Iodine and Hypothyroidism Controversy

Are you concerned about iodine exacerbating your hashimotos?
Watch this video so you can understand the truth about iodine and hashimotos.

Veldig godt forklart.
Glem jod.
Tenk heller selen (og salt, og C-vitamin, og magnesium).

Antistoffene kan jo øke fordi at du ikke har nok/riktige co-faktorer til å håndtere jod'en også... ? Mener at jeg fant noen artikler engang i verden som tilsa at f.eks uten nok selen så ville jod kunne gi antistofføkning. Sjekk boka til Brownstein. Mener det blant annet var omtalt der.

Question:
Can iodine supplementation cause a flare of Hashimoto's or Graves' disease?

Answer:
Yes. However, if iodine is given as part of a comprehensive holistic treatment program, my clinical experience has shown this to be a very rare occurence. It is important to provide the proper nutrients to slow down the oxidative damage that occurs in and by autoimmune thyroid illness (covered in Chapter 7-9).

Unrefined salt, Vitamin C, selenium, and magnesium supplementation all help to minimize a flare. These nutrients can be taken for 2-4 weeks before beginning iodine therapy to minimize the risk of precipitating a flare.
