Here is some of what it says ...

Here's a quick $1 cure for cold hands and feet ... low energy ... and body weakness

If you've ever had any of these symptoms, you may have a low thyroid function (the medical term is hypothyroidism).

But taking thyroid supplements won't do a thing if you're deficient in iodine. You see, iodine is necessary for your thyroid to manufacture thyroxin, the thyroid hormone.

It’s simple. No iodine, no thyroid activity.

I’ve discovered a quick, essentially free test you can do right at home to check your iodine level.

ACTION: Just take a Q-tip and paint an area about the size of a silver dollar with two percent tincture of iodine (which you can get at any drugstore). Paint it on your thigh or tummy.

If your iodine level is normal, the yellowish stain will disappear after 24 hours.

But if the stain disappears in less than 24 hours, it means your body is deficient in iodine and has thirstily sucked it up.

If the iodine keeps disappearing in less than 24 hours, keep applying it, every 24 hours at different sites, until the stain lasts 24 hours.

You’ve done two important things: 1. Measured your iodine level and 2. Treated your hypothyroidism.

Two more points: If you prefer not to paint your body with iodine, you can eat a lot of iodine-packed foods, like beef, liver, turkey, kelp (the highest known concentration of any food), asparagus, whit onions, and broccoli. Then take the iodine test every three to six months.

And if you’re currently taking a thyroid supplement, you must immediately cut back on the dosage if you’re taking iodine. In fact, you may be able to discontinue it all together.

For one lady (leaving out name here) this simple, inexpensive cure has done wonders. She had all the classic symptoms of hypothyroidism; cold limbs, lack of energy and body weakness. But for her, iodine was a “miracle” – restoring her health and completely eliminating her symptoms.

Painted one of my thighs this evening. My yellow circle is fading, rapidly! Hmmm ... I am hoping that this may be my "miracle" too

Did you use this iodine method of trying to see if you were deficient. Looking for input here ... for this is all new to me.

I did the iodine painting at 5:00 yest afternoon. By 10:00 last night it was all gone. Did it again last night. It was gone this morning. Just applied some more. I was hoping this would help solve my problem without having to spend lots of $ on doctors visit. $ is tight right now and insurance doesn't help much!

If your body is taking up the iodine quickly, then you may well benefit from the Iodine and it is DEFINITELY worth trying. I just wanted to make it clear that Iodine deficiency is not the only cause of hypo and that Iodine can make it worse for some people.
