Dr. M
I have read that Iodoral (or simple Iodine) supplementation is frowned upon in someone who has tested for Thyroid anti-bodies. Leads me to questions….
1. why? why is this necessary nutrient frowned upon…why doesn’t the rule “what is good for you, is good for you” apply here.
2. what about a smaller dose, say that found in Kelp pills?
3. if taking Iodoral is good for someone with Thyroid issues and even for an older person, how else does one work on D1 enzyme if Anti-bodies are present?
I ask as my mother is on 30mg Armour, has tested postive for Thyroid antibodies. I am also on Armour and Iodoral did wonders for me, but I am hesistant to have her try it given the positive test for antibodies.
thank you.

I side with David Brownstein MD and Guy Abraham MD on this issue. They are the leading experts on the use of iodine in higher than US RDA doses. Guy Abraham developed Iodoral. From David’s experience, in testing patients before and after iodine therapy, the use of inorganic, nonradioactive iodine has not increased the incidence of autoimmune thyroid disorders.
Here is a great debate between Browntein/Abraham vs. Alan Gaby MD (who they believe is misinformed and iodo-phobic). The whole debate is worth reading:

What your opignion about Dr Abraham and Dr Gary on iodine ? A Rebuttal of Dr. Gaby’s is very interesting.
I’ve stopping after two weeks iodoral because a huge frontal headache make me sick.
After reading Dr Gaby’s article I find the same side effect on the article.
Why iodine increase headache, I don’t known

I side with Dr. Abraham and Dr. Brownstein on the issue of iodine.
Some people cannot take high iodine doses, however. For example, acne may be a problem, as would gastrointestinal problems or intractable yeast infections. This would limit for those people the amount of iodine they can use.
It is the same issue with other signal or nutrients. Some people get headaches when Vitamin A is used, for example. Some people can’t tolerate thyroid hormone.
There may be other issues causing the intolerance, which may need to be evaluated. This has to be considered on a patient by patient basis.
Yes, there are many people in this world who have gut yeast infection. I’m not sure, but iodine kill some pathogens in the gut.
Sometimes when you have a defect of detoxification system, you can have Herxeimer effect (Die-off). It can hit different people in different ways. Reactions include extreme fatigue, diarrhea, headaches, muscle/joint achiness or flu-like symptoms. Severity differs also from person to person, depending on the extent of infection.Yeast infection give many psychiatry symtoms because mycotoxins bind to hormonal receptors
