I can't answer your question, but the people who can are on the Yahoo Iodine 
group at:

If you are not already a member of that group, you should join and ask your 
question there.

  Subject: CS>Question on thyroid (autoimmunity)


  Hi All,

   

  I just received word from my endocrinologist this morning that I have 
antibodies in my blood that's attacking my thyroid. He stated: autoimmune 
thyroid disease. At this point in time we're not sure whether I have Graves 
disease or Hashimoto's because my numbers (T3, T4 etc.) have been up and down 
within the last several months (and several blood tests). We're waiting for 6-7 
weeks to go by to test again with my not taking any supplements (including 
Lugol's and kelp which he believes may be the culprit as far as going back and 
forth).

   

  Needless to say, I'm concerned as the last thing I'll do is have my thyroid 
removed - but he also mentioned that my body just might do it on its own 
anyway. So, has anybody had any experience in this at all?

   

  Currently I'm on an MMS1 protocol of 15 drops - 2x a day (I felt that my body 
needed cleansing as I'm quite sure I've had rampant Candida). I also have been 
taking some oregano oil and EIS for a sore throat which is just about gone now. 
I do take EIS everyday ( an ounce or two "just because"). Has anybody had any 
positive results with using MMS1 and "fixing" their thyroid autoimmunity 
problem?!!??!?! Should I add MMS2??!?!?!

   

  Please, I'd like very much if anybody can tell me if there's a way that I can 
get my thyroid to function properly and get rid of these antibodies. The Dr. 
said that IF it were to happen it would take months (and the tests are 
extremely expensive and insurance will cover the 1st one but may raise 
questions down the road) to see any difference. I'm a member of the Iodine 
group and also the Stop the Thyroid Madness which really focuses on hypothyroid 
(and at this point I'm hyperthyroid).

   

  ANY feedback would be greatly appreciated as I'm quite concerned!

   

  Thank you!
