I will disregard your previous post as it is a bit too condescending and argumentative for my tastes. For info, I view iodide, specifically, as a medicine, not a nutritional supplement.
My metabolism is just fine, thank you. All markers are pretty much ideal.
I started balding 20 years ago, well before I started medicating with iodide. If anything, the hair loss stopped once I halted the progression of the periodontal disease I have suffered from since the hair loss began all those years ago.
If you read Ray's article I posted above, you will probably understand why and how iodide works for such conditions. You may also want to search my post history, I have gone over this numerous times in the past. In short, iodide is beneficial with any chronic infection, mitigating host tissue destruction by hypochlorous acid, as iodide, when enough is present in the body, substitutes for chloride in the hypohalous acids produced by MPO (myeloperoxidase) to fight infections. What does this mean, in practice? In the case of periodontal disease, for example, it means that you stop losing teeth.
FWIW, where I live, the water is not flouridated, and I stopped drinking tap water a decade ago. I have never had a single negative effect, including "detox", from iodide.
Its possible Ray approves the iodide for short term usage and as a treatment for certain diseases, but he also has in numerous instances highly discouraged it, and mentioned it has anti thyroid effects even as doses as low as 300mcg or more. He believes it damages the thyroid and there are many mainstream doctors who also believe it causes inflammation of the thyroid gland. Generally Peat doesn't like things that damage the thyroid, but in certain instances the benefits could outweigh the negatives. Ray said he gets an email from someone every few months who damaged their thyroid gland after using iodine. I would say other than PUFA and iron, iodine is the next nutrient that Ray strongly speaks out against. He also speaks out against other nutrients but that is mainly in their supplemental forms due to the imbalances they cause or the impurities in the supplements.
