How to calculate your iodine intake for thyroid disease
There are 3 basic focus to figure out how much iodine you're taking into your system on a daily basis-
1) Your medications- Natural desiccated thyroid ( NDT) a 1 grain dose of nature thyroid a 65 mg tablet has 130 mcg of iodine.
T4- 100 mcg of synthyroid or levoxyl with a medication that has 65 % potency will have 65 mcg of iodine.
2) Your supplements- Read all your labels, and take into account the amount of iodine you've in terms of micro-grams. If you see them in milligrams, please make sure to convert.
3) Your diet- refer to the earlier item to know how much each food contains iodine.
Iodine And Thyroid
Iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function. It is well established that the Iodine content of the thyroid gland is dependent upon the Iodine available in the food and water intake of the individual.
If the Iodine intake is low, the gland is deprived of the element it needs to do its work. If you are having problems with your thyroid, contact your healthcare professional. They can provide thyroid function tests which can identify the cause of your problem.
How to do iodine patch test
First, you need to acquire a solution or tincture of iodine.
Make sure the solution is coloured orange and not clear.
Detoxadine will work for this test just fine.
Second, paint a 3x3 " square with the iodine on preferably in your abdomen, inner thigh or the inner portion of your forearm, or upper-arm.
Do this in the morning and allow it to dry.
Throughout the day, check the colour of the patch.
If it is still there after 12 hours, then your results are normal.
If the patch disappears, then it may indicate that your body in some way is deficient.
Be sure to use an iodine solution that is meant to be applicable to the skin.
Also remember that as a home test, this is not something you can make a guaranteed diagnosis from.
However, many recent studies have shown that the fast absorption of iodine from the body may indicate deficiency or adequacy of iodine.
The Dr. recommends, a more intense diagnosis through a natural health practitioner, through an iodine loading test, or blood work.
