since 8 months ago i have been supplementing a lot vitamins and minerals.
Especially, I have gone through 15ml of 7% Lugols solution in these last 8 months. (690mg Iodine & 1,380mg Iodide within 8 MONTHS)
I just took Iodine by itself... with no other things... And i think it caused and INCREASE IN MY ILLNESS & adrenal fatigue. I think it is harsh on the adrenals.
After further research I have found out that Iodine is an OXIDANT and generates FREE RADICALS and ACCELERATES AGING.
Also after taking the iodine for so long, My thyroid has actually SLOWED DOWN, and My adrenal Fatigue has INCREASED, as seen by my other recent thread.
My TSH used to be 1.8, since taking the iodine it is now at 3.1... a major SLOW DOWN.
Also I tested For Both thyroid antibodies... BOTH came back NEGATIVE. SO hashimotos was NOT the problem!
So i think overall iodine MAY have lowered my thyroid and health ALTHOUGH IT IS POSSIBLE SOMETHING ELSE MAY HAVE CAUSED A SLOW IN MY THYROID, i doubt it?
I used to feel weird while on iodine too... But theres so many QUACKS on this forum that keep saying its 'die off symptoms' etc etc et
SO BE CAREFUL ABOUT SUPPLEMENTING IODINE.
Why do you think it slowed my thyroid down? Sometimes I could also feel an internal lump in my throart when taking iodine after no taking it for a while, im guessing that was my thyroid swelling up because it didnt like the iodine?
I took the equivelent of 3mg IODINE & 6mg Iodide EVERY SINGLE DAY for 8 MONTHS
That too much? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too much thyroid support is a stressor for the adrenal glands.

Thyroid energy in excess of what the adrenals can handle is a stressor to the adrenals.

This is a reply to # 1,800,348In addition to what Feo said, you're supposed to take Iodine with the companion nutrients, like selenium, or yeah, it will damage your thyroid, as far as I know.
I can't tell if you were doing the companion nutrients by reading your posts.
You said:
"since 8 months ago i have been supplementing a lot vitamins and minerals."
And you also said:
"I just took Iodine by itself... with no other things..."
Iodine also displaces other halogens that cause an increase in problems. That could be your problem too.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,800,389Basicly I didnt take ANY companion supplements. Just a multivitamin with it. I thought it was just simple as taking a few drops of Iodine per day. I am now supplementing Selenium cystiene however, 1200mcg per day. So catching up with my Selenium. I have STOPPED all Iodine intake.
How long do you think it would take for any thyroid damage to be reversed?

This is a reply to # 1,800,348For one thats barely any iodine, the japanese take 13mg a day on average. I'm not totally defending iodine, sometimes Iodine makes me feel better, esp at first then it sometimes makes me feel worse, could be detox, could be worsening my thyroid, those on Iodine forum say its the former. i can't take it continously only a couple of weeks at a time at most but when i do its a high dose. I do know my tsh was 3 before i touched Iodine and the last test 5 months ago it was 0.9, when i take iodine its 100-180mg a day (of iodine in the form of lugols), but like i say only a few days or a week or too.
Not nice of you to call them QUACKS either, iodine has helped them and improved their thyroid issues, most of them are just sharing the info. I know it is said to fix your adrenals before tackling the thyroid but adrenals need iodine too apparently so i dunno.
Taking iodine without selenium can make a selenium deficiency worse, and if you had read the FAQ over at iodine you would have read the importance of taking the companion supplements with the iodine. Selenium is also essential for the thyroid as well.

Quacks on this forum? Hmmm . . .
You did not take all that much iodine - no more than the average Japanese takes daily. If you left out the vital co-factors, especially selenium, and weren't also getting plenty of good antioxidants in your diet (or supplementation) you were not doing yourself a world of good to be sure.
Lots of things generate free radicals, but that does not make them bad in and of themselves. Oxygen for example. The key is balance - and often taking a single item without supporting items in your diet or supplementation is not balanced.
A couple of Standard Process items you might consider are Drenamin and Thytrophin PMG - both very high quality, usually highly effective and made by no one else.

This is a reply to # 1,800,348Without a professional determination, it is hard to guess. There are nutritional doctors out there if you wish.
and that... is why it is always best to take the whole food.
Unfortunately the seas have been and are under assault, slowly, and in some cases rapidly (BP, TEPCO) taking our whole food options away.
Potassium Iodide is a neutral salt... which would indicate that your problem *may* be another deficiency of some sort.
Potassium Iodide is *made* through a reaction between KOH (potassium hydroxide), and HI...
It is what they put in iodized salt... among other things.
Iodide *may* also, in a *normal* person, increase nitrogen excretion... that could be good to a point, and then bad if excessive.
And yes, it *can* express as a free radical and accelerate aging if one is not consuming a nutrient dense, mineral rich diet along with it.
Think protein metabolism, among other things.
