Well if I could have gotten my first message off correctly, I would have asked if anyone has had any luck treating graves with iodine. I would love to hear from you. I've read Dr Brownstein's book on iodine and began taking the suggested supplements about a month ago.Not quite sure all that Armour does, but I have hyperthyroid, isn't Armour for hypo?Anyone chime in!

it sounds like you are in desperate need of HC/cortef (adrenal meds) and probly thyroid meds like Armour. cutting out your thyroid gland won't solve those problems.

I am sorry you are feeling so desperate. I have been there too.

Hello -This is my first post. I have been taking Lugols for 16 months, 13 drops a day. I get a big bottle 5% from community pharmacy with an rx. It is not working. As I am taking tons of iodine the loading test will not work. I've been in the hospital with a-fib and a rate of 200. I feel terrible and am not much of a mother or wife these days. I also have terrible chest pain due to an enlarged thymus, another complication of graves. Dr Hobbins was following me and he gave up, now I see an Endo at dean. My condition is serious. I take beta blockers, just to survive.I just finished Dr Brownstein's book I don't know what to do but cut it out!!!!!

We used L-caratine and some herbs our doctor had mixed together for my son to take. We are stable now with numbers and he is doing well.

I wonder if your son would benefit from a gluten free diet? Celiac, diabetes, and thyroid are on one gene and if he has this gene he will have all three items.

Also something that I think worked wonders here is detoxing my son of the crap he was full of. I can't tell you how many articles I read that said PBDE's are the cause for hyperthyroid in kids. We got my son organic pillow and a few organic bedding items and detoxed him. His lead and copper and a few other things are back down to normal after one year. But now we found the mercury this time around. So we need to get rid of that next.

My son just turned 5 when we found graves. He is almost 6 and he is stable with numbers. Something we are checking every two months right now.

Yes - traditional medicine used Lugol's formula to treat Graves. You can also use lithium and L-Carnitine to slow down the thyroid and block hormone creation.

I just joined, my son has Graves, He has had it for 3yrs now, and is on thyroid blockers, he also has high anitbodies to his thyroid which is what is causing this, can iodoral help him? he also has Type I Diabetes with antibodies to his pancreas. Thanks Blessings Conrad

Thanks for pointing to the gluten issue too Marcie! I forgot that connection. A great book to read is Dangerous Grains. It does address autoimmune issues.

I am very aware of the Type I, Graves, Celiac connection, he has been tested and

no antibodies to Gluten so he does not have celiac, we belong to Weston price,

and so do eat an oraganic diet, had not thought about organic bedding, but will

do that, right now we are healing his gut as he also has autism, next will be

the detox of heavy metals. Thanks for your input. Blessings Conrad

are you following a gluten free / casein free diet? They are very beneficial (eliminating) for autism. What method are you using to heal his gut. I saw Dr. McBride at the WAP conf last Nov in San Francisco. I am going to be working on my son this summer. He has tested positive to egg and dairy allergies. We removed gluten in November even with a negative test result for issues. It helped him even without testing positive.

My son does not have autism. He just has gut issues that I believe were induced by vaccines and antibiotics. He did a lot better when we put him on armour thyroid and iodoral then a little better when we took away gluten. But there are still some lingering brain fog issues that we believe are related to the food allergies. We are using digestive enzymes. I'll check it out.

He could still have Celiac, celiac lies low and deep and when something big happens. Like my son had seizures. Three in three months, when they finally stopped the Celiac came shining through. It was two years of pure hell before we finally got some answers. Our doctors answer was to toss adhd drugs at the problem. It got to the point my son would just eat bread, drinks lots of milk and spin in circles or arm flap all day long. Today he is a bright boy, about ready to go to private school, he is in karate going for a black belt, he is growing and getting taller daily.

So some one could have Celiac and it not come out until age 40 or 90. The one thing I hate about Celiac is the testing they have for it. Did you know 1 in 133 people have Celiac disease? 97% of the people that have it don't know they have it. They really need better testing.

After 20 months on the diet and digging for answers with doctors we just now got the autism label. The doctor took one look at all the blood work and said your son has autism, he has every marker for it. I'm thinking tell me something I don't know? My son has Graves disease, and diabetes runs in the family on both sides, so you wonder when or if that will hit him next. We are awaiting those genetics testing results. But graves disease is stable now.

