- Folks who are in the midst of the fields of exposure
may be helped by taking kelp or iodine tablets daily in an effort to protect
endocrine and immune function.
-
- Kelp and Iodine are controversial, but many holistic
physicians are using this type of treatment. Some researchers, however,
advise that kelp can contain fluoride, so it may be a 'Catch 22'. The
benefit may outweigh the risk is this situation.

- Thyroid testing is an important diagnostic tool. Sadly
most physicians do not order the correct set of tests to thoroughly evaluate
thyroid function. This panel should at least be - ultrasensitive TSH,
Free T3 and Free T4. One cannot accurately 'infer' the T3 level from TSH
and T4 as many doctors claim. If immune dis-orders such as lupus and others
are suspected then a reverse T3 is necessary (rT3).
-
- The current range for TSH, since 2003, is 0.3 - 3.2.
The optimal rage is 1.5 to 2. If the reading is high you tend to have
low thyroid, if opposite you tend to have hyperthyroid. Home kits for
thyroid evaluations are available through my office.
