Nenah,
Sad to say, much of the sudden interest in the thyroid and iodine
these days stem from fears of radiological "dirty bombs" an the need
for rapid prophylaxis. LEF.org sells affordable pre-packaged iodine
pills for those interested in emergency preparedness. Luigol's iodine
also works, so I read, but having pre-packaged dosages seems wise in
an emergency, when no one can think straight and all that well-filed
information one has saved becomes inaccessible for whatever reason . .

Thank you very much, paula, for explaining to me about how
wide-spread
iodine is in the average north-american diet. I still think,
though, that
it's possible for some people to be low in iodine without being
actually
deficient. The USRDA for iodine is 80 - 150mcg. On the other hand,
the
average japanese dietary intake of iodine is 10mg (their diet is
high in
ocean fish and seaweeds). That's 10 times the amount of the USRDA.
Usually, the USRDA is the minimum needed to avoid disease... not for
optimum
functioning.
I'm learning that supplementing iodine, especially when taken as
Lugol's
solution, must be done with understanding and care. I have only
taken it
for a few days now and plan to take it for just two or three weeks.
I won't
know for awhile if this supplementation will help my low body
temperature
(sign of low thyroid) or not... will see.
I'm very sorry to hear about your problem with eczema and wish I
could offer
some information. Hope you find some relief soon.

CRAIG WROTE:
There is a very easy way to test for your level of iodine. Simply
take
a q-tip, dip it into the iodine and paint a quarter size circle on
your
thigh, stomach...if it is gone in 24hrs, you need more. You can
continue in this manner until some is still there after 24 hours. You
can also put it on you hand and it will disappear in about 1 hour...
After you are topped off, check after 3 days or so on. You'll soon
figure out how often you need to swab yourself.
Hi Everyone.
It's amazing...I'm on six or seven health-oriented lists, and about
five of them
have been discussing iodine and the thyroid in the past few weeks.
Therefore, I have written and posted some articles on the thyroid and
iodine on
my website. Go to
http://www.nenahsylver.com/default.asp?contentID=677&toplevel=615 and
click onto
everything in the right hand box that starts with the word "Thyroid."
I have found a great deal of information that I think will help
clarify some
questions people have.
With love,
Nenah
