So here's my history.

First of all thank you all for reponding. I started taking iodne 7 years ago when I was feeling cold even though I took many covers during the night. Then I learnt from this forum to take my basal temperature. Mine was 94 F for a week. Also I learnt from here that I was consuming too much Soy milk, which may have knocked out my thyroid. I started with one drop of Lugol's and built it up. Very first drop of Lugol's made me feel uphoric and my body temperature changed immediately. From then on I have taken 10 to 25 drops of Lugol's first thing in the morning evryday. I also take Vitamin C (3000mg) and Selenium before going to bed everyday. Very rarely I forget the companion supplements.

My urine test reading was 844- - - (do not know the unit). I also go to a naturopath who does all kind of tests but never prescribes drugs. He has told me that there is no harm in taking iodine, but take it if I feel the need for it. Dr. Brownstein actually worked with Dr. Ali (my doc). He is going to do another test in six months and see if I need more iodine or not. I may continue as per need. Iodine has always helped me. Thank you all.
