I learned an iodine test from listening to Roex radio broadcast. Here's how it works. I bought a little bottle of iodine at Wal-Mart and painted a golf ball size spot on my stomach. If it is still there after 24 hours that means that my thyroid has enough iodine. However, if my body absorbs it all then my thyroid is lacking in iodine. When I do this test the iodine is usually gone in 24 hours. So I apply the iodine every day until it's still there after 24 hours. The way I understand it is that when the iodine is still there after 24 hours, then my thyriod has enough iodine in it. If you try this test and find that you are lacking in iodine there is several ways to address the issue. http://www.roex.com/ has "Thyroid Support" capsules. http://www.healthline.cc/ has what they call "Thyroid Complex". Or you can eat seaweed, etc.
Happy thyriod to all.
