I suppose I should clarify… Note the previous posts as well. Some of the time Iodine is used in large doses to suppress t3 and t4 and some of the doses recommended over the counter are quite high. Depends on the disorder and dose given. The flippant advice was given not knowing if mutinodular goiter was present or other pathology. Great discussion…
I agree with world changes, and the pathology seen inland (away from the oceans in non-iodized salt countries). It is not well know outside of the medical community that Iodine is used to SUPPRESS thyroid function prior to surgery and in some disorders. Of course a daily amount is necessary. However, it is absolutely used to depress thyroid function in some disorders. Iodine in pharmacologic doses inhibits the release of T3 and T4 – a little known but important fact. Thank you for the reply!
I say BS. You need way more then 120 mcg of iodine. A little salt gives you all of the salt you need? Do your research.
excellent!
I am tired of hearing the lady at the health food store tell everyone with a thyroid disorder to take her iodine supplement.
It is contraindicated in some disease processes.
