Iodine complex

Many of us take Iodine in different forms.  See the research at breastcancerchoices.org.  They have some good research information about using Iodine.

anomdenet, did you do the iodine loading test prior to starting? is it ALWAYS recommended to do that first?

 thanks,

I am taking 50 mg of iodoral every day for about 5 weeks now.  It has been about a year now that I started my self guided learning curve on iodine and hypothyroidism.  Still trying to kick that fatigue to the curb, but at least now I feel like I know what the culprit is. 

I did not do the iodine loading test first.  All I did was the do it yourself test at home where you swab a 2" circle of the liquid iodine you get at the drug store and observe how long it stays there.  My skin sucks it up like a dry sponge.  It's not a foolproof test, but it's enough of an indicator in my mind that I'm iodine deficient.  Plus, my temperature tends to be around 97.4.  Low body temperature is another sign of hypothyroidism.  Iodine may not be sufficient to correct this condition, but since I haven't found a doctor who will even bring him or herself up to date on what a normal TSH reading is, I'm going it on my own.  I'll sink money into various supplements from the vitamin store for a while.  It seems to be a better investment at the moment than a visit to a doctor.  

Anomdenet, if we checked the domain registry of the web site you keep spamming, and then we checked the whois for your email address, would there be any similarity between the 2?
