If you supplement with iodine, make sure you get your T3 and T4 levels checked.
I started down this road and royally screwed my thyroid. My doctor is very patient with me and let's me do shit like this under his care (without him condoning it) and in return i am always 100% honest with him. He just asks to run full blood work on me to make sure I'm not killing myself.
With the iodine I wasn't killing myself I don't think, but I felt like SHIT. My thyroid was several times higher than it should have been. Suffice it to say any perceived effects weren't worth it.
That being said, you do you people, just get some blood work every now and then.
Agreed 100%.
You need to make sure you do NOT have TPO or thyroid antibodies. If you have Hashimoto's then pouring extra iodine on top of that without treating the underlying cause of thyroid autoimmune disease will just kill the thyroid faster.
If you start doing over 1mg/d starting from zero, you need to ensure enough other minerals for enzymatic action to balance the thyroid iodinases. Most important ones are Se, Mg, Zn, Na , Fe, Ca and P. Selenium being perhaps the single most important.
Start slow, and go up slow, give body time to adjust.
Measure tissure saturation (blood, skin absorption test) regularly and when saturated , go to your maintenance dose.
Imho, the safest forms are seafood (esp. shrimps , mussels), purified sea water (e.g. Quinton) and standardised seaweed pills (Kelp, radioactivity free).
Hell, its proably not terrible to have some liquid of the stuff in case the nuclear bombs ever go off. The shelf life on the blue stuff is pretty long I guess.
But your right. I dont use table salt, I just dont find it as tasty as kosher salt. Maybe the difference is in my head. I know kosher salt/sea salt/pink salt as well have larger crystals that make a difference with your taste buds. I just think there might be some more nutrients in those salts than the really processed stuff.
I was worried my thyroid levels were off, but I dont really have any of those symptoms. Most of mine line up with low phosphorous or high calcium, since they work closely together they have pretty much the same symptoms.
Anyway, dumbass endo tested my thyroid function. It was fine. So I dont think iodine is a issue for me. Asshole is making me take vitamin d even though it was barely low like 2 years ago. I mean what are they going to do, give me a bone density scan before and after the treatment, rofl, im not worthy of such treatment.
Besides, its easy to get enough of it if you eat leafy green stuff.
I hate taking this vitamin d, id rather lay out in the sun for a few days every week, but Im not being left with any choice. Its gonna be a month or two before the uv index is high enough, and they arent going to do anything if I dont take the vitamin d. Like I said in another comment.
Chances are, ill be ok. And if im not, oh well, its canada. No one will be held responsible.
Id love for you to come here to the largest city on canadas east coast and go into a walk and ask for some blood tests just to "check up".
They would laugh at you and tell you to leave.
Fucking bonkers.
These are the same doctors who tried to claim that refrigerant cant cause irregular heartbeat or that I didnt have it. If I had trusted these people, I'd be dead.
Im not sure what is wrong with these people.
Might have already had hypERthyroidism… but yeah smart to keep an eye on those levels since everyone is different. My gf had the opposite results, I’ll type in another comment in hopes of everyone seeing it.
