Hi Marsha,

Long time since I've posted. I have just gone through two surgeries and RAI ablation on my thyroid. it was cancer, however. I suggest you find a holistic dr. to check thyroid levels, as the reg docs only want to use synthroid hormones and not the natural ones, which is not as good IMHO! I have used iodine too but quit when the drs scared me into the surgeries. I tell you the big C word really does scare the crap out of you. They now tell me there is nothing wrong with me ... but never any guarantee. It will always be haunting me. I will start using the iodine again in a few months after my next WBS as it interferes with the results.

The thyroid will absorb as much iodine as it can but bromine and chorine will replace it and block it if you give it a chance. Gatorade and Mountain dew are heavily doused with brominated vegetable oil and it blocks the iodines uptake. I think that is what may have caused my cancer as i used gatorade quite heavily.... not no more!!!

You might want to check out the iodine really well. Mine got worse after using it and my holistic practitioner told me it could have been the iodine.

      Oops, I meant to say nodules.
    I too have cysts on my head and elsewhere, they are sebaceous
    cysts, nonmalignant globs of skin oils called sebum, which over
    time had built up and formed a bump because the follicle didn`t
    have an opening to the outside to let the sebum out. Easily
    removed. It`s a hereditary thing, my dad and my youngest son both
    had/have them.
      I did have a scan and a needle biopsy on my nodules. No cancer,
    so far...
    Last night I ordered in an iodine preparation from the Global
    Healing Center (on the Internet) where I get my Calcium/Magnesium
    Orotate from, I hope that might help. I haven`t gotten the results
    back from my bloodwork yet, I hope to find out if my thyroid is
    working well or not.
    Anyone else have nodules or other thyroid experiences?

        I would be interested also since I have been told I have
        "thyroid nodules".  I have been using a cosmodic unit which
        supposedly has regenerative abilities.  I'll know the end of
        the year when I go back for a scan.

            What do you call a 'thyroid cyst'?

            The reason I ask is cos one of my daughters had a small
            cyst {quack diagnosed} right in the middle of the top of
            her head {the 'fontinel' spot I spose one could say} and
            just want to know if it's the same thing, if not, then I
            needn't go any further.

            Hi, Mike,
            Just had to tell you, and the List, that CS knocked out a
            nasty toothache, and now I don`t have to have a 900 buck
            root canal!!! To the dentists: neener, neener, neener! :oP
             Now, does anyone have any good ideas for thyroid cysts? I
            have 2 on the right side that are so big, there`s little
            thyroid tissue left there, and my doc wants to whack that
            side out.
             (EEEEWWW, I don`t want my throat cut!!!) At least they
            aren`t cancer...
