THYROID / IODINE TEST

Home Test for Iodine Deficiency 

Iodine deficiency is becoming widespread, so too are thyroid problems.

An easy way to find out if your iodine level is low is to get a tincture of iodine. Put 3 drops anywhere on the inner arm, rubbing them in with the dropper. If the patch fades within a few hours it means there is a deficiency. Alternatively, have a blood test.

Iodine is vital for the thyroid, so too is selenium, both of these nutrients are low in our diets. Tyrosine is vital for the thyroid as a combo of this and iodine make up the two thyroid hormones T3 and T4. The conversion needs selenium.

If an iodine deficiency is found, please take iodine drops.  I recommend Lugol's 5%.  Start off slowly, one drop at a time.  You have to find what suits you.  I personally take 4 drops per day and I do not have a thyroid problem.  I believe that because I have maintained my thyroid for years, that I do not have issues and do not require meds.   Selenium - 2000mcg  and Tyrosine 500mg per day is needed.  Stop the Thyroid Madness website - see References and their Facebook page are provides excellent information.


NOTE:  It is important to look after your thyroid.  Iodine, selenium, vitamin D3, vitamin C and tyrosine are vital. 


The Iodine Protocol is vital - see Stop The Thyroid Madness.
