When taking Lugols iodine, 2-6 drops, it causes significant diffuse body pain (heels, joint, muscle, etc), worsens fatigue and brain fog. Thoughts?
I take about a quarter dropper of Lupol’s Iodine daily with a cup of water mixed with a packet of unflavored LMNT. Started in mid Feb 24. I am male, 70 years young. I started carnivore lifestyle (diet) in Jan 18th, 2024. Had a my medical tests run Jan 25th, 2024. I was pre diabetic, 282 lbs, 76”, low testosterone, etc. Had my labs run again April 26th. No longer pre diabetic, 40 pounds lost, total testosterone 351.5 (256.6 on Jan 25th), triglycerides 98 (110 on Jan 25), cholesterol/HDL 5.1 (3.6 on Jan 25), mean plasma glucose 108 (123 on Jan 25), B12 level 1157 (204 on Jan 25), hemoglobin A1c 5.4 (5.9 on Jan 25), est mean Plasma Glucose 108 (123 on Jan 25). As of today, May 15, 24 I weigh 226, walking on a treadmill 2+ miles and using weight machines for 40 minutes. Feel great, fingernails & toenails are flexible and soft (weird but not so for years). Developed a rash on my chest in Mar 24. It has not gone away completely (strange). Aches & pains pretty much gone. Still sleep with a CPAP but sleep really good. Average 7-8 hours. Don’t know if the iodine helps but it obviously is not hurting!
I was taking 5 drops of Lugols 5% a couple of years when i started carnivore, but i quit, so now i will start again.
Would iodine supplements increase potassium levels in blood?
@jamieandrick6541 curious, do you have autoimmune issues or a known thyroid problem?
Curiosity may “Kill the Cat” but a bold, persistent, curious doctor is a godsend to mankind.
Amen!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back!
And they gotta be bold now since there are mercenaries who work for pharmaceutical companies.
Well said!!
Yes!!! Agreed 100% and well said!
I had been diagnosed hypothyroid and my weight skyrocketed. I never could get my weight down and my doc said well it's not your thyroid your numbers are good. I over the years had a hip replacement and a heart attack. I'm someone who doesn't smoke, drink and couldn't have gluten and dairy. Many digestive issues. I couldve been spared all these symptoms. I have found carnivore and iodine. I'm finally feeling more like myself than I have in 35 years.
What kind of iodine?
@@fgarrison2910best bet is a online study of info. But then go to a health supplement store they can make suggestions. Read labels and sources of iodine.
Thank you for posting. That's very similar to my story. I have studied and tried many, many products and am reluctant to try yet another unless I see a personal account like yours.
This was a breath taking interview! Many congratulations to both of you. I will spread the word among my collègues in Athens. Many thanks to you both.
Have hip replacement
Almost died of uterine cancer thirty yrs ago
Cannot have gluten much or cow dairy among other things
Very interested in your comment
I live next door to a commercial wine vineyard and I'm convinced the pesticide spraying has contributed to my thyroid-like autoimmune symptoms and the cancer rates among women in my neighborhood. I started slowly dosing iodine and using celtic sea salt last year (without a loading test,,,I know....not recommended but, they don't ship to California and I don't have anyone in another state to ship to me) Anyway, my thyroid nodules are gone. I'm a retired RN. I stopped seeing doctors in 2021 during Covid and started taking vitamins, eating clean, organic and walking 3-5 miles a day. I don't trust mainstream medicine anymore! All of my friends are convinced I'm killing myself by not going to the doctor but, it beats the alternative: big pharma which is killing people! May God be with us all....
Yes!!!
Very interesting information, and so glad you are doing well.
I’m curious about your comment on Celtic sea salt. Is it not shipped at all to California, or were you referring to a particular brand or supplier?
@@djtoman6875 SLT salt loading test is a diagnostic test. Sounds like there's a problem with California (surprise) getting participating labs or even the SLT tests. Regulatory issues?
@@centralcoastqueenofswing you made the right choice

4 drops of 5% lugols iodine and my wife her endometriosis pain got less and less. Almost gone now
That's wonderful!
I have tried to find 5% Lugol’s over and over and I’m unable to locate any! Where do you get yours?

