Hello. I am thyroid patient,currently on Iodine protocol: 50 mg Lugol's iodine,
400 mg selenomethionine,
Zn 25 mg,
c vitamin 2000-3000 mg,
Mg citrate 1300mg.
B vitamin complex with all b vitamins RDV amount.
D vitamin 5 000 units.
1/2 spoon salt with water.
I am taking them in the morning during the breakfast and spliting Iodine throughout the day.
My thyroid hormones and antibodies are in normal range (in the middle of range). Ferritine is in the upper level of the range. My D vitamin was around 20 mg/l. I have nodules and cysts in the thyroid both side,one side bigger.
I had Sugar addiction but I am managing it so I guess candida overgrowth can be culprit too.
Also I am gluten and lactose sensitive. I am on very low calorie diet around 1400-1600 as when I get more calories I have issues with concentration. Managing fatigue with good rest and exercise.
Symptoms that bother me:
I have severe hair loss,scalp and hair is dry,itchy.
Time to time my thyroid feels strained and bit painful. Lump seen on the neck sometimes shrinks bit but after comes again but does not disappear.
Should I add something into my protocol, or increase doses of any companions or iodine/selenium?
Thankx.

This is a reply to # 2,363,511Raise Vit D to 10,000 IU. Retest after 6 months. Aim for 60-100 mg/L.
Take selenomethionine separately from zinc, as they interfere with each other. You may want to take magnesium in split doses, with the larger amount at night. It peaks in serum about 3:30 a.m.
Would you say what your actual ferritin level was, with the units of measure and the range? Was there any test of serum iron? Hair loss can be from both low iron and low thyroid. Low iron could happen when it's sequestered in ferritin and not as available for use.
Be generous with how much fat you eat, modest with protein, and skimpy with carbs. Don't count calories. Let your body feel nourished and cared for. You would benefit from high-fat fishes such as salmon and sardines, including fish oils and cod liver oil. In fact, cod liver oil would give you additional Vitamins D and A. Fish oil on the inside is a blessing for skin on the outside.
Take a morning temperature before you get out of bed for 5 days or so. Best is a manual thermometer held under your tongue for 10 minutes. You want to see 97.8-98.2 F or 36.6-36.8 C. Later in the afternoon is when it's nice to see 98.6 F or 37 C.

This is a reply to # 2,363,522My ferritin level is 116 mcg/l range 13-150.
I have not done Iron in serum.
My hemoglobin is 13.6 g/dl.
Thanks for important insights.- Re: Iodine protocol. just thinking

This is a reply to # 2,363,686Ferritin of 116 is perfect in my book.
Hemoglobin 13.6 g/dL for a woman is okay, while for a man would be low.
A serum iron might help you know how well your copper stores are helping to bind iron for transport to the cells. For instance, a high serum iron with a good ferritin would indicate copper needed work. You might have adequate levels of copper, but it doesn't work right if it's out of balance with zinc. Serum levels of copper and zinc work best in a ratio of copper/zinc 0.7-1.0/1.0.
Regardless, between iron and thyroid, it appears that thyroid is the more likely culprit in your hair loss.
You asked about your protocol, and I think it looks good. I wouldn't mess with it before being sure your thyroid health is being addressed optimally. I regret to say that I needed thyroid hormone after all.

This is a reply to # 2,363,695Have analized my food intake vitamin and mineral vise and found that my copper daily intake is 2% of RDV, so might be extremely deficient in copper.
Have ordered it and awaiting delivery.
One thing I thought to do was to increase Iodine to 100mg, as on Iodine skin test it disappears in 2-3 hours, but a need of selenium increase to 800 mcg holds me back as it is way too high.

This is a reply to # 2,363,853Please don't consider raising selenium to 800 mcg without knowing you need it. I never took more than 200 mcg, yet after several years of it my blood level was close to being too high. I stopped it for awhile and am now back on it. Soils vary considerably in their selenium content. Stay on 200 mcg and take all the Iodine you need. BTW, the skin test has no value, as Dr. Abraham explains here:
