Anyone at Gupland heard of this ‘hypothyroidism’ illness?

oops, sorry. Are any of these two related to iodine ki kami?

I guess you could say that, but I aint no authority. According to the website above, the illness has to do with production (or lack of) thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland. The gland uses the iodine present in the blood supply to produce this hormone.
