How does the T3 produce the result? Is it possible that conversion to T2 - liberation of iodine - is what does it? I have not head of this condition so I'll do some reading. Also, does simple iodine supplementation help?

T3 hormone binds to thyroid hormone receptors in the cell's nucleus, which regulates gene expression. These TH receptors are present all over the place; thyroid hormone has wide ranging effects on the body.

The most common cause of hypothyroidism is the autoimmune destruction of the thyroid gland. No amount of Iodine helps; you need T3 (usually administered as T4 which is then converted to T3 endogenously).
