Hi Dr. Ruscio –
In a podcast not long ago you implied urine testing for iodine
sufficiency/deficiency is not accurate – you did not name names
but I wondered if you were referring to Dr. Flechas and his FFP
lab? You also did not agree with the assertion that iodine deficiency
is widespread in the USA.
I appreciated your explanation of why high dose iodine could be
detrimental and should be used selectively.
Do you have any references supporting what you insinuate (ie: that
urine iodine testing is not accurate, that iodine deficiency is not
widespread in the USA)?
Are there methods to determine iodine status (replete/deficient)
which are accurate?
I am not a “slappy” for Dr. Flechas – I do want to know the truth!
Hi Anne,
I think you are referring to the iodine skin patch test. A 24 urine test is very accurate for iodine. Correct, iodine deficiency is not widespread as any search in a government database will reveal. We discussed methods of testing and treatment in the 3 part podcast series on iodine, try searching iodine in the search box – there are several references on these transcript pages. I will also be putting out more info on iodine after my book releases. Hope this helps!
