In response to:
>Thyroid meds contain iodine for real?  synthroid, armour, levoxyl and such?
>or did you mean thyroid supplements?  i've never heard of armour, which i
know contains t1, t2, t3, t4 and calcitron, containing iodine.<

If you get a chance to see a biochemistry diagram of what happens to T4
as it becomes T3 or Reverse T3, T2, T1, etc., you would be able to see that
the numbers by the T (or t) represent the number of iodine atoms attached
to the two six-sided rings in the T (thyroid hormone) molecule.
A diagram is available in the following article:
