Re: cystic acne

You can snack on raw veggies if you feel the need, but mostly you want to drink digestive teas so that the toxins in the stomach and small intestine are burned up like a self-cleaning oven. You can take fiber and enemas/colonics to clean the large intestine. Raw veggies are good fiber but can be hard to digest if you don't cut them fine and chew carefully.

The most accurate test is Western medicine. Take advantage of Western medicine diagnostic tools even if you don't intend to just blindly swallow any pill they give you. :) The test is TSH and a good lab will make it part of the basic metabolic panel for a basic physical. They used to keep it separate and charge extra which was a real pain. A normal TSH reading should be in between 1-3. If it's higher, your thyroid is slow/low. If it's lower, your thyroid is ramped up and this must be treated.

The Iodine was to feed your thyroid. The thyroid uses Iodine to create a lot of its hormones, but it doesn't need much. Eating fish, seafood, and sea vegetables like seaweed, and caviar, once a month, and using natural Sea Salt , will give you plenty.

The other way you can test your thyroid, but it only works for hypothyroidism, is to take your temperature every morning before getting out of bed for a week. Average it out and if the average is less than about 96.5 then defintely see about taking Armour.
