Increased organification of Iodide in the thyroid gland following ATP Cofactor was observed in FM patients. In Table 1 are displayed the results of thyroid function tests in 5 FM patients before intervention, after 100 mg Iodine for 6 weeks and after the addition of the ATP Cofactors for another 6 weeks. The mean values of all thyroid hormones measured decreased following 6 weeks on Iodine at 100 mg/day. However, all mean values increased to baseline levels following 6 weeks on ATP Cofactors.

Conclusion
Orthoiodosupplementation with ATP Cofactors should be part of a complete nutritional program emphasizing magnesium instead of calcium. In the author’s experience, megadosing with calcium (2,000-3,000 mg/day) has been the most common cause of poor response to orthoiodosupplementation. Physicians and other health care professionals need to be informed about the toxicity of excess calcium,32 and the importance of adequate magnesium intake32-36 for optimal health and strong bones.
