I'm thrilled for the people who are able to take iodine and work on other aspects of their health, then come back from the brink into good health. However, I'm not going to be one of them. I take both iodine and generic Armour as well as adrenal support. I hope that as my thyroid is well supported I'll be able to back off the adrenal support, but the iodine and Armour are for life.
