Pretty interesting

[SeasideSusie Remembering]

I wouldn't waste time on it, they're selling an iodine supplement.

I didn’t get into the woods about the iodine stuff actually didn’t look at that it was the check off sheet I was referring too, should have clarified.

More concerning than interesting as far as I'm concerned!

Not impressed!!I

It's all about plugging his supplement, Iodine Plus

Maybe I missed something but I see no ref to T3 ( he did briefly mention Armour)

Does he know conversion produces iodine?

Does he know T3 is the active thyroid hormone?

He shows little knowledge of thyroid disease and diagnosing or treating it...beyond questionable iodine supplementation

He provides a list of symptoms/ tick boxes to enable readers to "diagnose" by the number of boxes a person ticks....urgh!

It's not based in Australia as the web address suggests, he is trying to flog in Oz

Personally I would take a very wide berth of what appears to be a snake oil sales pitch!!

I am a seasoned cynic!

Just why would a site use thyroid-australia.com when in every other aspect of it is located in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA?

Does anyone think that 150 milligrams of iodine/iodide is a reasonable dose? It is a thousand times the established daily requirement that is most often quoted.

Quite!

[Batty1 in reply to helvella]

I should have clarified I was talking about the check off list and actually thats all I looked at. It was suggested for me to look at that check off list not iodine stuff... sorry!

[helvella Administrator Thyroid UK in reply to Batty1]

But the check list is expressly designed to tell you to buy their iodine!

[Batty1 in reply to helvella]

Is it? I did not see that, Im going to look again. Just looked again its real tiny print at the very bottom.
