I wanted to post this so that people are aware of potential sensitivity to iodine supplements.
It is believed that both low level of thyroid (hypothyroidism) and high level of thyroid (hyperthyroidism) are possible causes of hair loss, more prominent in women.
In case of hypothyroidism, iodine supplement can be taken to bring the thyroid level to normal.
A lot of people think that hypothyroidism can be a cause of male pattern baldness and get on the bandwagon.
However, iodine supplements can lead into bigger problems, which I have experienced in the past.
Apparently, some people are very sensitive to thyroid supplement, and I am the prime example.
If these people with thyroid hypersensitivity end up taking iodine kelp or Lugol's iodide solution, their bodies become seriously messed up.
Last time I took iodine supplements, I could barely sleep, had anxiety issue and MORE HAIR FALL.
My hair was falling out everywhere as if the roots did not exist at the tip.
The symptoms subsided after 10 days of stopping iodine. Shedding reduced, but never stopped completely.
Before you begin iodine gimmick, please consult your physician and make the right decision.
If your body does not act right with iodine (sleep issue, constipation, anxiety, and of course shedding), I would strongly recommend stopping it IMMEDIATELY.
