After years of struggling with hypothyroid symptoms and subclinical labs, I learned about iodine deficiency and thought this must be the missing piece. For some background, I have never been on thyroid medication or had thyroid labs until I became pregnant with my son who was born in 2020. My TSH is usually high and free T3/freeT4 in range. I have been experiencing secondary infertility for the past two years and also experienced a miscarriage a year ago, which led me to dig into the thyroid/iodine issue. In January 2023, I had some thyroid labs done and these were the results: TSH: ...

Dave, May I suggest you read up on Iodine. In the last 100 years a lot of research has been done on Iodine. You need to wake up and realize you’re sitting on the shoulders of the giants of past generations who have given you highly useful information, which too many self-appointed experts discard in favor of their preconceived ideas. Iodine supplementation is a necessity. However, Iodine is also a powerful stimulant that can easily give you symptoms of detoxification as well as insomnia which, in turn, can influence your thinking negatively.

Most folks bodies have been deficient in iodine for so long, that when you suddenly give it some, the cells and systems involved in its uptake become suddenly awakened. TSH skyrocketing suddenly in response to suddenly giving the body what it needs that it hasn’t had for so long, elicits measurable responses and one of them is a sudden increase in TSH, which is well-documented, and which is well known that the vast majority of ”professional” endocrinologists mis-interpret as alleged hypothyroidism.   [End]

You might search for the half-life of iodine supplements. The results may be different for 1mg doses of supplements rather than US RDA level supplements. Learn about the various thyroid tests. TSH is very commonly used by insurance doctors; however the work horse thyroid hormone is T3. Even if your test comes back negative, you may like the effect of related supplements--iodine, selenium, zinc, glandular supplements, maybe ashwagandha, etc.   [End]

Yes. If you’re like most of the population, taking iodine will cause your TSH level to rise and your MD will be quick to diagnose you as hypothyroid and put you on synthroid. that is the present flowchart for endocrinologists. so, anyone in the world can basically be diagnosed as being hypothyroid, by merely taking a little iodine before the test. That exhibits how lacking the MD’s knowledge is, on an ancient topic. Imagine trusting them with anything else.... eek   [End]

Testing E and R T3 seems reasonable. You might also add DHT, especially if you are loosing hair. You could try taking some saw palmetto along with your testosterone support.   [End]

I’m 36, male, 130 lbs, 5’ 7”. I have anxiety and fatigue everyday. I’m doing research and found that i might have subclinical hypothyroidim. TSH is high but other 4 hormones are in range. Usually my DHEA stays in 200s range but this time it dropped way down. I’m on Testosterone replacement theraphy but it doesn’t do much for me. I don’t feel good even after taking shots. I’m thinking of testing for Free Estradiol and reverse T3.   [End]

Were you amped up or had anxeity on the day of the test? Did you have typical fatigue on the day of the test? Is anxiety a bigger problem than fatigue? What are you doing for the anxiety? Have you tried to include USRDA levels of magnesium--maybe the glycinate form, GABA, B vitamins, maybe a small dose of lithium aspartate supplement if your personality can be somewhat intense? Doesn’t the TSH seem strangely high relative to the rather normal levels of the other thyroid hormones? TSH is a pituitary hormone. Essentially it is part of the brain’s regulation of thyroid ...

This message was posted on a different forum. Posted by M.G. Just an update... had 7 DIY FMT -1 donor, bottom up since mid March. Had dysbiosis/constipation from post Lyme treatment as well as candia and autoimmune hypothyroid aka hashimoto’s. Was on 98 mg naturethroid daily. My thyroid labs came back 4 weeks ago showing that I was overdosing at 98mg so I was lowered to 65mg. I was still having overdose reactions even at the lower level of medicine. So my doctor took me off thyroid meds all together as of 2 weeks ago. Happy to report no symptoms of hypothyroidism so far. ...

Are you crazy ? Why do people go for weird shhit ? What’s wrong with regular salt ?

