Iodine and selenium testing in Uk- worth the fight?
Hi all, So recently I feel like I may actually be iodine deficient and because of hashimotos I have actively been avoiding it in supplements and my diet is prob low in it too. I always crave fish and seafood and wonder if this is more a biological craving for iodine possibly. I’ve also been supplementing

Update after vitamin B injections, feeling so much better
It's awesome how much better I feel. Last week I had loading dose of B1 (33mg) B6 (33mg) B12 (0.33 mg) injection. Three injections in 4 days. And now I feel fast improvement. Muscular fatigue is moderate, can climb up stairs without feeling exhausted. Appetite increased and digestion improved.

Hashimoto and Kelp
Hi there, I was listening to Dr Berg who said hashimotos patients should take iodine supplements. I have purchased 400 Kelp but reading further this may be detrimental to Hashi patients. I haven't been tested for iodine levels. I would appreciate your comments

The role of vitamin B -12 in Thyroid health
To encourage both to be at their best, special attention need to be paid to thyroid gland health and vitamin B-12 intake. A sluggish thyroid, or hypothyroidism may cause you to be deficient in vitamin B-12, and the resulting vitamin B-12 deficiency can further exacerbate the slow thyroid or negatively

Vitamin deficiency is becoming an epidemic in the USA and mimics a lot of other illness but doctors aren't telling you!
My husband and I felt the same way for many years until we were diagnosed with vitamin deficiency not by a doctor but a vegetarian nurse practitioner she saved our lives. Doctors tell people to cut back or stop eating red meat, dairy and eggs which rich in B 12 and eat plenty of fruits a veggies and

Formerly graves before RAI treatment turns hashimotos
I finally got a TSI antibodies test after getting the RAI treatment 8 years ago. I was hyperthyroid and my endo thought it was Graves. I dont believe I was ever given this test nor had a scan of my thyroid. I had stayed hyper until 3 years ago and then became “normal” for a year. 1 later (2 years ago
