I started taking Lugol's iodine after some abnormal TSH tests. Game changer. I'm not into the theory that 1 thing makes a world of difference, I have found it's usually a confluence of factors or stimuli that yield positive changes in well being, e.g. the world doesn't operaten in isolates. But in this case iodine did, and my brain seemed to work better. Less intrustive thoughts, more relaxed, less fog, better concentration. My .02 cents, Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is WAY too low. The soil has been ruined and "demineralized", and that has wreaked havoc on the whole eco system.

When iodine was removed from bread and replaced with bromides breast cancer began to skyrocket. Along with thyroid disease. Bromides are -anti-iodine. Iodine is essential for breast health. Read “The Iodine Crisis”. Easy to understand book and info plus resources on support and supplementing iodine. Detoxing bromides.

Brazil nuts are not commercially grown because they are the biggest tallest tree in the rain forest. It towers above all the other trees and takes many many years to grow. They do not get fertilized or sprayed and are still today collected by hand by the native peoples where they grow. Rain Forest has very little nutrients in the soil as it gets washed away by the rain however the massive root system of this tree go way deep collecting natural minerals from deep down including the one it likes most. Selenium. I come from an area with absolutely no selenium in the soil so all our livestock has to be Supplemented with it and all who know about it take it as it is vital.

This is a fantastic video full of information that most doctors don't know - not even endocrinologists (who mostly just deal with diabetes) What does this mean for those of us that have had full thyroidectomies? Do we still need iodine? Do we need less? Do we need more supplementation to deal with the oxidative stresses or are those non-issues without a thyroid? So many questions.

Good info. In addition to Selenium, you should increase your salt (unprocessed) as that will help detox the other halogens like bromine and flouride that will get released with iodine supplementation

I enjoyed learning about iodine. Please help me know what you would choose for a supplement. I do not have any thyriod problem that I know of as a senior citizen. Thyroid Support supplement brand #1 contains 169 mcg iodine and 220 mcg selenium. Iodine Supplement brand #2 contains 12.5 mg Iodine and 2.5 mg selenium. My objective is to increase my levels to a higher concentration like the Japanese have. They all have long and healthy lives. Thank you.

I take 12.5 mg a day (2 drops of 5% Lugol's). There are supplements other than selenium you need to take with iodine, like Vit. C and more. So many things have halogens in them nowadays. I'm doing a lot of research trying to determine the amount I should be taking of each.

I recently bought some organic kelp powder as opposed to the liquid. It's also pretty easy to manage the dose, as one small scoop is around 350 mcg of iodine. I just put a little bit in my tea and mix it around and I can barely taste it, so that's another option for people who prefer to stay away from the concentrated tinctures.

I have hypothyroidism and Hyperparathyroidism. I took 3 drops of 2% lugols 3000 mcg and had a reaction. BP went up and I felt horrible. So it scared me off. Then I found out I had hypothyroidism and so researched and started on the 200 mcg of selenium and 1 drop or 1000 mcg of iodine, and 30 mg of Zinc. I felt better and no reaction. I have now bumped my iodine gradually to 3000 mcg of Lugols 2% along with my NP thyroid hormone and and TSH has dropped from 5.6 to 4.8. So doing better. I do not drink any chlorine and fluoride in food, meds, or water.

I’m about a month into keto, mostly carnivore. I’m under 10% fat. Just doing this for health and longevity. So far I love it. Tons of energy and actual motivation. I’m 38. My only complaint is here and there I’m irritable. I wouldn’t say I have anger issues or easily triggered. Just won’t let something go if someone says or does something I disagree with. Luckily it’s only every once in a while but hopefully it gets better with time. Obviously my mind and body are relearning how to operate on a completely different fuel. Also a little more sensitive to lack of sleep. Anyone else?

This might be a dumb question so forgive me if it is. I was taking sulforaphane to help me metabolize estrogens better and the Dutch test showed it was helping. But i later learned it can cause thyroid issues.. and later my thyroid was becoming hypo in which it never has (I’ve always been more hyper). I’ve since stopped the sulforaphane but concerned about not metabolizing estrogens well. Do you think it’s possible the sulforaphane supplement caused my thyroid? My TSH was slowly creeping up over the time I was taking it. I will as my doc but wanted to know your thoughts. Any tips for metabolizing estrogens? I eat keto/carnivore. Thanks for the great videos!

I have drunk distilled water for years without any negative effects. We get more than enough minerals in our food, and when I looked up what they are doing to the water supply; fluoride, faecal matter and all kinds of crap in the water I decided enough was enough and it would be distilled from now on, that was over 4yrs ago. Crazy times dictate crazy measures, or using common sense has to be the number one mantra people need to hear each day.
