Dear Vanessa, I understand your dislike of doctors now, especially in the light of what we have all been through with toxic disease and being gaslit by them regards it for the most part. Most of us avoid doctors if we can, absolutely. That said the tests you had cover Thyroid function quite well. With normal TSH, Free T3, Free T4 and antibodies, it strongly suggests your thyroid is working normally. And there isnt evidence of conditions like Hasimoto's at this time. The key thing to separate is function versus structure. Blood tests check how the thyroid is working( hormones), whereas nodules are about what the thyroid physically looks like (a structural issue). So even a very full blood panel wouldn't tell us more about nodules. If there are concerns about nodules (whether new or the same ones from years ago), the appropriate next step is an ultrasound rather than more blood tests. But I do understand that would be a last resort for you. In terms of iodine it is only helpful if you have confirmed deficiencies. You need to know what your dealing with or it could potentially make matters worse. Thats good if magnifizyme is helping a bit. Take care, Chrissie | ||||||
Robert Scott bell 4/28/2026 7:58:42 AM MST | Hello Mel & everyone, Dr. David Brownstein is a big proponent of iodine for Thyroid, but I always add that Selenium is the critical mineral for full and appropriate utilization of iodine in all things thyroid. Homeopathic Iodum and Thyroidinum are typically indicated when there is thyroid dysfunction. Nodules are often calcifications present when minerals are imbalanced, such as with low potassium and copper. Zinc is critical in immune response and repair, but behaves badly when copper is not present to manage it, which can result in abnormal tissue growth. Thanks for helping me rock the health world!

Thanks Chrissie/Gwen for your responses. Yeah I will think about it. I so hate the modern day docs. I asked my doc if we could do the full thyroid panel and he said no, cos we don't need to. All we need is TSH. I did see that he did the free t3 and free t4 too, which is good. But I wanted the antibodies done too. These docs are just frustrating as hell. I did find a really good article on managing hashimoto's https://medium.com/nutrition-science-for-health/managing-hashimotos-naturally-how-serrapeptase-can-reduce-thyroid-inflammation-e61ac48ffdfe. Wonder if anyone has had luck with magnifizyme and thyroid. Personally I do think that it does help -- but what is everyone else's thoughts on this? | ||||||