@jackwalker1750 so important for immune e system they've found most people with endo have a bacterial infection they don't know about.
This is only the second doctor I've heard praise salt. At LAST. Finally.
Robert (?cywes)md carnivoredoctor md, Shawn baker md, ken berry md, Anthony chaffee md.
Now you know more doctors 😊
Actually, James DiNicoloantonio, Ph.D. wrote a book about salt.
Look up Dr Jason Fung
@user-kc7mu4jp4p They all say that on carnivore you should salt to taste.
Dr. Ken Berry.
Hey Doc, that FTC letter is a badge of honour in my opinion!
May I be directed to where I can read the doctors FTC letter?
This man is a good and very special man. Thank God for him.
Seems like we need SO MANY MORE LIKE HIM. The medical system needs overhauled NOW.
Amazing interview with one of my favourite doctors whose decades of work has been largely ignored by the foolish medical establishment.
Because he's helping people not big pharma
I have Hashimotos and I read Dr Brown stein’s book a couple years ago. Started Lugols solution, Redmonds salt instead of the cheap stuff, and reduced grains in diet. Thyroid nodules have reduced and TSH and antibodies are within normal ranges now.
Hi, while you were taking lugols did you stop taking the medicine or kept taking it?
Why reduce grains..just stop all grains surely for optimal results.
How much of the iodine drops do you take?
@@theresanelephantinthemushr2965 because I still get cravings for bread or pasta occasionally. I know what is optimal, I just am too weak-willed to do it at all times. I eat bread , crackers or pasta only a few times per year.
I wish I had known about this. I ended up with thyroid cancer and a thyroidectomy
Dr Brownstein definitely has street cred. He’s an OG standing up for justice.
OG?

The medical community doesn't want doctors to do a clinical exam they only want doctors to go off of blood tests. I found that out last year when my cholesterol got tested and just because my LDL was high and she totally the doctor totally disregard it my HDL and my triglycerides and the calculations that you can do triglycerides divided by HCL or total cholesterol divided by HDL and I was low risk but she wanted to put me on a statin she didn't even want to do that process and I double checked it on the American heart association website and I was low risk they don't even ask for your LDL numbers they first ask online for your triglycerides and your HDL and then if that doesn't produce the right ratio then they'll probably actually what your LDL is This medical community in this country is just purely driven by pharmaceuticals now. I watch video after video and I get informed and I go to the doctor's office and then just goes out the window anything I ask is just tribalized and it's almost like an antagonistic relationship I wanted my hormones tested and they were like no The gynecologist and my internist who happens to be my PCP everything is just they want to put you on statins they want to put you on osteoporosis drugs they don't want to do anything that's preventive or get to the underpinning of what could be wrong or even you know getting your thyroid numbers and saying I don't feel right and knowing that there's false negatives. I have a neighbor who's 52 and she got diagnosed with osteoporosis and she has a progressive doctor because the woman's health initiative of 2002 it's being called the largest crime against women because of 20 25 years of women not getting HRT because of the ridiculous results that were produced from that study meanwhile HRT bioidentical and host slew of them estrogen progesterone patch etc protect you against osteoporosis, against breast cancer, and a whole host of other benefits you get by having that estrogen and progesterone disgusting It's not happening in Europe.

