I have not followed all of this. Excuse me if I am duplicating.
Years ago I read that the thyroid and breast compete for iodine and that
breast cancer was mostly due to to low iodine.

Yes, as Hashimoto's patient myself - Iodine made me feel worse. You can read
Dr K's reasons for not giving iodine to his patient. Please note that
Hashimoto's is NOT hypothyroidism with a lot of people get mixed up.

I had read somewhere that iodine can - in some instances - be detrimental to

anyone know if this is correct? I know that the thyroid usually needs
iodine....Dee

Hi, Patricia. No, iodine will not replace thyroid extract or synthetic thyroid
meds if you need them. I do think (just my opinion) that someone who is barely
hypo (underactive thyroid), can perhaps avoid having to take thyroid meds or can
avoid becoming more hypo by optimizing the health of their thyroid. Selenium is
also good (along with cofactors of Vit C and magnesium and sea salt) when taking
iodine.
If you have been taking iodine for 4 yrs now, then you have gotten past all the
detox that iodine supplementation can sometimes bring on from ingested
fluorides,
bromines and chlorides. That is good. You may not think that the iodine is
doing
anything but it is.
I am totally inexperienced with thyroid nodules, goiters, etc. since I have
never
had those problems. If your thyroid isn't performing optimally tho, that could
well
explain your low immune system. Thyroid affects and impacts so many things in
the
body.
You might want to think about joining the yahoo group,'Natural Thyroid
Hormones' on Yahoo. They cover all the thyroid supplements, not just the NDT
extract and they have very knowledgeable moderators. They are on hiatus until
Tuesday but I would encourage you to consider joining the group if you aren't
already a member.
Having your doctor run some blood tests on your thyroid (if you haven't run them
already) will be very helpful in seeing what is going on. The STTM website is
an excellent resource for which tests to run. The STTM stands for 'Stop The
Thyroid Madness'. http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/recommended-labwork/

I take Lodoral (lugos tablet form) It is Iodine 5mg and Iodide 7.5mg for
a total of 12.5 mg. I've been taking it for about 4 years.
I can't tell it does anything. I take it because i have low immunity
and see to catch everything. Doing allergy testing now ..so maybe that
will help my immune system.

Patricia.. not sure what you are asking? Iodine is a mineral that our body
requires just like chromium, copper, zinc.... even vitamins. It is taken
up, preferentially, first by the thyroid, then by the sex organs, then by
the rest of the body.
What dose are you on and when did you start taking the iodine?

I have to get educated on this so forgive my question: Does Lugols in
liquid or tablet form provide what is needed ?

Raven... I am also a real believer and fan of NDT since it was such a stunning

very easy for
me to do.

However, there are some folks who don't do well on NDT (natural desiccated
thyroid
(brand names such as Armour and Naturethroid) and do well on
Synthroid/synthetic T 4.
I can't convert t 4 to t 3 and so, have to have the natural NDT product. My
sister,
on the other hand, has done fabulously on Synthroid since the eighties and had
all
kinds of problems with NDT when she tried to take it a few years back at my
urging.
But she does have hashis and I don't. The compounded product can be another
option
for hypo sufferers since the fillers/additives in the commercial brands can be
problematic for some and this alternative gives them some control over that
aspect.
Here is an article that might be helpful to some in explaining why it is so
difficult
to be a 'purist' in the sense of subscribing to one form of thyroid medication
to the
exclusion of others. Those who struggle to find the right product and the
correct
dosage have my sympathies. It can be an arduous and frustrating journey for
some.

An excerpt from the article...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"However, in some cases patients do feel better with synthetic hormones. One reason
for this is that a small subset of people with Hashimoto’s produce antibodies not only to
their thyroid tissue (TPO and TG), but also to their own thyroid hormones (T4 and T3).
These patients do worse with bio-identical sources because they increased the source of
the autoimmune attack."

I highly recommend anyone with Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism to take only
NATURAL DISSICATED THYROID from Porcine - it's only made from a compounding
pharmacy. Insurance will NOT cover it... it's near human form and creates both
T3 and T4 that most synthetic thyroid drugs do NOT make.
Then see Dr Rommel Geronimo (From San Diego, CA)who can offer long distant
consultation via phone/emails/Skype --- he will help you pin point exactly what
you need to do to change your diet, to add certain supplements that you need,
and repair every organs - intestinal, endocrine, cognitive, nervous system and
take a lot of tests to make sure there's no parasites, food allergies, celiac
disease, and etc.
