need will

pass out in urine. I'm lead to wonder why testing would first be necessary when

symptoms are so obvious...but I'm not a practitioner.

Seems like a waste of $110 to me, personally. You can by 6 months of

iodine with that amount of money. If her symptoms were'nt so obvious

I think we'd do the test otherwise she already started on 13.5

potassium iodide.
