Step 1: Go to the pharmacy and purchase Tincture of Iodine--the original, orange-colored solution, not the clear solution.

Step 2: Before going to bed, use the painting stick in the bottle of iodine to paint a 3 inch by 3 inch square patch of iodine onto the underside of the forearm or on the inner thigh or abdomen.

Step 3: In the morning, upon rising, note the color and check off a follows:

	No color left at all.
	Grayish colored
	Pale Yellow
	Bright yellow-orange (just like when you applied it the night before)

If there is NO color remaining on your skin, the test is complete. You are iodine deficient.

Check with your naturopath to get the proper supplements for you. This is a process and it will have to be a committed lifestyle permanent shift if you want to stay of thyroid medication. You can't toy around with this, especially if you have goiter (an enlarged thyroid gland) or are borderline hyper or hypothyroid. You can't just take supplements for a month or two, think you are doing well and that you won't be needing them anymore. This can be life-threatening.

You may need to start out with a higher dose and a stronger product and slowly work down to a maintenance type of product over a period of several months. This is pretty difficult to do yourself unless you listen to your body and what it is telling you carefully, have lots of schooling, and know your physiology and biochemistry well.

You should work with someone so that you won't cause damage to your body. This is a hormonal thing and it can be rather tricky, especially if you are taking other medications and supplements. It is also an emotional thing (fifth chakra issues are one of the core causes that got you there to begin with.) You will have to be committed to speaking your truth and saying what you feel if you are to overcome this. That's hard!

If there is ANY color remaining on your skin, go to step 4:

Step 4: For the remainder of the day; check the patch every few hours. Note the time that all the color disappears. If the color still is remaining at bedtime, you may consider the test completed (you are not deficient in iodine). The color will slowly fade over the next few days and you can scrub it during your next shower. Check the appropriate box:

	Color was gone by noon.
	Color was gone by 4:00 p.m.
	Color was gone by 8:00 p.m.
	Color was gone by bed time.
	Some color still remains.

Symptom Survey:

This form lists most every symptom you may have experienced or are experiencing at present. It groups them into body systems. The client fills out the form and rates the symptoms accordingly. They then take the symptom survey to their doctor to have it evaluated.

If you make an appointment with me to be evaluated, I'd like you to fill out the survey and mail it to me before your appointment. It's a great memory jogger and it's fun for the both of us to track your progress. It can also give me more pieces to the puzzle of your health program. People have called me nit-picky. Darn tootin'.  I'd want a doctor like that to evaluate and help me, too!
