The ABC of Disease book by Philip Day
Has anyone read the above book and especially his section on thyroid disease? He recommends, for hypo, taking Lugo's Iodine (self medicating before having to resort to thyroxine) - has anyone tried this? His advice on diet & supplements is also very helpful. Interestingly, he refers to the book called

Iodine Content of Celtic Sea Salt
We see many people mentioning that they get iodine from Celtic Sea Salt. I don't dispute that it does contain some iodine. But the amount might be rather less than we tend to imagine. I went to one company's web site (Selina) and checked on their plain Celtic Sea Salt. [i]Q. Does Celtic Sea Salt®

Iodine in end stage Hashimoto´s?
I had a thyroid ultrasound a couple of weeks ago which showed a "completely atrophied thyroid gland" according to the radiologist´s report. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 1999 based on very high anti-TPO and anti-thyroglobulin levels, but both have been in range for the last couple of years which

OLD on blood results
OLD does indeed mean old. The blood sample needs to go to the lab the same day for some tests including Folate Potassium chloride and sodium. My bloods were taken in the afternoon so we’re sent to the lab the next day. A lesson that bloods should be taken early morning. I shall have them done again

SSRI toxicity on thyroid ?
I've read that SSRIs contain halogen atoms that can substitute for Iodine (itself an halogen), making thyroid hormones inefficient. Will it show on the biology (normal T3 and T4 and higher TSH because it will not slow TSH secretion) ? I can't find anything online...

Which Thytoid test is best?
Hello all. I have hypothyroidism after having Radio iodine treatment for Graves several years ago. Levo (irrespective of quantities) hasn't worked for me. I was prescribed Armour two years ago and it was a miracle drug for me but then my health board refused to keep prescribing. I have tried Thai Thiroid

Hashimotos disease?
Hi all, my mum got these results & I was wondering why she would have such high antibodies but thyroid levels in range? Does this mean she has hashimotos? She's not on any medication. I myself have graves disease but now hypo after RAI treatment. Thanks.

iodine deficiency and hashimoto endocrine cancer
I have hashimoto and iodine deficiency. I developed diarrhea and pain in my throat and chest when eating. My 24hr urine test 5hydroxy HIAA was positive. This can indicate neuroendocrine carcinoma. I am trying to find answer to the question whether iodine deficiency contributes to many diseases including

Those on Armour thyroid. What’s your dose?
I was on 60 (1 grain) for a number of months but have had lingering hypo symptoms and can’t lose a pound despite going gluten and dairy free. I just moved up to 2 grains and so far, no change. Thoughts? My iodine is low, ferritin is low in range, vitamin d is low in range. T3 and free t3 were low in

TSH 5.3
Hi I`ve just received my routine thyroid blood result TSH 5.3. (range 0.53-3.50). Because of COVID I wasn`t able to have the blood drawn early morning but instead at 2.30 pm, so I don`t know if this makes much of a difference? I was originally hyperthyroid, had RAI and have been ok for 6 years with

Ablation review + thyroid review......
This last few days have been a bit busy with telephone reviews so, for those interested, here is an account of progress. In January 2020, I had Radioactive Iodine treatment (RAI) for an overactive thyroid. Latest blood tests indicate that with the exception of TSH level, T3 and T4 levels reached normal

Failed Radioiodine
Has anyone had RAI and have it fail? I had my treatment on the 24th Sept. Bloods 3 weeks later were normal, however my heart rate has rocketed in the past few days. My resting is usually mid-high 50's, now it's hovering around 100 and I'm having to use propanolol for the first time in months. Just wanted

I’ve now been on Levo since April following RAI in January. First off I want to say thank you to all those generous people who have offered information and assurance. I’m finally getting to follow your advice regarding early morning blood tests, when I mentioned what I was doing to the endo specialist

Iodine and thyroid function
My good friend has an iodine deficiency along with an under active thyroid. She has been taking doses of iodine daily. The last week she has been increasingly fatigued, some “brain fog”, weight gain, even affected her eye sight. Is this something that is normal? Is it safe for her to take the iodine
