Fw: [iodine] Is this detox or bad stimulation? - Susie

[Guest guest]

hashis/graves and iodine

Hi Susie,

I was diagnosed w/Graves about 10 yrs. ago. Instead of going the RAI route, I

" made " my doc put me on the PTU. (I think those are the correct initials) it was

a prescription that slows the thyroid down. Anyway, after being on that for 18

months .. I weaned myself off. After about a year and a half , I became hypO.

(Hashi's now.)

When I finally went to see Dr. Brownstein, I still had the goiter/nodules and my

antibodies were still quite high. Since being on 50mg Iodoral daily (and the

rest of Dr. B's supplement protocol) my antibodies are down and the goiter is

not longer there and nodules are negligible.

I am wondering if the kelp you are trying may be too toxic for you. When you

have the issues, as we do, they can be made worse with things like kelp. There

are those that believe that most kelp is not pure enough to consume. I have

never tried it, don't plan to.

Just my thoughts.

Best,

Glo

Subject: [iodine] Is this detox or bad stimulation?

Hi all,

I am peeking back in in hopes that someone here can answer my question:

I have had hyperthyroidism off and on all of my 42 years. I have read

tons of info about not taking anything with iodine when your are hyper

cuz iodine can further stimulate an already over stimulated thyroid.

Then I read that hypert can be treated WITH iodine. I am so confussed

as to who to believe.

Now off and on I have tried to take Dr Shultz's Super Food (I took

successfully before) and each time I try within one or two days the

nodule on my thyroid feels sooo sick it makes me want to throw up. My

goiter on the other side doesn't feel so sick though. So my question

is could this sick feeling be detox or is it a warning to stop taking

the Superfood (which contains Kelp therefore iodine)because of over

stimulation?

I realize that most (or all) thyroid patients here have hypot, I guess

I am just hoping that someone here has heard or read something. I have

tried the hypert and graves loops and it seems that most of what I

find are those that go the conventional meds route.

Thanks for any help!!

Susie ~
