Re: Re: Iodine -- was Thanks and question re iodine

[Guest guest]

I

have been using a liquid iodine supplement, low-dose (1 drop per week) for

about 4 months. I do think it is helping, as my low body temperature has

gone up a few tenths of a decimal (average from was 97.1, now 97.4; but still averaging

96.3 for basal body temp.) and my digestive motility seems slightly improved. I

plan on increasing to 1 drop of liquid iodine twice a week next month. I

always have to go slow with supplements…

I’ve

been using iodized salt and sea salt for years, of course, but the low-dose

liquid iodine does seem to be more effective for my body. I know I have

hypothyroid issues (part of having PCOS) although the standard thyroid tests I’ve

been given don’t indicate any abnormalities. I think my body is

producing enough thyroid, just not utilizing it effectively (typical for my

body!). I am hoping the extra iodine will help.

Iodine

is one of the minerals you want only in low doses, small amounts. The recommended

dose for the liquid iodine is 1 drop. I would be careful with taking an

iodine supplement; might be a good idea to check in with your doctor about

it.
