Re: Iodine and adrena fatigue

[Guest guest]

Iodine can make AF worse because T3 is iodine and tyrosine (amino acid). By

increasing the iodine you might be stressing your adrenals and either need

to lower your dose of iodine significantly or up the HC. I think I would

stick with a lower dose of iodine or none at all and only raise HC slightly

if needed. Especially if you are on Armour, which contains iodine in the T3

so you are getting more iodine than you know. Did your doctor tell you that

you are getting iodine from the Armour? See, taking Armour you might not

have been getting the T3 into the cells until you got on HC and you have

only been on HC two months, which isn't nearly long enough for most people

to be steady. Also, if your iodine pills are Iodoral, they contain 12,500

mcgs per tablet. Normally, iodine supplementation is in the hundreds of mcgs

so that is a huge amount in Iodoral. You also need selenium not only for the

thyroid but to protect your cells when mercury poisoned.

Even though your temps were low, were they steady? Did you graph them three

times a day and average, then compare day to day? That will give you more

information on your current adrenal state.

Chelation is good but VERY hard on the adrenals and thyroid. What protocol

do you use? I hope you are using something like Cutler's and not EDTA (which

doesn't chelate mercury, only lead). You very likely may need to up your

adrenal support while chelating too. A lot of us here have high mercury (and

lead, they go hand and hand often) so you aren't alone there either.

Hi

I have been lurking and learning a lot from all of you.

I am hypothyroid w/hashi's switched to Armour about a year ago after

30 yrs on synthyroid. I still don't think my thyroid is corrected. I

am on 4 gr of Armour. I was diagnosed AF about 6 months ago and after

trying licorice, sea salt, preg. and vits and minerals went on HC

about 2 months ago...It really helped. I am less tired, have been

getting some things done... not myself yet though.

The fluttering eye has let up,

and I am not as foggy, but I am so tired and today I am dizzy.... My

question is, does anyone know what is going on with me??? Does

iodine make AF symptoms worse??? I really feel like I have taken a

big step backwards and it is very discouraging. My Dr says I need

the iodine, but I'm not sure my body can tolerate it.

Also, I just started to chelate. I have high levels of lead and

mercury among other things... maybe this has something to do with my

issues. Thanks for reading all the way through my long post.

Thanks for your reply. My Dr did not tell me that Armour has iodine

in it... how much, do you know?? I did wonder if the Iodorol was

making my AF worse. I do feel a little better today, even went to

the snow fest for a short time.. and did my laundry!! I do take

selenium, 3000 vit C, B complex and B5. My temps were not steady...

they varied by more than 1 degree from day to day... and varied a lot

throughout each day... maybe from 98.8 to 97.2!!! With the iodorol

they were higher in the am though. I can't take my temps every day

due to my job, but do check them on most days off.

I don't know what the chelating agent is... it is an injection...if

she said, I was so foggy I don't remember??? Last week was the first

injection, it was a small dose to see how I do. I am taking 30 mg HC

now, do you think I should stress dose that on my chelating days???

If so , how much???

Thank you
