I might have found it - this from the iodine book.pdf, which was sent me 
by magnascent.ca. It's iodine deficiency.

"Dr Kellman of the Centre for Progressive Medicine in New York said, 
"Once damage to the thyroid takes place it affects all the other organs 
– starting with digestion and absorption. Toxins start accumulating in 
the system. You can have an array of symptoms: heart disease and its 
complications, high homocysteine levels, poor circulation, weight 
gain/loss, no appetite or bingeing, [b]bloating[/b], fluid retention, 
skin problems, aching joints, low blood pressure, high cholesterol, low 
libido, hair loss, and sensitivity to cold." 1
Iodine intake immediately increases the excretion of bromide, fluoride, 
and some heavy metals including mercury and lead. Bromide and fluoride 
are not removed by any other chelator or detoxifying technique."

The book is a good read.
