Re: not absorbing iodine?
My first thought is that perhaps you need to switch to a liquid form of iodine. I do very well on the detoxified and magnascent forms of iodine.
After cleaning up my diet, lol, my thyroid is back to functioning very well.
The iodines sold from both of these websites can be shipped to Ireland:

http://www.magnascent.com
Also, it takes VERY little. Nevermind the information that says: 200mcg per drop. These iodines DO get absorbed quite well. This has proven out over many...including myself...who, btw, went on Iodoral, took many pills a day, and didn't have NEAR the detoxing effect as much less of the above iodines. I'm not saying the Iodoral didn't help me, but I think my body just didn't absorb from the pills as well as from the liquid forms.
Of course, for your
SSKI needs, I know you can't order from Trapper because he is not able to ship internationally. However, people still report phenomenal results from the above products alone.
I hope this helps you!
