På grensen av Hashimoto's ?

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.