Yes, iodine will make it worse, plus the pink Himalayan salt is loaded with iodine just 1 gram has 500mcg & we only need trace amounts of 100-150MCG a day. So these people promoting increased iodine intake is doing so to the detriment of many who don’t know the consequences. Always try to find the root cause of a situation first before supplementing. A particular mineral may be good for certain things but will do you no good if your not deficient in it but deficient in another. I always recommend micronutrient testing.I go by that when supplementing. Doesn’t test everything but tests a wh ...

You need to start taking Iodine, Lugol’s 5% solution. Thyroxine and other drugs don’t help the thyroid they mask symptoms. To check if you need Iodine, do a Basal temperature test, google it to find out the method. Another thing you want to check if your adrenals are healthy and not fatigued. Check out videos on YouTube about AF. I would not take any drugs or supplements during a water fast. If you have AF, please don’t fast. Good wishes. Archus   [End]

I am hypo from mold and take 3 grains of compounded per day. As much as I would love to stop taking it, to do so would be foolish. I would not taper off or stop unless you go hyper.

I have recently done three fasts: 1. 7 days 2. 19 days; and 3. 13 days I’m going to try another extended fast, starting on Sunday.

I know that armour brand of thyroid hormone is made from dessicated pig thyroid hormone, but is synthroid n levothyroxine also? I know that synthroid (levo its generic version) is synthetic thyroid hormone. Synthetic hormones are sometimes just a variation of a real hormone. I have never been able to find out much about it. Also, how would a pill properly effect the thyroid hormone from the stomach where it dissolves? How is the correct level expected to travel to the thyroid, what is the rest of the body doing with the unused thyroid hormone that didn’t make it to the thyroid.   [End]

yep, you hit the nail on the head - 12 months of hard work detoxing, amalgams out, lots of salt and I am left with a slight throb (a lot of the time barely there) in the cervical lymph nodes which I am putting down to toxicity in the lymph - it was full on throbbing and palps initially so I know I’m getting there. In my case it was definitely toxicity, too much released by the iodine for my downgraded immune system to cope with, and the mercury toxic symptoms that went on for a few months were horrific. Look forward to seeing your feedback from flechas.   [End]

Thats why I had the load testing and toxicity analysis done through Dr. Flechlas office - I did have bromide, fluoride and chloride toxicity in addition to iodine deficiency. I’m guessing when I talk to him about the results I’m going to find out that the toxicity is what was causing my thyroid to not work properly and created the hypo / autoimmune symptoms. All those have been starting to fade as I’m working to dump off toxicity. But its def. a rough road to recovery.   [End]

That’s the problem with hashimotos, it’s an autoimmune that attacks the thyroid, not a thyroid disease. My thyroid is working fine, has never swollen or had nodules, and TSH, T3, T4 RT3 etc etc are all within range so I am working on getting rid of the systemic inflammation with plenty of techniques and diet before I look at iodine again. I know taking anything over the RDA for me caused very very bad symptoms - but I think once the inflammation is under control I might (carefully) increase it again. It’s a hard road.   [End]

And no goiter. Just an out of whack thyroid. My thyroid was clean last time I had an ultrasound with no cracking or nodules. I had taken synthetic drugs for years to help balance the hypothyroidism - which essentially is hormone replacement therapy and actually helps save your thyroid because it shuts it down and the drugs take over bridging that gap. But I never felt good and always wanted a cure where I didn’t have to take pharma meds for the rest of my life.   [End]

Hi, Standard treatment for hypothyroidism involves daily use of the synthetic thyroid hormone levothyroxine (Levothroid, Synthroid, others). This oral medication restores adequate hormone levels, reversing the signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism. One to two weeks after starting treatment, you’ll notice that you’re feeling less fatigued. The medication also gradually lowers cholesterol levels elevated by the disease and may reverse any weight gain. Treatment with levothyroxine is usually lifelong, but because the dosage you need may change, your doctor is likely to check your TSH lev ...
