Glucose loading cures everything?

@S-Holmes I can tell you that Dr. Peat never wanted me to use iodine. He was a convert to the Wolff-Chaikoff suppression effect.
I am not worried about cancer because I've seen how hundreds of people get rid of it in a month or two often (not always) with high dose THC suppositories. See CannabisHealthRadio.com. I have many many stories I've gathered on this too.
I took iodine for a few years, then found Dr Peat and stopped using it for at least a decade. Then I decided to take another look and found that the Wolff-Chaikov effect had been debunked, so I'm back on it again.

@S-Holmes far from clear. I would not say Peat was wrong.

Did you read the Optimox article? They were using radioactive iodine. Lugols and radioiodine are not the same.

Yes I did.
There are lots of other studies that say iodine supplementation is harmful. Today the keto bros have been relentlessly pushing iodine as a fad.
This was on .5mg per day — and iodine at this dose resulted in anti thyroid antibody activity. There are a number of similar studies.
They compared T4 with iodine only, to shrink a goiter. Iodine resulted in lymphocyte infiltration and antibody activity in the thyroid gland. I don’t think that’s a good thing.

At 6 months, markedly increased urinary values of iodine were found in patients receiving iodine (36 microg/24 h at baseline, 415 microg/24 h at 6 months) compared with those receiving T4 (47 microg/ 24 h at baseline, 165 microg/24 h at 6 months; P < 0.0001 compared with iodine group). T4 administration engendered a greater (P < 0.01) decrease in thyroid volume (from 32 ml to 17 ml, P < 0.0001) than did intake of iodine (3 3 ml to 21 ml. P < 0.005). High microsomal and thyroglobulin autoantibody titres were present in six of 31 patients (19%) receiving iodine, and iodine-induced hypo- and hyperthyroidism developed in four and two of them, respectively. Fine-needle biopsy revealed marked lymphocyte infiltration in all six. After withdrawal of iodine thyroid dysfunction remitted spontaneously and antibody titres and lymphocyte infiltration decreased markedly. Follow-up of these six patients for an additional 3 years showed normalisation of antibody titres in four of them.
Conclusion
Although nearly comparable results were obtained with both treatment regimens regarding thyroid size, partly reversible iodine-induced thyroid dysfunction and autoimmunity were observed among patients with endemic goitre. -
I never went deep into the literature, when Pro-iodine group produced two results:
1.) it worked after my TSH rode the rollercoaster.
2.) IT DIDN’T WORK AND IM STUCK (I don’t believe this I has to be permanent)
So, Thanks for the counter-counter argument.
I’ve been tempted several times to do the protocol — but I’m contented to stick with food sourced iodine

"Iodine is essential for normal thyroid function and the majority of individuals tolerate a wide range of dietary levels. However, a subset of individuals, on exposure to iodine, develop thyroid dysfunction."This is simply the typical age-old and to-be-expected observation from raising iodide supply without a concurrent raise in selenium. Thyroid hormone synthesis is highly oxidative and selenium is needed for its protective effects. Thyroid cells bursting open will surely cause autoantibodies as a reaction.
An aching thyroid gland is actually very easily and reliably reproducible when doing high-dose iodide and improves within days of supplying enough selenium if one had forgotten to preventively do so.I'm tempted to think that high-dose-iodide could match up very well and become much more tolerable with glucose loading.

100% agree. "Peating" for more than 10 years sans iodine did not seem to help my thyroid status. High dose glucose over a 4 month period, and 35 grams of iodine a day and my temp is still doing great even though I've now cut back on glucose. I still take 5 drops of Lugols a day and use povidone topically in problem areas. I also take 100 mcg of selenium daily...required with iodine supplementation.