Praise this hero whom stood in his power and oath to help others vs the propaganda machine during convid!
You have to be made of a superior material to be able to oppose propaganda like Convid and the clot shot. Govts and their mouthpieces/gate keepers, the media, wil, rip you to shreds for daring to oppose their bullshit.
Funny I have always called it CONVID too! 🤣
Yes.. the plandemic!
In 2018 I had worsening joint pain throughout my body. My knee joints hurt so bad I couldn't stand up to get out of a chair. I thought I had fibromyalgia. Then I saw one of Dr Brownstein videos on iodine and bought topical first aid grade iodine and applied to my wrists. Within 36 hours ALL of my joint pain vanished. Been supplementing w Lugols ever since👍
What is topical IODINE, and do you still use it for joint pain, arthritis or just pain? How much lugols are you use'n
Povidone iodine & Iodine tincture in small bottle!
@@les9058he's applying Lugols to the skin. A dab on the wrist. So small amounts are absorbed transdermally. Drops by mouth could overdose.
Call me crazy but I just had the same experience.
Fibromyalgia doesn't make your joints hurt, it makes your muscles hurt because it's the nerves. You could have saved yourself a lot of trouble just by looking up the definition of fibromyalgia and the symptoms to it.
Stopped go to doctor from repeated disappointment with treatment of Thyroid. Started Lugol's iodine about 6 months ago, felt a little better at first then learned using 1/2 the dose I should be using and wasn't using much salt and felt like I was going to pass out all day long. Then today uped my Redmonds Salt and Lugol's iodine and OMG I my brain woke, no kidding.
I'm 72 yrs. old.😂😂
How much salt do you use? I use redmond salts using the docs iodine 50 mg a day...My antibody test got worse way worse doubled in two months???
So I am thinking maybe not taking enough? Thanks
What is the name of the "Doc's brand " of iodine. And how much of total salt and how much iodine. Thank you
My question above was sent to @01rambomom. Thanks
I am 70 years old and me and my wife both go to this clinic and Hailey Brownstein is our doctor. They are very thorough.
Where is this clinic?🙏
You must be getting good care! He's very smart!
@@loulanning9829 you as re very fortunate to have this doctor.
Almost 16 years ago I was healed by a QRA practitioner using Bob Marshall’s premier products I had nodules on my thyroid. My endocrinologist wanted to remove my thyroid. I said no, I want to try holistic approach. I was prescribed iodine and natural salt and also a whole cleansing process. I had the healing crisis! But I survived because I also took several supplements to support my liver and kidneys as they processed the toxic dump, I wish I’d taken glutathione as well. The nodules on my thyroid went away. Since then, i continue to take detoxidine brand iodine daily bc my thyroid expands and contracts in relationship to the chemtrails. I have given my children, every time they get sick at the first sign that they have a cold that they tell me they’re feeling a tickle in their throat. I give them iodine five drops a day for five days 1000 mg vit C, magnesium glycinate each night and their colds resolve within three days. I used the same protocols during the pandemic; I used iodine and at the first sign of sickness, thank you for verifying everything I was taught almost 16 years ago.
P]pp😊😊q
Thats interesting, I'm in the same situation now and my doctor wants to remove my thyroid because of having nodules there. I'm suffering of kidney stones too and it seems that these nodules are the cause of the kidney stones. I need help because i dont want to get my thyroid removed and i would love to have my nodules gone, i'd appreciate some more information about this, I'm lost and dont know whats the approach.
@@ValzzakOfficialmaybe try carnivore and follow the above protocol
What is the drops equivalent in mcg? Trying to the proper dosage for 35/m 200lbs
@@ManjiMachine”nutrition with Judy “ iodine protocol could help with the ratio
There's nothing more exciting than an awakened MD. TG for them 💪😎👌
He had guts quitting his practice He stepped through the looking glass .
I don't think he's vegan plant based.
Carnivore? I never heard him say that.
How would one know if one's levels become too HIGH? SO PLEASE let us know proper combo. You say if we take iodine, we must take salt TOO, + magnesium? Zinc???? Some of us battle financially 😢
@fennkaren , U can get an iodine test from your doctor. Mine came back high, I only take 6.25 mg day, half tab.
@@jgrysiak6566 A main stream Dr's test is going to come back skewed. You need an iodine literate practitioner which are hard to find. Check out Hakala Labs on line.
I’ve taken iodine for years! After listening to Dr. Brownstein again recently, I upped my dose from 37.5 mg to 50 mg because I have Hashimoto’s. I’ve also followed a carnivore diet for almost 5 years and my antibodies are very close to normal.
Do you use Lugols?
Do you still have Hashimoto’s after 5 years of carnivore diet?
How'd you get hashimotos?
Were you taking iodine beforehand?
Hi h product do you use
Do you ingest iodine or place drops on skin to be absorbed that way??
The great gODVERNMENT is very .... delicate... about particular topics. It OBVIOUSLY doesn't want anyone messing with their narrative/agenda.
VERY enlightening. I dropped my doctor because of his willingness to prescribe meds. To this day, it is very hard to find a functional medicine doctor.
Try a naturopath or functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner.. more available
NATUROPATH
I wish he would provide a list of doctors who practice like he does through the US.
I have used two functional doctors....one made my condition worse? The other one told me that I was old...was going to prescribe medication
that was going to throw me into instant withdrawal. And they are not cheap... I end up going to allopathic doctors it aint perfect but I shore
in the hell have never found a functional doctor that ever did anything for my condition.
@donadams3313 sorry to hear that. The first doctor was inexperienced. The other is a fool. Too old. I am 66 and work out like a mule. I couldn't do it if I didn't eat and take supplements. "There is medicine in food."
I love Dr. Brownstein, and I'm sorry that he had to go through that crap with the FTC. He's helped so many people and shared such valuable information on human health from his great research.
Dr. Brownstein is King! thx for the interview!
Ty so much, Reena, this is priceless information, Dr. Brownstein truly is a hero.
Great interview! It is amazing how many doctors discount Chiropractors.
But more doctors are now supporting taking iodine. We are making progress.
Because very few are actually good. That’s why, but same thing with MDs.
@@loriegosnell9355Canadian trained chiros have very good rep.

