ABRAHAM
The Safe and Effective Implementation of Orthoiodosupplementation In Medical PracticeAbraham, GE The Original Internist, 11:17-36, 2004
“In several communities worldwide, an increased incidence of chronic autoimmune thyroiditis was reported following implementation of iodization of sodium chloride…. It is of interest to note that prior to iodization of salt, autoimmune thyroiditis was almost non-existent in the US, although Lugol solution and potassium iodide were used extensively in medical practice in amounts two orders of magnitude greater than the average daily amount ingested from iodized salt. This suggests that inadequate iodine intake aggravated by goitrogens, not excess iodide, was the cause of this condition. To be discussed later, autoimmune thyroiditis cannot be induced by inorganic iodide in laboratory animals unless combined with goitrogens, therefore inducing iodine deficiency.”
"Orthoiodosupplementation, combined with magnesium intake between 800-1200 mg/day,... should reverse autoimmune thyroiditis. This nutritional approach is also effective in Graves' autoimmune thyroiditis." |
