Iodine effect on my Thyroid for purifying water.
by TobyH, Apr 21, 2007 12:00AM
Hi,
I have Hypopituitarism, which means my Thyroid gland is not getting the right hormones transmitted to it from the pituitary gland to produce the correct quantitiy of T's.
I am very much into outdoor activities and because of this sometimes I may need to purify water to drink. There are a number of ways of doing this. One is to use Iodine. I am aware that this can affect the Thyroid gland for people who have problems with this, but I would like to get some information as to how this could effect me with my specific condition.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
