Thyroid dysfunction/function auto immune disease, leaky gut etc......

[Guest guest]

In the past we have been talking about the above for some time I found this

podcast to be great and a must listen too. It is 60 min.'s long.

LDN = Low Dose Naltrexone

At this link there is a podcast... during which at around 13:10 mark - he

speaks of thyroid function, goes onto to talk about LDN and its benefits in

regards to thyroid dysfunction/function, and IF you are really keen.... after

that he talks about auto immune disease, leaky gut etc......

He also makes a quick mention that statins can damage your thyroid

function......

Here is a cut and paste of what Dr. Brownsterin says Autoimmune thyroid

disorders and Iodine.

http://iodine4health.com/ortho/brownstein_ortho.htm

================================================== ==============

Brownstein, D

" The best results with iodine, as with all nutritional supplements, can be

achieved as part of a comprehensive holistic program. As I describe in my book,

Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It 2nd Edition, adding

magnesium and vitamin C will enhance the effects of iodine. This is particularly

true for individuals experiencing a number of factors related to iodine. This

article will cover four major factors sometimes associated with iodine

supplementation and how vitamin C and magnesium can support individuals with

these concerns:

1. Allergy

2. Autoimmune thyroid disorders

3. Detoxification Reactions

4. Iodism

" Some physicians feel that iodine supplementation causes autoimmune thyroid

disorders. They also claim that those with autoimmune thyroid disorders should

not take iodine as it will exacerbate their condition. Before conventional

medicine began using radioactive iodine to treat autoimmune thyroid disorders,

large doses of iodine was the treatment of choice in treating autoimmune thyroid

disorders. There are numerous reports in the literature, some dating back well

over 100 years, showing the benefits of using iodine in excess of the RDA to

treat autoimmune thyroid illnesses. If iodine was the cause of autoimmune

thyroid illnesses, these illnesses should have been decreasing over the last 30

years. The opposite has occurred. In the United States, iodine levels have

fallen approximately 50 percent over the last 30 years while, at the same time,

autoimmune thyroid disorders have been rapidly increasing. My clinical

experience has shown that in an iodine deficient state, higher doses of iodine,

as part of a holistic treatment program, are an effective and safe way to treat

autoimmune thyroid illness without appreciable side effects. "

" Iodine can cause a detoxification reaction in the body by facilitating the

body's release of the toxic halides fluoride and bromide. If the body's

detoxification pathways are overloaded when the toxic halides are being

released, a detoxification reaction can be triggered. A detoxification reaction

can take the form of fatigue, muscle aches, fever, diarrhea, and brain fog, skin

rashes, etc. "

" If one is found to be iodine deficient, it is best to correct other nutrient

imbalances before instituting iodine supplementation. Proper dosing of

magnesium, Vitamin C and minerals will maximize the response to iodine. Before

beginning any nutritional program, the best results can be achieved when working

with a health care practitioner skilled in the use of natural agents. "
