Re: wondering : what was first? high estrogen levels or iodine deficiency?

The bible on Estogen Dominance:
Iodine is a key element not only in estrogen management but overall health. In addition to being used by the thyroid gland to help regulate metabolic function, protein synthesis, and hormone production throughout the body, Iodine also plays a vital role in the proper immune functions of the body. It is found in notable levels in the thymus, the central gland of the immune system, indicating Iodine is essential for the production of mature white blood cells.

Iodine is involved in the regulation of estrogen production; studies have shown that when there is a lack of Iodine in the body estrogen production spikes. Dr. Dave Derry, breast health specialist, states that “iodine enables the excess cells [in the breasts] to be cleared out,” essentially flushing out excess estrogen as well as withering and dead milk gland cells.

Tori Hudson, N.D., a naturopath and author of Women’s Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, recommends her estrogen dominant patients try supplemental iodine as iodine can reduce the body’s sensitivity to estrogen. There are several brands of liquid iodine, such as Lugols, that can be purchased over the counter at alternative health stores. Dr. Jonathan Wright recommends SSKI to his patients; it’s a combination supplement of both iodine and potassium. He suggests taking eight drops of the formula daily in a glass of water or milk; however recommends that when using this product that a close eye is kept on thyroid hormone levels as iodine can disrupt normal function. Dr. Wright states that he has seen this treatment show results after two to five months. More here:

The problem with estrogen is that it's a building hormone and we want it building correctly. Iodine seems to be the golden key for that to happen. AND iodine is key in all the sex organs so prehaps it just regenerated your ovaries so they could produce estrogen/progesterone again!!!

Estrogen is created in your ovaries, and iodine is required to properly produce it.

Bottom line, it all hinges on iodine,
