While some thyroid advocates will propose that taking high doses of iodine is helpful for everyone with Hashimoto’s, unfortunately, I have not found that to be the case for most.Īs a pharmacist, I am often reminded that “the only difference between a medicine and a poison is the dose.” This is a wise old quote from Paracelsus, who is credited as the father of modern toxicology. While I’ve discussed the dangers of high doses of iodine for Hashimoto’s in my books, I wanted to address the topic in an article and make sure that the conversation doesn’t turn into a debate about a single nutrient, as Hashimoto’s is a multi-factor and full body condition.


Iodine is a controversial topic with regard to thyroid health.
