RE: Should everything deemed "unscientific" be rejected?
Now this is interesting. I went to the docs about the same thing around a year ago. No energy, but no weight gain and asked him about the thyroid. He did the checks via blood and found it to be borderline low.
More tests and the 2nd time it was more in range, case dismissed.
Yet I'm still knackered all the time. Someone at work suggested Iodine some time ago. I still relate it to the stuff that makes you jump out of your skin when applied to a cut.
Maybe.. I should give it a go.
I recommend it, but read the books first, as when you start taking the iodine you can get strong detox symptoms, and you'll need to know how to handle them.
I'd also avise you to get a thermometer and a finger pulse reader and take your pulse and temperature three times a day. If they are on the low side, it could well be an underactive thyroid.
This is a very common problem in the UK, in fact we're said to be the sixth most iodine-deficient country in the world, according to World Health Organisation stats. This is probably because we're one of the few countries that doesn't have a policy of iodising salt.
And once you become iodine-deficient it can take quite a lot of time to build your reserves back up again.
