Using Iodoral my TSH went from 1.9 to 3.14 uIU/mL in 10 weeks. This Tuesday I will find out what my TSH is after 6 weeks without Iodoral. Hopefully it will again be below 2. YMMV.

How much were you taking?

Any of you guys get your levels tested ?

Personally, I've had every color of eye except brown; gray blue, blue, blue-green, green and hazel. It had to do with my level of health and toxicity. Once my mother accused me of wearing colored contacts. Iridology can shed light on this, for those who are interested. I've never heard of someone with brown eyes going to light green before.

I am not commenting on taking lots of iodine as a supplement because I know nothing about that.

I can say that the Japanese do eat much more natural iodine in their food than Westerners do. I live where there are many Japanese people. I just came from a Japanese food court. It's because they eat more seaweed, seafood, and sea salt. Increased iodine intake is far from the only difference in their diet and lifestyle.

Personally I can only take a certain amount of sea salt/seafood. I eat a certain amount of that and then I feel I've had enough and I switch to regular salt, etc. That's just me.

It was a bit disappointing, I tested at 2.4 TSH. I was taking one tablet.

I thought it would be interesting to take photos before and after starting iodine supplementation. If you'd like to help, I could use survey responses to pairs of before-after questions: http://tolu.na/Q6tMAq

Here is an account of someone who put iodine drops in his eyes (God knows why), and he said this completely changed his eye color from brown to blue:

Well, survey's over. If anyone wants to look at the photos and judge for themselves whether there's a before-after difference, feel free: http://dl.dropbox.co...photographs.zip

(Sorry about the image quality: it's not a very good camera nor am I a very good photographer.)

Anyway, I think the results are a negative, nothing changed with my eyes: http://www.gwern.net...e-color-changes
