Re: CS>thyroid issues

Hi Dan, Actually, there are over 20,000 case studies that are discussed at the iodine4health.com site, which are in direct contradiction to what you are saying about Lugol's.  Iodoral is Lugol's in pill form and a lot easier to take. Also the history of Lugol's use for many, many problems goes back a very long time. Take a look at the iodine site, you will find it interesting.  These folks are doing more research on the use of what amounts to Lugol's being used in humans, than perhaps any other supplement. Regards, Craig Dan Nave wrote: What Mercola acutally wrote was this: Getting Your Iodine Levels Up If you are iodine deficient, I recommend adding sea vegetables to your diet. The best source of organically bound iodine that I know of is non-commercially harvested seaweeds. The dose is about 5 grams a day or about one ounce per week, so a pound would last about two months. It is typically better to obtain a nutrient from a natural food whenever possible than from a supplement, so use supplements only as a last resort. Some patients also report that they respond better to food-based forms of iodine -- like seaweeds -- than the supplement forms. However, if you are going to use a supplement I would strongly advise using supersaturated iodine (SSKI) which is available as an inexpensive prescription. Typically 1-3 drops a day are all that are required. Please avoid using Lugol’s solution or iodine, as that will actually worsen your thyroid condition. Keeping your iodine levels optimal is particularly important if you are a women that is contemplating pregnancy, or are already pregnant Make sure you are taking seaweed or a prenatal vitamin with the right amount and form of iodide, not iodine, to help protect your baby.
