Re: Can 4mg idodine keep you from clearing?

[Guest guest]

Yes, because iodine promotes t4, which keeps turning into rt3 if you have a rt3

problem. So you should not take iodine, especially a dose that large. The RDA is

only 150 mcg, meaning that's all most people need to make normal amounts of t4

in the first place. And that is pretty accurate as lots of research has been

done worldwide by governments because true iodine deficiency causes major

problems like retardation in babies. So the amount needed is well known. Most

people in the U.S. do not have thyroid issues due to low iodine, in fact,

probably the opposite -- high iodine.

still no clearance-if anything, I am a little hypo right now.
