which has the potential to obstruct the health and function of the thyroid gland. To counteract this, the body must be given enough iodine. For many years it has been known that lack of iodine may lead to goiters, thyroid problems and potential development issues with children born lacking iodine. For that reason, iodine supplementation has occurred by adding it to salt (a poor form), with the goal of providing iodine to many through a simple means. This may not be enough for many individuals. Food sources of iodine include kelp, strawberries and yogurt. Supplementation can be done through vitamins as well as liquid forms of iodine. A common liquid form available is Lugol's solution. Typically, one to two drops of Lugol's solution are taken Abby's Magazine - Volume 5 Issue 2| Page 67 in water. Lugol's is also applied to the skin, which clinically has helped infections and has also been used to treat old scars and keloids. A tablet called Iodoral is also available which contains 12.5 mg of a combination of iodide and iodine. These two forms are both important to the body. Iodine supplementation has helped many who may have struggled from cysts, chronic infections, thick secretions in the lungs or perhaps had many symptoms of low thyroid but yet still had normal tests. Nonetheless, iodine supplementation should be done with a physician's help to guide the proper dosage. Too much iodine may be overstimulating to the thyroid hormone system. Signs of too much may include increased heart rate or anxiousness. This will be very rare for most, especially when dosed appropriately. Individuals who are allergic to dyes that include a radioactive form of iodine used in x-ray testing are not necessarily allergic to nutritional iodine supplementation. This is true because iodine is essential to life; without it we could not function.
