Re: Do not self medicate with iodine in case of hashimoto's disease.

The goitre WILL actually swell with Iodine intake to capture as much Iodine as possible in insufficent states. This is in the literature if you look for it.

I had a goitre too... a massive one.. which was removed.... I was left with half a thyroid which was growing another goitre.

I used the Iodine for 3 years and was able to shrink my goitre and halve my meds. Often, the iodine defiency will come from having Ascaris infection and/or insuffient iodine in the diet, which is almost everyone.

Initially there was swelling but I persevered. You may want to reassess. xox Good luck.
