extremely low iodine levels
I did the patch test and it was gone in matter of 4 hours and I was wondering what would be the best method of restoring my iodine levels. For people that don;t think iodine defeicency is possible. It can happen. During contest time i was eating tons of raw broccoli, spinach and other goitergen foods, taking gh, under alot of stress, tons of caffine ephedra, ect. I cut out all red meat, no diary (allergic to milk) and stopped my liver tabs 5-6 weeks out to become drier. Looking back, vitamin contained no iodine at all and with in a few weeks I started to notice constipation like crazy and I had plenty of fiber and greens going through me. In last 4-5 weeks i lost over 10lbs of muscle and lost 20 lbs all together. This is where i am assuming my iodine levels were starting to get depelted causing all the hypothyroid symptoms. Over the past 5 years I NEVER salt my food or add an other sodium to it. I eat what ever is there and if it is blend so be it. SO my question is this. How can I get my iodine levels up to par in a rapid way? I was thinking of iosols potassiumn iodine, but i was looking for a non toxic for because it can make me go hyper. Another reason I have suspicion of iodine deficency is that when I eat salmon I goto the bathroom like immdeiately after wards and this happens with no other food. Salmon is loaded in iodine and may be enough to trigger my thyroid production for an hour or so. Imput would be appreciated. PS can you tell me a site where I can get t-100 reasonable. It seems to be a very crucial supplement
