Iodine must be taken with:

• 1500 mg vitamin C 2 times per day to repair the Sodium/Iodide Symporter (NIS) problem. More maybe necessary to detox bromides.NIS is what transports iodine into the tissues. Iodine defuses into tissues, but iodide has to be transported via the Sodium-Iodide-Symporter. Breast cancer patients and hypoT children have a faulty NIS.

• 1/2 tsp of Celtic Sea salt needs to be taken with 16 oz of water to flush out bromide while taking iodine. Flushing Bromide also, must be done with graves.

• 200 mcg Selenium, as selenomethionine, must be used with iodine to prevent hashimoto's from graves or hypo to hashimoto's. Selenium attaches to mercury and keeps it out of our tissues.

• 300-600 mg magnesium oxide (Iodine Investigation Project participants prefer magnesium glycinate or magnesium citrate.)

• 500 mg niacin (B3) twice a day (NOT niacinamide). Start lower to avoid flush. *See update in left margin on the ATP Cofactors as an alternative. helps muscles and tissues absorb iodine. fibromyalgia.

• 100 mg Vitamin B2 three times a day. *See update in left margin on the ATP Cofactor as an alternative. helps muscles and tissues absorb iodine. fibromyalgia.

(Feb 2008) Dr. Guy Abraham cautions that "excess calcium supplementation (2,000- 3,000 md/day) has been the most common cause of poor response to iodine supplementation." Vitamin Research News Vol. 22. Number 2.
