can iodoral be taken for hashimotos
153653
I specialize in thyroid disease and iodine deficiency. Every one of my patients with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis takes 12.5 mg of Iodoral with 200 micrograms of selenium daily. Hashimoto's is the number one cause of hypothyroidism in the US followed by iodine deficiency.

Absolutely not. Hasimoto's disease is an autoimmune disorder where your body's own immune system attacks the thyroid. It is not due to iodine deficiency. Increasing iodine intake increases the attack of your immune system on the thyroid, making the condition worse. Clinical studies have shown that restricting iodine intake can improve the symptoms of Hashimoto's disease. Also, hormone replacement therapy (synthyroid) is effective. Most importantly, see you physician for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

As a lay person I would not make a recommendation either way as to the use of Iodoral for hashimotos. I just use it as an added boost to my metabolism and it seems to work for me.

I have hashimotos and my 24 hour iodine urine test came back low in iodine. My doctor has me on a low dose daily because of breast and ovary pain. Most breast pain is due to low iodine levels.

I know it helps with the uptake of thyroid medication, but you could go to Dr. David Brownstein or Dr. Mercola's website and get information or go to a good natural path Dr. in your area.

When I started taking this product here was the instruction I was given: Take one a day for a week. Then take 2 a day (1 pill with each meal) in week two. Then 3 a day in week three (1 with each meal). You can increase each week until your needs are met. If, after taking a dose, you feel ANY pain or discomfort in the general cheat area, lower to the previous dose. As your iodine levels grow, your dose will lower over time. At the beginning, I reached a high dose of 9/day. This product helped me so much. The key is the pain or discomfort in the chest area; that's the sign, I was told, that your iodine intake is too high. I hope this helped.

Hmmm, J. Crow's site says for a vertical drop it's 6.25mg iodine for the 5% solution, and about half that for the 2% solution (you can google how much iodine in a drop of lugols and you'll end up there) . I am NO expert here, but I did the math for myself and basically arrived at the same amount this way: the bottle doesn't say, probably because it's not FDA approved. But if you WIKI Lugol's Iodine solution (which is what this is--J. Crow just sells this blend) you end up with a solution that has potassium iodide, iodine and triiodine. according to WIKI - again, check your own sources for accuracy, the 5% solution has 126.5 mg per ml of elemental iodine from all 3 types in solution (that's milligram, NOT microgram- Much stronger). If you go with the 'rule of thumb' of 20 drops in 1 ml, then you have 6.325mg per drop for the 5% solution. For the 2% solution, using a simple ratio, you end up with 2.53mg elemental iodine. since 1000 micrograms are in 1 mg, that's 2530 micrograms per drop for the 2% solution. so again, check your sources, and check my calculations. and anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here. this was all my math, it's not listed on the label. The J. Crow site variance would be expected and is most likely due to them knowing their exact dropper size for their bottles. :) -the quick answer? --- a LOT....lol.

According to label - 400mcg Iodineother ingredients: Alcohol (Demeter certified Biodynamic @ grape alcohol. My wife takes 6 drops with about 3/4 cup of water morning and late afternoon. I can tell the difference in her - more energy and brighter outlook on life. Even her friends have commented on how she seems more energized she looks and acts.

Hi, Danny. Only 2 ingredients, Potassium Iodide, and purified water. Works very well. You only need a minute amount of iodine each day for your thyroid to work better.

Optimox doesn't even carry Iodoral/sell Iodoral on their own website any longer without any explanation. Something shady is going on. I was able to buy a 180 count bottle from Lucky Vitamin for $37.99.

Research has shown 200 mcg of selenium has helped lower antibody levels in autoimmune hypothyroid patients. I've heard from dietitians anywhere from 2-4 of these nuts a day are the recommended amount for adults. Any more than 4 per day could be too much, which could affect how you sleep (that at least happened to one dietitian). In the presence of hypothyroidism it's important to make sure you have the right level of iodine if you are going to supplement with selenium/brazil nuts. Iodine can also be tricky. It's easy to get too much so make sure you talk with a dietitian or primary care provider who is trained in this type of stuff.

I don't know whether the sea salt contains iodine. It contains many good minerals from the sea which our body needs. I am hypothyroid, and I take Lugol's iodine, from J. Crow.

I would strongly doubt it... look into iodine materials and Japanes diet things they have done. Check Dr. Mark Sircus materials, too.

Optimax the company that makes this product ran into some issues, so the stock at various suppliers have dropped off. I just spoke with the office of Optimax and they stated that new iodoral will be sent out the end of this month. They also stated they have not changed the prices. This supplier is simply being naughty, price gouging and taking advantage of the situation. I truly hope no one supports them.

Thyrosoothe contains bugle weed (which has long been used for the treatment of overactive thyroid), lemon balm (also used for thyroid issues, plus it helps with the anxiety that sometime goes along with the condition), and motherwort (to calm heart palpitations). This product worked very well for me.

150 mcg is the standardized dose of this product. This is four drops to get 150mcg. This is the Us RDA for iodine. Please note that this RDA is absurdly low. A remedial dose for those experiencing hypothyroidism is 10 to 20 times that amount. Recommend taking this product with raw dessicated bovine thyroid and adrenal gland, avoid stimulants and stress and go to bed before 10:30pm. Healing takes 3 to 12 months

Yes. It is an excellent natural source of iodine. Much better than iodized salt.

I don't know, but I take this for hypothyroidism along with Guggilipid. After taking this and Guggilipid for over 2 months, my blood tests have been in the normal range. I feel much better than the horrible side effects from levithoraxin(spelling?) . You can take Ginko as an additional supplement but I find Ginko, which I've taken long before this, gives me a rapid heartbeat. For a easy to read supnopsis on Ginko read this, and or, do other reserch and find out if it is something you really need. http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-and-supplements/lifestyle-guide-11/supplement-guide-ginkgo-biloba
