Iodine, anyone?
Researching Iodine supplementation. Theres a couple of fascinating books on the subject. Iodine is a very powerful element in regards to its effect on the human body. It seems like most of the people of the world are Iodine deficient Adding Iodine to salt, according to the books, does absolutely zilch

Iodine and Povidone - A Chemistry Lesson
Over the years, we have seen many mentions of povidone-iodine. This video is the first time I have ever come across a proper explanation as to why povidone-iodine is chosen! It then continues with its aim of extracting pure iodine from povidone-iodine. The video could be very boring if you are

Several symptoms pointing to kidney issue ?
Hi all, new to this forum :) I'm 50y old male thin body, I've noticed that after eating certain foods, my blood pressure starts rising. For instance I did eat roasted peanuts (no salt) 2oz/day for several weeks, blood pressure went from 110 to 145. Stopped eating them, in two weeks bp went back to 110

Low fT4, but midrange fT3. Feeling cold, brain fog.
Hi there, male, 64, fit, no problems besides this: for about 3 years I´m having symptoms like feeling cold, brain fog, and most things one would consider to be low thyroid function. I did a lot of blood tests in the last year. Most values are ok. Zinc, Vit B, Selen etc. has all been tested ok, too

for the collective wisdom please: Radio iodine ablation 13/12/19 21/11/23 Mono treatment T4 @ 175mcg TSH below range FT3 5.23 (3.5-6.8) FT4 16.8 (7.8-18) Doctor reduced dose to 150! Without consultation My 2 cents: TSH not relevant still only mid range FT3. So need combined T3/T4 treatment.

Stopped taking NDT thyroid
Hello, could you share your experiences if you tried stopping thyroid hormone replacement? I was on NDT for years, developed hyperthyroid symptoms +very low TSH (normal ft3 and ft4), had heart arrythmia and high blood pressure, lost a lot of hair. Taking NDT didn't help with my weight problems or other

Crippling stomach pain, etc. post CT scan, iodine contrast, etc., M.E,/MCAS reactions? I have been having really bad stomach pains, reflux, etc for some years now, but got worse since L/C, but especially since Celluitis 2 months ago and the awful Flucloxacillin x 2, 48 tabs in all. I had a C/T scan

Is it possible to get rid of excess iodine in my body?
hi all this might seem like a silly question but i going to ask it anyway. IS THERE SUCH A THING AS AN ANTIDOTE TO REMOVE EXCESS IODINE FROM THE BODY THAT IS STORED IN MY CELLS? The excess iodine is playing havoc with thyroid numbers. I have no thyroid and resent numbers were: TSH 11.9 FT4 12.0

Association between different water iodine exposures & thyroid cancer: A retrospective study of high water iodine areas in China 2009-20
There are many differences between China and the UK. Including other aspects of water quality/analysis, diet, etc. For example, distribution of selenium in China is very complicated with adjacent areas sometimes have very different selenium intake.Therefore, we simply cannot pick up this paper and apply

Iodine - no thyroid.
I had my thyroid removed in 2003 due to papillary cancer. I have struggled ever since finding the right dosage/supplements. I have just watched Dr Sarah Myhilll's thyroid video for the umpteenth time and have purchased some of her supplements even though some of them contain iodine. Any thoughts

sea moss
my 30 year old daughter had been treated for hypothyroidism for the last 8 years and takes 125 mcg Liothyronine. Recently a friend in Hong Kong where she lives as suggested sea moss supplement and she feels she has more energy and less brain fog. I’m concerned about the iodine in it but other components
