I don’t intend to saturate my body with iodine, just supplement enough for optimal thyroid hormone synthesis, which may be none.
I think the experience stressed me out so much a lot of things became dysregulated and other hormone deficiencies developed keeping me in a stress hormone metabolism. I feel the best thyroid function now focusing on a low renal acid load, high alkaline mineral diet and aspirin to lower FFAs. I’ve noticed a lot of things are more potent in this state and much smaller amounts are needed to feel effects from thyroid and iodine.
Sorry, my choice of words was poor again. I wanted to ask how you will know when you've achieved your goal; do you plan to test thyroid function routinely or if there is some specific symptom you are trying to eliminate. It's not terribly important, I was just curious.
