If you are really concerned you can get your thyroid checked while you are on it. All though I'd get more than just TSH checked (most doctors ONLY check the TSH) because that one number isn't very reliable.

Yeah my hair loss was crappy, but with the DMSA its much better. I posted a new pic on one of the threads the other day.
COOL I AM GLAD You got better, I am seriously pissed that you lost your hair to begin with becuase of this toxing trash! The Kelp is use or Kombu or even Dulse is checked for metals and other contaminents so I don't feel too bad using it, maybe the feelings I got from the Kombu were from the Bromide detox as you said. I feel those add so many nutrients and so on to your diet they are way more beneficial than just Iodine alone, and since you got the same detox why not just stay with hte Kombu which is screened from www.seaveg.com or Dulse and roll with that? I mean that can't hurt, they have low contaminents and are screened for our safety with wide known uses right? I know Kelp can be bad is not screened, but the one I was using seemed to detox really well so why mess up a good thing because of detox symptoms birdlady? I read those cause alot less detox symptoms than the Iodine itself and are natural so they are safer if screened correct? Did you ever use Kelp or Kombu? If not you are missing out on alot IMO, so many minerals and other things in it than just the iodine, if it works I will keep you updated and let you know how I feel. Thanks alot Birdlady you are a huge help on here, peace and good luck to you (I will keep you updated). Salt loading which you recommened helped out ALOT! Thanks for that. I need to take some Magnesium, Zinc and Selenium now too, I am sleeping on two of those, and Vitamin C!!!!! Thanks for that suggestion as well.

This is what I use BTW Bex and Birdlady, check it out, they are tested!!!!!

In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.
