Re: Iodine for Thyroid.

In your first post you asked for a wide outlook so I thought I'd give my 2 cents...

I'm actually not a believer in Iodine yet.   After reading a lot, I've decided to slowly build my resistance to Lugols (now up to 6 drops per week... i take 3 drops, 2 days in a row, then rest for the week)

I have headaches, bromide zits and a swollen throat feeling when taking iodine.  I'm taking it because I want to get rid of the fluoride, because I think it has caused my mild hypothyroidism... so I'm willing to experiment on myself.

The only thing that helps my symptoms is "salt-loading".  I recommend 'Redmond's Real Salt', which I picked up from Whole Foods.  As a bonus... it's the best-tasting salt I've ever had.  I couldn't imagine taking a tablespoon of salt in water before... and I thought it might be dangerous since I used to have high blood-pressure. 

The thing is - this Redmond's Real Salt is some f-ing magical ancient dinosaur sea-salt.  You know dinosaurs couldn't even exist because the energy needed to pump their blood...  yet they DID exist.  I'm convinced it's because they used Redmond's Real Salt.  I don't get higher blood-pressure while taking it.  It's some unbelievable salt. 

So if you do choose to stick with taking iodine, my biggest recommendation is some good salt for "salt-loading".
