Nenah, What you said was very interesting about iodine causing the release of mercury, etc. I wonder if it isn't one of the reasons many with thyroid issues benifit from supplementing with Selenium, since Selenium has a way of removing mercury and other heavy metals from the system? I believe Iodine also has the ablility to destroy virus, bacteria, and fungus. The symptoms you describe would indicate die-off.
I have the other problem. If I get too much iodine I get shakey and a little hyper. I have been working on building up the Adrenals which appear insufficient. I believe you can't handle iodine very well with weakened Adrenals. At least that seems to be my experience. I had most of my thyroid removed. Then I was on Synthyroid for about 25 years. My thyroid must have atrophied from that. I am on Armour now and some other supplements. Thanks for the comment. Paula > > Well put, Wayne.
