Susan – You might want to work with a naturopath or nutritionist — or one of these “iodine docs” — if you are not already.

They can do tests to see what your levels are. I had my iodine levels tested by Dr. Jorges Flechas. We did a urine test (long-distance — they sent me the kit) and then he did a phone consultation with me to prescribe how much Iodoral I should take.

Here is Dr. Flechas’ website: http://cypress.he.net/~bigmacnc/drflechas/index.htm

I think Janet Lang is accepting patients as well. Last time I checked, Dr. Brownstein was not. Google them and you can find out.

i’m wondering if it’s ok to start the iodoral at the same time as treating adrenal fatigue. i’ve been taking herbs/glandulars for the adrenal fatigue for a number of months now, but still have many symptoms that could be low adrenal or thyroid-low body temp, fatigue, low blood pressure. i just ordered isocort and am wondering if i could take the iodoral with it.
any suggestions? thanks susan

Hello Anne Marie,

Curious about what percentage, how many drops of iodine to start an 11 year old girl on… or would Iodoral be better?

Hi Ann Marie,

I just got J.Crow’s iodine. I didn’t get information with it so I wanted to ask how much you would recommend my family take.

These are the ingredients: Distilled water 94% Potassium iodide 4% Iodine 2%.

I have a 1 year old, 3.5 year old and then there’s my husband and me.

Thank you!

Fluoride is in drinking water unless you filter it out. And you have to use reverse osmosis or distillation to get it out — regular filtering doesn’t work. Not sure if you have fluoride in your water in Australia, though.

Dr. Flechas might work w/ you. Depends on how to order the tests… Email his office and ask. Perhaps he can recommend someone for you who is closer.
