iodine

[lili2701]

Hello!

well recently i've been advised to take iodine, for my thyroid (hashimotos thyroidits) but also for CFS as it's said to help:

Do we really need to take the loading test?
What daily dose should I start with?
the one I bought is 100 ug iodine tablets

any advice much appreciated!

i take 4 iodoral pills in the morning. I think i started at 2 a day.
The pills are 5 mg iodine and 7.5mg potassium iodide.

it says it's dangerous to take it when u have hashimotos thyroiditis... i dont understand, there are opposite statements, so who to believe??

I am a big fan of Kombu a Japanese sea vegetable, I know it is a natural source of iodine, easily available in health food shops. I pop a couple in the water as my soup is cooking. I dont know what the recommend daily amount is, but I guess there is not much of it in our diet generally.

and it helps to:

lower cholesterol
promote the thyroid gland hormone
lower blood pressure
for intestinal disorders
prevents sudden rises of the blood sugar level
