Question: What’s your opinion about seaweed? Is it a good idea to take chlorella or spirulina to cleanse your body if you suffer from Hashi? Because I have read that you mustn’t consume any iodine if you have Hashimoto’s because it can, even more, damage your thyroid.
Spirulina and chlorella have immune stimulating properties and can worsen autoimmunity and even cause new onset autoimmunity. Additionally, the iodine is problematic and can cause further thyroid damage. So I am not comfortable recommending them. Instead, for cleansing, you can do green juicing (avoiding cruciferous vegetables)…
