Re: Thyroid nodules/cysts
Hi Fayden, you've found the right forum! The first thing you need to do is familiarize yourself with the literature. There's a lot to this, it's not so simple as "taking iodine". An introduction can be found here:

I found a couple of references for you re: thyroid cysts.
Iodine therapy will absolutely take care of that:) I don't know that we have anyone here treating that specific problem, so noone can tell you how much to take. I am currently taking 50mg. per day for fibrocystic breast disease and my cysts are rapidly becoming a memory. I started out slowly with my dosage, it took 3 mos. to work up to 50 mg.
Iodine is recommended in all sorts of cystic conditions...

"One of the most satisfying effects of orthoiodosupplementation has been in the treatment of fibrocystic breasts and thyroid nodules. The treatment of fibrocystic breasts with
Iodine has been reported for over 100 years. Iodine/iodide supplementation has resulted in significant improvement in fibrocystic breast illness for nearly every patient treated. Thyroid nodules also respond positively to iodine/iodide supplementation. Serial ultrasounds usually show decrease in the size of the thyroid cysts and nodules and eventual resolution of the lesions. When orthoiodosupplementation is combined with a complete nutritional program, it is rare not to see improvement in the palpation and radiological examination of thyroid nodules and cysts following iodine/iodide therapy as described here."

“As I started to use larger doses of iodine (12.5-50mg/day), I began to see positive results in my patients. Goiters and nodules of the thyroid shrank. Cysts on the ovaries became smaller and began to disappear. Patients reported increased energy. Metabolism was increased as evidenced by my patients having new success in losing weight. Libido improved in men and women. People suffering with brain fog reported a clearing of their foggy feelings. Patients reported having vivid dreams and better sleep. Most importantly, those with chronic illnesses that were having a difficult time improving began to notice many of their symptoms resolving.”
