Interesting information of Iodine usage and cautions;
Too much iodine for too long can suppress thyroid function. Many of the uses described for SSKI in the accompanying article are short-term, from a few days or less to a week or two. If SSKI is then stopped, there’s almost no chance of significant thyroid suppression. However, if SSKI is to be used for two to three weeks or longer, and especially if it’s to be used continuously (for example, COPD or cholesterol-related atherosclerosis) monitoring thyroid function is very important.

Fortunately, in my experience with over a thousand individuals, internal use of than nine drops of SSKI daily has or less has very rarely resulted in thyroid suppression. On those very few occasions, discontinuance has resulted in prompt recovery. So far, I’ve never seen thyroid suppression result from “topical” (skin surface) use of SSKI.
A final “safety” note: Dr. Kunin cautions (and I agree) that if you use SSKI or other iodine “long-term”, make sure your diet contains plenty of essential fatty acids (both omega-3 and omega-6) as well as the sulfur-containing amino acids methionine and cysteine. If you eat animal protein daily, that’s usually sufficient as a source of these two amino acids, but if you’re vegetarian (or close) and using “long term” SSKI or other iodine, then take 300-500 milligrams of each daily.

So this is a little different from the Nascent Iodine, but I would take the same precautions. If you are taking it orally, and plan on going long term, cycle it, also good idea with the omega 3. Most people get tons of omega 6s in their diet, but a good omega 3 fish oil is a good idea for anyone. If you are a meat eater, you are getting plenty of sulfur-containing amino acids methionine and cysteine. However if you are a vegetarian, MSM is a great source of sulfur and is cheaply obtained at a health-food store or at nutrabio.com.
Most specifically for us, he notes that he has NEVER seen thyroid suppression from topical application (on the skin), so that is very good news.