We did detoxing naturally. And after a year we find out it has worked great and we now have found the mercury. i honestly thought we would not find mercury, because I wanted to greatly believe there is no way mercury was in the shots I allowed them to give my son. But I was wrong and it saddens me to know I let the doctors and nurses shoot my son full of crap he should not have had, because a few times he was sick. It's not just outside sick, but inside sick as well. These kids are getting way too many way to young.

This isn't really on the topic of iodine ...

but ... there isn't really any good evidence that enzymes work for

autism or celiac. They might help the symptoms: bentonite

gets rid of most of my symptoms rather nicely. But I don't think

that getting rid of the symptoms really is a cure.

My family is highly Aspergerish with multiple learning disorders.

The learning disorders go away with a good diet. Some of the

other traits ... abstract reasoning and general creativity ... don't.

But it's not clear at this point what really causes the " brain

malfunctions " . I do think iodine is part of it, which is one reason

I hang out here. It makes a big difference in how I think.

So do B vitamins and the GFCF diet. But the " brain thing "

appears to be different from the " gut thing " , and I don't think

anyone has it down yet. If enzymes are working for you ...

everyone is good now? ... then great. If not, think beyond

the enzymes.

You should think about looking into Dr. Mark Geier's theory on Autism. We went to hear him talk and was blown away. So we made an appointment and went up there, we did all the testing (still waiting for half of it) and so far my son won't be good for his theory. But to go to one doctor and get all that testing I think is amazing. He does appointments from a handful of centers around the country he is land and I am in WA State and we did ours on the computer.

If you google Dr. Mark Geier there are videos out on his talk he goes around the county doing. I think it's great info and I had to go with gut on rather to go forward with the drugs and I decided no. But I have heard from many on the good and the bad of this. You can always e-mail if you have questions. But just the speech alone is like WOW, that makes so much sense.

www.asdcenters.com

There is also thoughtful house if it's gut related. www.thoughtfulhouse.org They have a group. So does the above one but you have to be invited. And I was not invited yet?

Ok now back to Iodine....

So I am thinking I might have Graves disease, my endo drew blood for the test. My sister had it a few years ago and my grandma has thyroid issues. I have been reading online a lot and graves seems to be hopefully what I have. It can cause adrenal insuffiency, which could cause my low aldo 1.6, and it can cause high blood pressure as well. Another thing hyperthyroidism can cause is preterm labor and interuterine growth restriction, which is what my daughter had, she was born 3 months early because she had stopped growing.

Keep us posted. It is very unlikely Graves is your problem. Google Grave's Disease images and see if anyone in your family or you look like that. Frequently a driver's license Dx. I look at the DL and make the DX. I think one can put pictures on our group and perhaps this will be useful.

I am not aware that Graves is accociated with low aldo. Recommend he also recheck renin and aldo and look for causes of both low renin and low aldo.

I've had graves and had my thyroid removed three years ago. If I had it to do

again I would have looked for more answers but I was led to believe my situation

was dire. My thyroid was twice the size it should have been and making

swallowing difficult and my BP was 180/120. Since the surgery, my health has

gone downhill fast. I had parathyroid troubles from the surgery, then PA, now

I'm waiting on a phone call from the Endo because I have elevated protein in my

blood. He sent me Tuesday for a protein electorphoresis blood test and thinks I

have Lupus! There has to be some link between all these!

Hmm. The standard Rx for Graves is to try drugs first then radioactive Iodine unless you want to have more children.When I was an Endocrine fellow at Ann Arbor I sent 2 young women to the one of the most experienced thyroid surgeons in the world,One had parathyroid problems after and the other had a paralyzed vocal cord. Have not sent anyone else for surgery since but don't do thyroid anymore.On Oct 30, 2009, at 12:18 PM, mmcandmcc wrote: I've had graves and had my thyroid removed three years ago.

I do want more children, and if I do have Graves it would make sense, since my

daughter had Iugr in the womb and I had to be induced to have her. I just hate

waiting on test results, I am going nuts.

My sister had graves and did the medication for a year and her levels went back

to normal.

I did want more children and had a baby the year after the surgery. It was sold

to me as such a simple fix, one night hospital stay, a tiny thyroid pill every

day after. It turned out to be a week in the hospital and IV magnesium with

2000 mg of calcium every 2 hrs for about 6 mos. Now, even when my thyroid

levels are good, I'm fat and tired.