Cause holistic medicine has shown the value!
25 mg Iodine for regular adult, w adequate salt. Sodium in bloodwork 141 or higher. Chloride, 105 or higher. These numbers sre at about 46 min.
He said 103-105 of chloride is optimal to clarify
What is adequate salt?
@@tkayolson 1/2tsp of unrefined salt

Fantastic interview, i was hooked from start to finish, and gained useful knowledge all the way through. Now to go and view Dr B's book list. Many thanks. 😊👍🏴
Wow, such a great interview and wonderful guest. So informative for me and information i never heard before. Thanks😊😊❤

Be careful 250 micrograms is all i take.
Great informative interview. Thank you.
I have a low functioning thyroid and started giving myself iodine supplement drops. My endocrinologist and my cardiologist both asked me why I bother. I changed doctors
Did you take the iodine topically or orally? Thx
What a brilliant doctor who is truly wise and courageous and has a GENUINE heart for people. So glad I found this interview.

My dental hygienist sees this Dr's practice and lives it there. She said they took 20-30 vials of blood on her first visit but she and she was so glad they did because she learned so much. I'm in the beginning stages of thyroid nodule discovery and getting the run around from my Dr's office. I understand why people get so angry during this process because I'm extremely frustrated.
You can learn so much on TH-cam and the internet. I’m a papered scientist and I’ve learned more on TH-cam in a couple years than in all of my very expensive schooling.
It’s completely frustrating to have another person try to usurp authority over your own well being, especially when you pay them to help!
@@Theqpomyou learned and those of us without medical papers learned, too. And are reversing long time dx's that even the fancy clinics do not know how to really help other than to calm down inflammation. God bless the generous YT loving doctors!
I am going through the same thing. I have nodules on my thyroid and parathyroid. Diagnosed two years ago and they keep saying they are referring me to an endo and they never do! I ask at every visit and they say Sure! But they never do it. They won’t even tell me the name of the endo they say they are going to refer me to so I can make the appointment myself. Something is wrong with that. The first Primary did me the same way and my new primary does it too! No doctor in my town has anything close to a good rating and the ones who do give 4 or more stars are very few and likely aren’t being truthful since I see a ton of people who are angry at the doctor and his or her lack of proper care. Everyone I know in this town is very unhappy with their doctors and most discourage anything the keto and carnivore and pro salt and iodine doctors say. They just throw pills and don’t even do labs like they should. You’re lucky to get 15 minutes with them when you have a chronic disease diagnosis. 😮

Hi Doc Brownstein,
Do you still carry nature thyroid at your office ?
I saw that my last refill from my family doctor for armour thyroid is now from China . I’m shocked !!
Thank you for all your years of service . Your amazing. I was at your office when you started practicing and your office I believe was on orchard lake . I recommend you for the last 25 years to everyone that will listen .
Thank god for BRAVE doctors willing to try and actually HEAL people
Thank you so much for this interview!! It really helped me!!!❤
Thank you both of you for this interview, it was exceptionally interesting and informative. I live in the Uk, I’m pretty sure I have a thyroid issue, but what use is any doctor that has a person waiting nearly an hour in a waiting room and just five minutes in his office. How on earth does a health issue get diagnosed with that. I’ve spent several years now reversing my autoimmune conditions that my useless doctors didn’t recognise or even consider that food sensitivities and bone spurs were the cause. Now I’m trying to work out how to help my thyroid and improve my cervical neck curve. It’s a long, hard and painful road, but I’m making some progress.
I don't trust in traditional doctors any longer. I have learned more on TH-cam, and have diagnosed my husband and myself based on such knowledge. I was right, doctors were wrong.
I heard iodine is banned in England for purchase…?
Have you tried the carnivore lifestyle?
@@dar4835 I’ve been carnivore since early 2020, I love it. Given up my caffeinated coffee, almost off the decaf coffee. I do take electrolytes now and they have really helped with the odd thing that I hadn’t realised was because of not taking them. I am still learning things to improve my health all the time.
Cause sweetie, you Can research it All online and know a lot you Need too before you See that Dr.... You'll know what your symptoms often pointing to, and what tests determine it to request, Dave's everyone a ton of time! Plus you'll know if you've got the knowledgeable Dr. you need, and results then should follow! Or it's off to a better Dr.
Greetings from Turkey. This interview was very enlightening. I have thyroid nodules. Thank you so much. God bless both of you.
Try also stopping high oxalate spices and grains… I think Turkey uses a lot of them? I live in America and we have a lot of high oxalate foods and seed oils also.
@@loriegosnell9355 Ok Thank you!

