Studies show people getting goiters, hypothyroid, hyperthyroid, graves and hashimoto's issues after taking iodine.
I would like to see if anyone here has ever had a goiter from taking iodine and how long did it last?
Thanks,
Paraboy

Yes, I know that and you know that, but the stupid studies out there say differently.
I would like to see from the experiences of those who supplement regularly for years.
I know they resolve unless they have a hot nodule and I would like to know if anyone has had the hot nodule resolve on their one.

This is a reply to # 2,053,966The studies do have merit. People who take Iodine supplements without also taking selenium are at a very high risk for thyroid problems.
I have documented these problems in Iodine References:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_q9ixGwZFon9yidvmZ0IFbp3Vj5jXDmOp0HwpdBS6...
As you can see in these studies, Iodine & selenium are co-dependent. Take one without the other and thyroid problems can be expected. This is one reason why iodine got such a bad rap. The thyroid can be a fussy little thing.

There's a lot of reading in there and unfortunately, I've lost motivation to sift through lengthy web pages. Thanks for understanding.:)
If possible and you have time, can you kindly point out a couple specific passages / references that support the notion that:
"People who take Iodine supplements without also taking selenium are at a
very high risk for thyroid problems."
I'd like to look into this, because, well, I was the first person on this place to hike it up to multi-gram doses, and I never hardly took no selenium and I never got no goiter or thyroid issues. Vielen Dank. :)- Re: Ginagirl

This is a reply to # 2,054,141This forum is certainly not a "one size fits all"
Into concideration I would take the fact that some areas of the US is high in selenium (soil) this may contribute to thyroid problems; as the selenium gets to high in proportion to iodine.
Over here in Scandinavia the soil is very low, and it is a problem, even the government have admitted; but we are saved by grain import, from US.
Anyway; I took up to 800 mcg selenium methionine for some time in the beginning of io supp + brazil nuts. With under 50 mg iodine, it was too much selenium as I see it now. But I survived. What I have seen in a couple of cases was that to much selenium caused hair loss.
Diet influence this too; you have mentioned eating sardines very often, you get a near perfect selenium-sulfur-amino acid food.

Yes, I am a sardine addict. Partly because I am lazy.... they are so quick and easy to eat.
I like to look at various "studies" closely, in my experience for the vast majority of the cases wrongful or unsubstantiated conclusions are drawn. Plus, fraud in the medical literature is not a rare thing.

That's the truth - not to mention that even if a study was done by an "honest" group - it was most likely done on an already iodine/magnesium/potassium-deficient populace.- Re: UserX

This is a reply to # 2,054,193No doubt its bad to be selenium-deficient while supplementing iodine, but, its bad to be selenium-deficient even if not supplementing iodine. Folks shouldn't need to be supplementing with Iodine to learn that they also need selenium, but sometimes it works out that way. My recollection is that Se has a role in neutralizing excess superoxide ion or other oxy radicals.

This is a reply to # 2,054,197I make sandwiches with them , and put all kinds of things on there, lettuce, tomato, chese, sometimes. Othertimes its just the bread and the fish. Fills me up pretty well, and fast. A couple grams of vit. C in some juice, and a little fruit on the side. Today its strawberries from Poteet, Texas. Like a madman, I bought a whole case of 'em off a lady on the side of the road and now must gobble them up before they go bad. They're so good, way better than California strawberries, which I never would eat.

I portion them out to however much I would like in a smoothie, then pop in a freezer bag (and kind of flatten it out so the strawberries don't freeze into a big blob).
When I'm ready to make a smoothie, then I have a nice base, and no ice cubes needed! I really want some farmer's market strawberries now...

I agree because it is poorly written studies like this that keep drs from seeing the truth about iodine.
The interesting part is that none of the neonates had a goiter. Twins resolved their hypo status, but the other they left him on thyroid hormone.
We have no idea how long the mothers were on iodine and they didn't do a followup after 3 months to see where their TSH was at.

That's terrible because there are no real details describing these 2 situations.
For all we know, these 2 pregnancies could have been cherry picked.
