At the risk of sounding ignorant, is SSKI - potassium iodide?

Hi Lisa, I just thought I'd mention again that Mercola recommends iodine
supplementation for thyroid but is definitely against using Lugols.  He
actually stated that it could make thyroid problems worse.  He says SSKI is
the one to use.  dee

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).
