I recently heard about a supplement known as potassium Iodide. I read about where it was given to people who could have been exposed to radiation. Somehow it helps to purify your body of certain types of radiation and pollution. I gave it a shot just to see what it would do. I know you have to be careful in taking this supplement so I went lower than the maximum dose and I didn't take it for more than 3 days straight. It really helped alot! It made a world of difference! So much so, that many people are saying that I should have my thyroid checked to see if there is a problem there. Because after taking the Potassium Iodide my world is totally different! I sleep better and I am much more calm and relaxed and no even half as wired as I used to be. Overactive Thyroid is a problem in my family. My mother, my grandmother, Aunts and Uncles! Just about everyone has had a thyroid problem in my family. Potassium Iodide is part of the ingredients found in thyroid medication if I remember right.

Well, I wasn't really trying to treat it! I just heard that potassium Iodide is good for you and can help remove certain types of metls from your system. But it has seemed to help more than I thought it would!

ok your first problem is that you started treating yourself without having a definite diagnosis yet. first off have your thyroid hormone levels checked first. i would recommend a tsh and t4 level check first. after that, see an endocrinologist.

Potassium iodide is a good nutrient to thyroid gland. But you need medical advice.
