Hello and welcome – This approach is absolutely NOT recommended by the GDATF.
Taking massive amounts of iodine will *temporarily* shut down the thyroid gland. (It’s kind of like flooding your car engine with too much gasoline). However, the thyroid function eventually recovers. At that point, you will still be hyperthyroid and you will still have Graves’ antibodies.
Unfortunately, there are currently no alternative treatment options for Graves’ disease that have been proven to be both safe *and* effective. For more information on the GDATF’s position on alternative treatment options, you can check out the “Treatment Options” thread in the announcements section of the forum.
Take care!
