Iodoral has extremely high levels of iodine which you should never take. Megadosing iodine protocols utilize selenium and myo-inositol to prevent this thyroiditis problem. Iodine is not toxic to the thyroid except in excessive quantities and when taken in such quantities need to be taken with selenium and myo-inositol. But personally I not recommend that anyways. Normal iodine intakes of around 150 mcg is not going to cause these reactions.Very interesting thank you.
Even though Dr. Peat warns against iodine as toxic to the thyroid? At one point on my journey i was put on iodoral and ended up with thyroiditis- my heart was literally leaping out of my chest- so a little scared to try iodine. Do you have any insight on this conflict?
I eat oysters and liver regularly so would think i am getting a good amount of zinc. those should cover my copper too as well as shrimp which i eat as well.
The citrus thing wow- i do drink a lot of OJ per Peat principles. i wonder what Dr. Peat would say about that since he is such a proponent of OJ. It would seem he would not recommend it so empathically and amply if he thought it would trigger mast cells? im open to all at this point but other than this one issue which is severe, I dont want to sacrifice my endocrine and hormone balance which are pretty remarkable- hormone levels on blood work just came back like someone 25 years old so there is good too.

Clinical evidences have highlighted the efficacy of myo-inositol and selenium in the treatment of autoimmune thyroiditis. Aim of this study was to further analyze the role of myo-inositol plus selenium (Myo-Ins-Se) in restoring a normal thyroid function of Hashimoto's patients with subclinical hypothyroidism. Eighty-six patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis having thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels between 3 and 6 mIU/L, elevated serum antithyroid peroxidase (TPOAb) and/or antithyroglobulin (TgAb), and normal free thyroxine (fT4) and free triiodothyronine (fT3) levels were enrolled in the study: one hyperthyroid subject with TSH about 0.14 μU/ml was included in this trial as a single case. Patients were assigned to receive Myo-Ins-Se. TSH, TPOAb, and TgAb levels were significantly decreased in patients treated with combined Myo-Ins-Se after 6 months of treatment. In addition, a significant fT3 and fT4 increase, along with an amelioration of their quality of life, was observed. Remarkably, TSH values of the hyperthyroid patient increased from 0.14 μU/ml up to 1.02 μU/ml, showing a complete restoration of TSH values at a normal range. In conclusion, the administration of Myo-Ins-Se is significantly effective in decreasing TSH, TPOAb, and TgAb levels, as well as enhancing thyroid hormones and personal wellbeing, therefore restoring euthyroidism in patients diagnosed with autoimmune thyroiditis."
Not everyone has mast cell issues. Some people consume citrus no problem. But if you are one of those who do, citrus is one of the worst offenders especially if you consume tons of it all day. Its like giving yourself regular doses of mast cell activators all day long. So any environmental trigger is amplified because OJ is already stimulating the mast cells constantly. You don't need to consume citrus to be healthy. There are non-citrus fruits that are not mast cell activators and cause much less histamine reactions or none at all.
I would try the conservative approach of trying just no citrus for a short time. You may not need anything else but if so you can experiment with appropriate doses of iodine, 150 mcg (not milligrams) in the morning.
This link has a list of fruits that are more tolerable that you can try instead:
