I’m new and just found this thread. I am on day 7 and worked up to 3 drops as of yesterday. No issues other than some minor bloating. I’ve had hypothyroidism for 45 years and have been on levoxythyroxine all that time. Frankly since I started protocol 1000 I keep forgetting to take it every morning and don’t want to take it during my dosing period. I’m thinking of pausing my medication for the 21 days and see what happens. Any updates from this group on how you’re doing and whether you were able to get off medication? I am otherwise healthy and just doing this for detox. thanks for any responses!
Hypothyroidism is closely related to iodine deficiency but all Doctors ignore it because they can only make money by treating the symptoms. There may be some cases where a person needs something other than iodine but i bet it's the exception. In my experience MMS depletes iodine further so bear that in mind. There is a potential for it to make things worse, if your issues are caused by low iodine / selenium levels. I saw a forum post where someone claimed that 65% of levoxythyroxine is iodine. If that's true, the only reason why it's not 100% would be the inability to patent it and prescribe it.
Read the book 'Iodine Why You Need It' by David Brownstein.
