Would you mind sharing the address of the iodine list. I was taking
selenium and I was under the care of 2 alternative doctors and I still ended
up with a problem. At this point I am taking time release T3 for Wilson's
body temp syndrome and it is the first thing that has helped. They think
the problem might be in the conversion from one form to the other. All of
the other things, I do.
Thanks.

If you don't take enough selenium with the Iodine it WILL cause you grief
and CAN damage the thyroid. I've upped my dose to 50 mg per day of 2%
Lugol's, I started with 5 mg and worked my way up slowly, and I take 400 -
600 mg of the selenomethionine form of Selenium daily. When I don't take
the Iodine I feel like crap. My thyroid felt swollen on one side and I had
a small nodule on my thyroid which is slowly shrinking. The doc did not do
a thyroid antibody test but he did say I had elevated antibodies according
to my lab results. When I first started taking the Iodine my thyroid
swelled some, but it is now a normal size. I feel physically much better.
Detox/herx symptoms can be a bear but if you take extra magnesium, vit C,
selenium, zinc and copper, and manganese, and use sea salt and plenty of
water this can be reduced greatly. That and backing off on the dose until
you feel a bit better. If you have a lot of toxins to detox the detox
pathways can be overcome and this causes the detox/herx symptoms, or a
viral load die off, or candida/fungus die off. The minerals the shepherd
the halides, mercury and other stuff out are the ones I've listed above.
You don't have a chance to get too much of them because the get used up
binding to toxins and carrying them out, usually through the urine. And
the body needs some of them for regular maintenance and enzyme production.
I also added milk thistle, and dandelion to my regime to support the
liver, and R ALA to boost glutathione. It also helped that I found a
pitcher that filters everything including 80 - 90 % of fluoride from my
tap water. And cutting out MSG, aspartame, and breads made from brominated
flours, as well as all soft drinks, and upping my pure water intake to
nearly 90 0z per day. I also added vit D3, and sea salt to my regime quite
a while back and cut out almost all the processed salt.
Those with autoimmune hypothyroid issues MUST take the selenium, it's NOT
an option, or it WILL cause problems, especially with antibodies. I get so
tired of people not doing it the recommended way and then saying it's
harmful. Or expecting it to work over night. Stephanie's(The Iodine list
Mom) husband took at least a year to bring his Hashi's antibodies down to
nothing. So it's a long term thing, and sometimes in the interim the
thyroid usually WILL swell to grab more Iodine, when it has enough it will
start to reduce in size. My thyroid kind of went up and down in size for
two months or so before it settled down. But man oh man the detoxing I was
doing during that time.
I won't say that my thyroid swelling up even more, like that didn't scare
me to death, it did, but I was also told that it would go back down again,
and it did.
But I guess everyone gets to health in their own way, there are many
choices out there and a lot of research. I researched Iodine, the
recommendations of nutrients to take with it and why, and the even the
reports against it, thoroughly for several months before I made the
decision to buy the Iodine and give it go. I haven't been sorry yet. Well
except for an initial bad detox/herx reaction, LOL. I haven't lowered my
thyroid med dose yet, I still have to get blood work done to see what my
TSH, T4, T3 levels are doing.

Having been hypothryoid and having done this, I would *highly* that
folks with that condition look into the high iodine dosing. I am no
longer hypothyroid and it cleared up a lot of other issues for me.
Another case of varying mileage.

Hypothyroidism can be fairly quickly reversed simple by
ingesting sufficient iodine. The Yahoo Group named iodine
can get you up to speed on iodine in very short order. pj
