You may want to look at lack of iodine as a root cause of menopause and many thyroid issues. Most women are insufficient and many extremely deficient. I have four female friends lives made hell by allopathic MD's. If you don't fix the thyroid operation it is just a band aide. Other cofactors are insufficient selenium and B vitamins. Suggest books by Dr David Brownstein and Dr Jerry Tennant. Iodine is stored in the thyroid, salivary glands, breasts, pancreas, ovaries and prostate. Iodine opens the door for secretion, if the door doesn't open you have a blockage, then lack of oxygen to cells then boom. A young lady friend of mine was weight lifter. She was losing hair and didn't sweat. I pointed her in the proper direction. Find an iodine proficient practitioner.
We've been using high dose iodine for over a year at this point in my practice. I interviewed Dr. Brownstein on the topic. We are also aware of a variety of other nutrients that play a role in menopause, like boron, among others.
I hear from so many women about how horrible menopause is. My only 'symptom' so far is irregular periods. Menopause symptoms may be common but I don't think they are normal.
This is an excellent article and sooo interesting but could you please just check over the dot point section describing deficiencies and excesses. It's a bit confused and I really want to both refer to it myself and pass it on to others. Many thanks.
