[QUOTE="Gianluca, post: 189331, member: 15469"] [USER=843]@Vince[/USER] thanks for the reminder, I wanted to post something here since Sunday. Following up with my question if Iodine effect Hormones receptor activity, according to Dr Brownstein yes, Iodine effect Thyroid receptor, and possibly sex hormones receptor as well. This could explain why some people, may need higher levels of floating Thyroid and Testosterone in the blood to be symptoms free. This could be, because when some toxic elements such as bromine, Chlorine, Fluoride and Perchloride, competes with Iodine, we have an overabundance of these elements instead of Iodine, therefore contributing to the malfunctioning of some hormone receptor along with PBCs or EDCs, optimizing Iodine would get rid of these elements from the body, perhaps not fully, but substantially. Attached below a study [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.optimox.com/iodine-study-2[/URL] a paragraph copied from the study: "Eskin and Ghent have observed a modulating role of I at levels of 0.1 mg/kg body weight/day in the response of mammary tissue to estrogens [URL='https://www.optimox.com/iodine-study-2#14'](14-16,19)[/URL]. We have some evidence of improved T3 receptor function in female patients receiving 12.5 mg I/day.

Clur [URL='https://www.optimox.com/iodine-study-2#61'](61) [/URL]has postulated that iodination of thyrosine residues in the hydrophobic portion of these receptors normalized their response to the corresponding hormones. Optimal intake of I in amounts 2 orders of magnitude greater than I levels needed for goiter control, may be required for iodination of these receptors.

I intake below optimal levels would result in clinical hypothyroidism in the presence of normal levels of thyroid hormones because of decreased T3 receptor function.
