Thyroid Problems in Lyme Patients
by PlateletGal, Mar 25, 2009 11:46AM
We've had a great discussion in the complementary medicine forum about thyroid and iodine deficiency. Since Dr. Jernigan is a lyme expert, I thought I would share these excerpts from his book about iodine. And below that is a MedHelp link to our discussion about iodine and testimonials from MedHelp members (myself included) who have had success with iodine supplementation.

Some excerpts from "Beating Lyme Disease" by David A. Jernigan, Ph.D. :
"According to a study by the CDC the number of Americans with low iodine has quadrupled in the last 25 years". * (source below)
"Dr. Bernard Jenson, D.C., Ph.D., found that the iodized table salt, which is superheated so that it can pour more easily, is a poor form of iodine for the body."
* Iodine Nutrition in the United States. Trends and Public Health Implications: Iodine Excretion Data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys I and III --- The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism

I read a few months back about how many of us have low iodine. I make sure my multi has iodine in it now.
