Re: ~Testimonial~ On Sunday, February 4th...

Hi wombat. Thanks for all that great info! Those radio interviews were very interesting. One of the doctors (forgot which) did say that success can be had in treating FBD with Iodine and that about 70% of women with FBD are helped by it. But I wonder...the 30% that aren't helped, do they have Hashimoto's? And is it the Hashi's antibodies that is preventing the Iodine from being soaked up by breast tissue? I guess nobody really knows for sure. That's why I thought I'd post here and see if any women had both Hashi's and FBD and still found help with the iodine. I read the book by Dr. Brownstein "Iodine Why You Need It" and it touched on these issues but didn't really give an answer.
How long have you been taking the iodine? Does it seem to be helping? How much do you take? I was taking 2 drops of Lugol's for about a month and just increased it to 5 drops a day. I am doing this on my own, which may be stupid. I never had an Iodine loading test. I don't feel any different, better or worse since taking it so maybe I'm not absorbing it and just peeing it out. I will see an endo next week and I'll hit him with all these questions. If he doesn't kill me first for taking iodine without asking, lol!
Thanks again. Tweet
