Re: New to iodine supplements
Your symptoms prove that you are severely
Iodine deficient, and your
Iodine dosages are not nearly enough. Kelp supplements are not recommended because they are toxic from sea pollution.
Iodine Deficiency Symptoms:

You need to titrate up to 100mg of
Iodine daily per the Dr. Brownstein Iodine Protocol, because you are suffering from iodine deficiency disease.
These are the supplements you need.

The problems with sea foods:
Reasons why Seafood is not recommended
- - - Seafood contaminated with radiation Pacific Ocean from Japan
- - - Seafish contaminated with Mercury
- - - Seafish contaminated with Arsenic
- - - Kelp contaminated with Arsenic & Mercury. Contamination with heavy metals can be a serious problem with sea vegetation. Recently, 8 of 9 herbal kelp supplements from a health food store were found to have excessive levels of arsenic in them (74) . For this reason, and because only
Iodide is present, this is not a preferred source of this idine.
- - - Seaweed is no longer a healthy food
Lugols Iodine is pure and has the correct ratio of iodine & iodide.

STTM says this about iodine:

Your Job #1 is to get your body temp back to normal. Regardless of what your doctors stupid testing numbers say, by definition if your body temp is low, you ARE hypothyroid.Period. You may need to take Natural Dessicated Thyroid Hormone (none other) to get your body temp back to normal while iodine slowly recovers your thyroid function. Learn to chart your body temp, then stick the chart under your Docs nose and demand action.

This is the MAIN testing number to worry about. The only thing that can CURE your thyroid is iodine. Your thyroid needs iodine, not drugs. Drugs are just a band aid.
