RE: Re: Elaine question about collagen and gelatin

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

The increased joint pain almost sounds like you could be hypo. do you have

any other hypo symptoms? The KI is very effective at lowering thyroid hormone

levels, but I'd expect in another few days, you'll be noticing hyper

symptoms. If not, it would be a good time to have your thyroid hormone levels

and a TSI level to see if you're in remission.

I'm not sure if gelatin contains iodine, but if so it should be listed on the

package. I'm thinking it's ok, but I can't recall hearing it helped arthritis

pain. Have you ever tried glucosamine or chrondoitin supplements? Hope your

joint pain improves soon. Take care, Elaine

Hi Elaine:

I don't think I'm hypo yet. I started my hyper symptoms tonight for just a

bit after I emailed you earlier on the list. Drat! :-( Well, at least I

had a good few days before they started. I have an appointment this Monday

for a blood draw. I am sure my levels will be higher than normal and my ND

will tell me of this. I have an option of getting the Potassium Iodide in

the tablet form from a health food store which the receptionist from the

ND's office tracked down to find one for me. I would prefer to wait for the

liquid dropper though.

I have an old can of Knox's NutraJoint gelatine dietary supplement. It

contains hydrolyzed gelatine from collagen (10 grams), calcium carbonate

(300 mg). ascorbi acid vitamin C (60 mg). There's also listed on the

supplement facts: protein (9 grams) and sodium (40 mg). I'm not sure what

hydrolyzed means?

Are glucosamine and or chrondoitin used for people with rheumatoid

arthritis? I thought these were for those who have osteoarthritis?

Let me know and thanks again,

Hi ,

Glucosamine and chrondoitin are primarily used for osteoarthritis but people

with RA can experience improvement especially with glucosamine.

The gelatin sounds find. Hydrolyzed refers to the process of extracting the

proteins, combining them and forming them into a solid product.

Hope you can get you SSKI drops soon. I think I'd try the tablets to ward off

the chance of developing severe hyperT or thyroid storm. Abruptly withdrawing

iodine, like abruptly withdrawing ATDs, can lead to thyroid storm. Take care,

Thanks again Elaine. I didn't realized that abruptly stopping potassium

iodide can lead into thyroid storm. I'm heading out to the health food

store ASAP. I will check out the Glucosamine there too.

Hi ,

Glad you're going to check into the KI tablets. Keep an eye on your heart

rate until you're back on the SSKI. SSKI in high doses slows down both

thyroid hormone production and its release from the gland. Without it, your

thyroid will go back to producing excess thyroid hormone and your levels will

rise. Take care, elaine
