Does Iodum work well to help cure the autoimmune condition, grave's disease - hyperthyroidism?

Question

My brother is taking a low dose of an antithyroid medication, which has helped minimize the hyper-symptoms, but his TSH levels are almost non-existant. Anyone use Iodum successfully? Any side affects? This remedy was prescribed by an homepathic professional.

Answer 1

Here is another thought.

Many autoimmune health problems are or can be made worse or better by diet.

Here are a few pub med studies on just selenium.

Rather than supplementing, just eat a healthy diet. More importantly, avoid toxins in foods. Major link with them and autoimmune disease.

And eat a diet that will boost the intracellular glutathione.

The second below shows the danger of too much selenium.

Better to get it through 2 Brazil nuts a day. Can't overdose on Brazil nuts as easily.  Each nut has 100 mcg. Prostate Cancer and burn patients both get 200 mcg per day.

Answer 2

There are alot of medicines in homeopathy for hyperthyroidism

Iodum is one of them

Others are Spongia tosta, Fucus,
