Re: Detox or what?.?

For Hashi you are supposed to take the Selenium first with co-supplements for a while until hashi settles down, then start on a LOW dose of iodine.

Dr. Dach says, "We are finding Hashimoto's thyroiditis to be more common than originally thought, almost epidemic, and it seems to be increasing. On a routine basis, initial evaluation includes thyroid antibody levels. In addition, all patients routinely must have a serum selenium level drawn. I have found that in almost all patients with elevated antibodies, selenium supplementation will normalize and drive down antibody levels on serial lab studies.

In order to prevent the thyroid storm and other adverse effects from Iodine in Hashimoto's patients, as you know, these patients must be supplemented with selenium first. This is why we first routinely draw a serum selenium, and for those cases below 135 ng/ml, we give 200-400 meg of selenomethionune for three weeks before starting the Iodine supplementation at 6.25 mg (half the 12.5 mg tab) every other day.

Starting with a lower dose of Iodine avoids the various adverse effects of skin itching and metallic taste and GI symptoms that can be reported at first. These are usually transient, and after a week or so, the dose can be safely increased to a full tablet daily...."

I suggest you follow the Dr. Brownstein Protocol, starting with 1 drop of 2% Lugols in a bottle of water. As Dr. Dach suggested start small with 1 oz a day of the iodized water and slowly titrate up. Details here, and verify the companions you are taking. The Selenium is vital for Hashi:

Some people can start with 12mg or more of iodoral and others who are highly toxic cannot. Hashi makes it worse. For more see the chapters Hashimoto, Selenium here:

After reading these links, you will know more about Hashi than your doctor. Print these reports out for your doctor so that he may learn more about Hashi.
