Hi, I think I read this somewhere but not sure. My TSH levels came back high and I heard that the levels can spike when you start taking higher amounts of iodine. My normal average range has always been around 1.40 but now it is around 4.0. I also am borderline anemic. Can this be related, and do the TSH levels really typically jump when first starting iodine? I started taking higher doses about 2 weeks ago. I asked my doctor and she said the levels should drop if you're taking iodine, but I have seen some posts on this forum that they can temporarily spike?

This is a reply to # 1,798,206I found a posting about this very thing. Dr. Flechas said the elevation could last 6-12 months.

Re: Hashi's- Adequate iodine intake – the good far outweighs the bad RR by dsstreak 13 mon 526
This may explain the elevated TSH found resulting from Iodine supplementation. From iodine4health Flechas and orthoiodosupplementation in a primary care practice.
“Following orthoiodosupplementation, serum T4 and TSH levels usually go down and free T3 stays steady. I have seen TSH sometimes go up rather than down while T4 and free T3 did not change or may have gone up some. This does not mean that the patient was developing hypothyroidism but that the brain was stimulating the body to make more sodium Iodide symporters (NIS)…. While taking iodide, one may see an elevated TSH but we have to recognize that this is not a bad thing. TSH has many actions outside the thyroid that have been discovered…. Often a check of the patient’s T4, free T3 and TSH shows the T4 to go down, free T3 going down and TSH going up. Iodide is an essential nutrient that is absorbed by all cell lines. Its highest concentration is seen in the thyroid.”
So probably not unusual that the study above showed raised TSH. However, instead of seeing this as an indicator that iodine is causing hypo it appears to be a natural response to iodine in an attempt to stimulate production of more NIS symporters. Dr. Flechas reiterated to me over the phone that the raised TSH is transitory and usually lasts no longer than 6-12 monts.Reply FCK TinyMCE

Natural, Soothing, Progesterone Oil
Supplementation and Hormone Balancing Based on the research of Raymond Peat, Ph.D.
What if a woman who has a "dormant" multinodular goiter, and has had it for several years, starts taking high doses of iodine/iodide (Lugol) and her goiter starts growing again, what would you have to do in this case? Would she have to take dessicated thyroid or something else?
Obviously, along with Lugol, she needs to take selenium, vit C, magnesium, and probably copper as well.- Re: Just started Iodoral just thinking

This is a reply to # 1,798,622My experience is limited to simple goiter combined with hypothyroid symptoms and blood work. I didn't take desiccated thyroid to reduce my goiter. I took it to relieve the hypothyroid symptoms, and the goiter responded at the same time. The supplements you mention would be a minimum, as well as antioxidants to help relieve inflammation, zinc, vitamin D, B complex, and even iron if ferritin is low. Learn whether exposure to goitrogens is part of the problem. Avoid gluten vigorously. My habit is to follow the symptoms to try to understand what is happening so that I can supply what might be missing. I would advise the woman to be her own best detective.

This is a reply to # 1,798,650Well, you wrote in another thread that your goiter was getting bigger and only taking desiccated thyroid helped. So, I thought that Lugol might cause the same reaction in her and desiccated thyroid would have to be administered.
Yes, now I know that all other supplements are also necessary. Thanks for suggestions about the diet.
I don't think she would be her own detective as she doesn't know what she needs to take, not exactly an inquiring mind, you see...
It would be difficult for me to persuade her to start taking Lugol because there is a fear that goiter would start growing again. She was on Iodine and Iodide medication for some time many years ago without any success. Now I know that those dosages were too low but she thinks that her goiter grew bigger because of iodine. =/
How long had you have your goiter before you started treating it right, if you don't mind me asking?- Re: Just started Iodoral just thinking

This is a reply to # 1,798,666I had it about 22 months before the right therapy was started, and then it took 5 months to deflate.

This is a reply to # 1,798,206Yes, the TSH level will skyrocket. In one presentation, Dr. Brownstein joked to not check TSH with your endocrinologist for 6 months upon starting iodine. But if you do, also have your T3 and T4 levels checked. He's also had patients go above 20 for TSH. Apparently, the TSH increases in the presence of adequate Iodine to make symporters.

Well, you actually remembered one of the iodine docs talking about it. I've gotten so rusty on all that info that I pored over in the beginning, I'm lost without a search engine. Oooh, I know that piece of info is somewhere around here.... :)
