Re: When to stop raising iodine?
You should test for tsh (thyroid stimulating hormone), T3F (t3 hormone in free form) and the same for T4 hormone. And you could also test for reverse T3, Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Antibodies (TPOAb, Thyroglobulin Antibodies / Antithyroglobulin Antibodies and
Thyroid-Stimulating Immunoglobulins (TSI) / TSH Stimulating Antibodies (TSAb). The names would be pretty much the same in Danish, too. And doctors use Latin anyway. And I'm sure they speak good English, too.
In my country we get Armour Thyroid, too, so probably in yours, too. Just explain at the pharmacy what it's made of.
Try finding a doctor who practices functional medicine. You might want to show this page to your hubby... umm you can find it if you google funktionell medicin (in Swedish) or the same in Danish. The Swedish page I was looking at has the words fokuspahalsa in its address.
I'm seeing a doctor of functional medicine here in my country and it was she who, among other therapies, put me on iodine.
And there is a great lab in Scandinavia
called Nordic Laboratories. It is actually based in Copenhagen and specialized in doing tests that functional medicine requires (e.g. iodine, parasites, reverse T3, fatty acids etc.)