Thank goodness Dr.Berry dicussed the importance of iodine. I take Lugals iodine daily.

How. Do you take it? The taste is very off-putting to me
Add drops to Kefir ( 4oz), found in dairy section.
Hats off to Dr. Brownstein! My high respect! It is hoped that all doctors will be like him coz I don’t see doctors anymore for years.
Thank you so much for this information this interview is amazing ❤

My mum had multiple health problems her whole life until she died at 71.
She would still be alive if she had listened to me about anything alternative to her beloved doctors who just pumped her full of meds.
My brother is going thr same way 😥
There is nothing you can do when your loved ones are believing just the false narrative with blind faith.
My mom died of all these things at age 65. I wish I knew then what I know now she would still be alive also.
Sadly my aunt is the same way. She's in her 70s and takes at least 20 meds and lives at her doctor's office. Try as I might I can't get her to do anything other than what her "good doctor" tells her 😞
I’m having the same problem with my sister in law. She just had her thyroid removed because it was cancerous. I tried to give her alternative info but didn’t do anything thing with it.
@@dawnlivingston6236 Sadly, just having the knowledge isn't enough. Our loved ones have to actually listen to it. Most don't.
That was a great interview. Sure wish he was in GA.
I think the reason why salt is demonized is because when eating too many carbs we tend to retain fluids therefore have to reduce salt intake, however turn that around and you need enough salt 🤷🏻♂️ due to less water retention if that makes sense.
I believe it's because so many people do not balance their salt to potassium ratios as it's almost impossible to consume enough potassium from our food on a daily basis
Salt was demonized by Sen McCarthy in the late 70's along with cholesterol and saturated fats, when he created the first Dietary Guidelines. As Dr. Brownstein said, a small minority of people had salt sensitivity issues, so McCarthy decided to base lower salt intake for everyone based on the few. None of it was, or is to this day, evidence based.
They blamed salt for sugars sin.
Exactly
There's a difference between unrefined and refined salt. Unrefined has beneficial minerals. Refined is inferior.
Thank you Dr. Brownstown. Hope stays on in the world because of true professionals like you. God bless you, equip, and encourage you in your endeavor to help people!
Thank you for the wonderful work!
There are no words to describe it!
Keep saving lives! Doctor, David Brownstein
Gratitude!
I just bought iodine today, because I love Himalayan sea salt which doesn't have iodine.
Winning Combination. 😊
I believe Himalayan salt is from rock so it’s not classified as ‘sea salt’. That’s why it won’t have much iodine I guess.
OMG i use only Himalyan salt . Thanks for the info. Could you share your experiance ?
Normal sea salt also does not have much iodine. Only added iodine salt has.
Redmonds real salt has the highest iodine in natural salt but it’s still not enough ….
I have been searching iodine. This popped up.
Thankyou sooooo much 🌷⭐️⭐️♾️🤗🤗♾️⭐️⭐️🌷
amazing information thank you
We need a million more Doctors like this!! God bless you both!
I read the Iodine Crisis book and had the 24 hr urine test done i am a bit low and i found a iodine literate pharmacist and he made me the proper dosage,im jsut starting my iodine journey,looking forward to the health benefits,I am hypothyroid and would love to replace my Synthroid with more natural supplements but I have no doctor anymore..Thanks for sharing all this information ❤️
Watch out for incorrect government guidelines because Iodine may really be very low …
How to know the pharmacy that did your dose for your?
2nd.... Armoural is natural thyroid good Drs Rx that, you may need to request....
3rd.... Checkout Dr A Gupta online a thyroid specialist with great info videos and a Thurs live class for info and Q's you could likely get help with a Dr referral... He does Also take patients.... 🤫
Ps... Besides your thyroid need, you need to Balance the things that support your thyroid....
Zinc, iron, sellinium, magnesium, VitD and iodine....
It's all a chemistry work in progress to get you rebalanced...
Depend'n on that outcome you may be able to reduce or illuminate your meds....
