Hey,
FIrst off his statement that the "thyroid is the only organ in the body that can absrob iodine" is compeltely unfounded.
A leading expert on iodine is Guy Abraham, M.D., a former professor of obstetrics, gynecology and endocrinology at UCLA School of Medicine. Traditionally, it was thought that iodine played a role only in thyroid function, but Abraham's study called The Iodine Project (see www.optimox.com) concluded that iodine has many other health benefits.

As for this poster's statement: Would supplementing iodine be good for someone with hyperthyroidism? No.
It is absolutely unfounded and ridiculous. Hypo, as well as Hyperthyroidism is caused by heavy metals like Mercury and pseudo-iodines like fluorine and bromine that occupying and block the cellular receptor sites normally reserved for iodine. Mercury occupying the receptor sites of the bodies many organs glands and systems also greatly impairs the proper hormone regulation through the same vehicle of blocking receptor sites.
Because the function of the iodine uptake mechanism is ancient and lacking of specificity, cells are not able to distinguish iodide from other anions of similar atomic or molecular size, which may act as “pseudo-iodides”: bromide, flouride, chlorine, thiocyanate, cyanate, nitrate, pertechnate, perchlorate" (Wolff J (1964) Transport of iodide and other anions in the thyroid gland. Physiol Rev 44:45-90)
By displacing these pseuo-Iodines, hyperthyroidism as well as hypothyroidism is remedied by iodine supplementation.
More on mercury:
The affinity of mercury for the pituitary gland was first identified by Stock in 1940. Autopsy studies in 1975 revealed that, contrary to accepted belief that the kidney was the prime accumulator of inorganic mercury, the thyroid and pituitary retain and accumulate more inorganic mercury than the kidneys. It has been well documented that mercury is an endocrine system disrupting chemical in animals and people, disrupting function of the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, enzyme production processes, and many hormonal functions at low levels of exposure. People with high mercury levels in their bodies have more hormonal disturbances, immune disturbances, recurring fungal infections, hair loss and allergies. Hormones that are most often affected by mercury are thyroid, insulin, estrogen, testosterone, both anterior and posterior pituitary, and adrenaline. Almost all hormones have binding sights capable of connecting to metabolic cofactors, but mercury can bind here, too. Mercury frequently has a stronger affinity for these binding sites than the normal activators; even though the hormone is present in the bloodstream, it may not be able to act as it is supposed to act.
Anyone claiming that the mercury problem is "over-hyped" is a complete idiot and probably sacrifices babies in a dungeon.
