Dee, 
You might try Kelp. It has lots of natural Iodine and much more to offer than 
iodine. It might be more helpful to your metabolism. Don't get discouraged,
Paula

        Really I'm quite fed up because it seems that you read one thing is 
good for you and then along comes something else to say that it is not!  I did 
the suggested iodine test (a patch on the skin) and it was absorbed in seven 
hours.  This is supposed to indicate that I am low on iodine and as I have one 
or two symptoms that would seem to support this I am now taking a supplement of 
it.  I have to say that I have far more energy than I did and feel much better, 
but the weight thing is still a problem, as I have to eat next to nothing to 
lose it.  Even then it doesn't seem to work.  I am getting to the stage where I 
am going to use *no* supplements at all but make juice.  Mind you, I've read 
that even that is not as good as eating fruit!  You can't win!  Dee

        Here is another site (it does mention iodine in other body tissues than
        the thyroid gland, and mentions iodine for fibrocystic breast disease
        though it says nothing about breast cancer)
        sol


        It may be harmful to take more iodine than is typically consumed per day
        (160 to 600 micrograms [mcg]) from table salt. Daily intake of 2,000 mcg
        iodine may be toxic, particularly in people with kidney disease or
        tuberculosis.