I have a thyroid problem, hypothyroid, and totally forgot Dr Brownstein 😂 I’ve been under tremendous stress. I have his book, followed his protocol years ago and went to school to become a licensed health coach. Things got really stressful and my life went downhill and a functional doc diagnosed me with mold toxin illness. I was working on this and my allergies. Also have nasal valve collapse from prior sinus surgery. Went in for my 4th sinus surgery last March and died in the first few minutes from a reaction to the drugs and was in the hospital for about a month. Never fixed my nose and Lost much of my memory. I’ve Been trying to get better and I know I know things but my memory has really dropped 😩😩😩😩😭 I’m SOOOOOO glad I found you again Doc ! 🙌 I DO NOT want to be on armour thyroid !
Regarding salt: perhaps consider making a salt water sole. Instructions on how to make it are all over the internet.
Salt water sole, what is sole???
So thank you Dr. Brownstein for being one of the brave ones. I take Lugol’s drops daily.
Copying the DOAC channel thumbnails and intro playbook still working well for ya. Good video 😊👍
My Mother besides depriving me of Iodine Deprived me of Salt Went out to Cattle Salt Lick to Get salt All my Mother gave me Sugar Sick Mother forced me to Eat things to make me Sick all the time Loved her Mother My Grandma who taught me to drink Tea and do to this day at 76 Have to be Hard to Kill Be Strong Healthy Thanks Dr Brownstein
Can I just say I might have a crush on. Dr. Brownstein!!😊. This might be my favorite podcast on Rina’s channel. Even as a mostly carnivore all my life, I had serious thyroid issues and luckily I got introduced to the most wonderful integrative doctor that is still my doctor today. Back in 2005, nobody knew what Armour Thyroid was and balancing my hormones with iodine and proper salt. My wish for everyone is that they have a doctor like Dr. Brownstein and even my doctor who opens up the channels and uses nutrition and proper supplements, hydration, and exercise to treat what ails us. I agree with Rina that mindset is everything.❤
Haha I feel that way about Dr. Anthony Chaffee❤
GLAD your do'n soooo well! But armoural's been around for a long time, 23:49 took it back in 1990.... My thyroid special had written a book "Solved the Riddle of Illness" by Dr Stephen Langer...now I found him and got armoural... He lined the natural even though it's not always exactly the same Ben natural, why synthroid became the med of choice...
But I didn't hear Until recently about iodine issues and LUGOLS as a good source... So I'm do'n that next....
Also, you need the other necessary nutrients for thyroid Support.... Sellinium, iron, zinc, magnesium, iodine, VitD are ALL Very necessary!
God bless you and people like you Dr Brownstein
Go Blue!!!! Hail to the victors!! Dr Brownstein will appreciate this comment. Incredibly fortunate to have Dr Brownstein close to home. I am definitely going to reach out to his office for an appointment.
I love Doctor Brownstein..He is the best
Thank you Doctor. May Yah bless you abundantly, and family too. ❤
70 years ago, the majority of people lived rurally, drinking well water, which is full of trace minerals. City water is filtered river or lake water without minerals. It'd be interesting to know if this has made a difference.
Since first seeing interviews with Dr Brownstein I have increased my iodine to 15mg a day I have had glandular problems all of my life.
How are you feeling now?
@kathleendepew1683 how many drops do u use?
Where do you get it
@@pabloforlanvalandro 15 drops. I put it in a gel cap. Buying 5% Lugols next time
@@ummadam9608 feeling pretty good these days. Hoping to resolve thyroid nodules -won’t know how that’s going until I have an ultrasound.
Fantastic interview! Great he followed his passion for healing people rather than just money; ashame that his honest service to people brought him to the attention of the government.
He is humble and humorous!
Great vid.
So if the ocean is contaminated so is the seafood and kelp. If our soil is deficient of iodine where are these companies getting their safe iodine to make their product?
Lugol’s Solution is made from the elemental forms of iodine. It’s not sourced from the wild, it is created chemically in a lab setting.
Some source iodine from salt mines, where the brine is ancient.
@@blooey2 how would one know the source where the iodine was harvested?
@@YouButter Best to contact the manufacturers. This is going to sound like an ad, but I do know the Lugol’s Solution made by J. Crow’s LLC has been produced this way since 1829.
@@YouButter from the brands bottle. Lugol states where theirs is from
