If ensuring iodine levels, it appears important to ensure selenium levels and possibly have other antioxidants in your diet.

My question is, what form does the iodine supplementation take? That is extremely relevant to the discussion.

[ConservativeMind]

Zinc, iron, and a few other nutritional elements are wise with iodine.

lack of selenium causes hashimoto’s, not excess iodine. I take 25-50 mg per day of iodine and 200 mcg of selenium. No antibodies here.

Autoimmune disease runs in my family: Hashimoto’s Grave’s, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Lupus. I and my mother and sisters all have Hashimoto’s. I started on 200mcg of selenium per day about 4 years ago. It reduced my anti-thyroid antibodies from 1300 to around 400-600 within 6 months. I had suffered from almost debilitating inflammation and it reduced it to the point I can get around again.

if you’re in the midwest take selenium

the soils here are deficient, most people here have a deficiency of it and require supplementing

This has probably already been posted on FR but here’s an article discussing an association between selenium status and COVID-19.
