Hashimoto's question

Any one here have Hashimoto's or know someone with it who has worked through it with the help of Iodine.

I just spoke with an MD/ayurvedic doc last nite about a mutual client and she told me she was a "disciple" of Brownstein initially with Iodine info, but after several bad experiences working with Hashimotos people she will not use Iodine with them, and she can work with them without it

I read Brownstein and he makes it sound like Iodine is critical in treating them....??????

Anyone got anything to share on this?????
