It's a liver herb, and if there is radiation exposure, the liver must work extra hard to help the body manage the influx. It doesn't protect the body the same way that iodine does, but it will relieve the symptoms of radiation toxicity. Our thyroid glands don't know the difference between regular iodine (found in iodized salt, seafoods, and supplements) and radioactive iodide. Therefore, the thyroid gland will sequester any and all iodide circulating through the body. When you take iodide supplements, you flood the thyroid with the non-radioactive form. This makes it much harder for the radioactive form to bind and cause thyroid cancer or other thyroid problems. Drina,

What is your opinion about this, and about the possibility of iodine affecting thyroid balance? I would be interested, because I have been writing to friends about milk thistle and would want to know if I was "off". Thanks! Best wishes, Drina Brooke ps and many thanks for what you are doing! Love your proactivity and your obvious love for this work of human health, it's great! :-) Hello Dr Rowe
