Let’s talk about the #1 sign of iodine overload or toxicity. Iodine is a trace mineral, which means you only need it in trace amounts.
You only need about 150 to 200 micrograms of iodine daily. Iodine deficiency is more common than iodine overload, but you should be aware of certain things that could happen if you take too much.
Signs of iodine overload:
1. Energy that prevents sleep
2. Fast pulse rate
3. Atrial fibrillation
4. Heat intolerance
5. Diarrhea
6. Weight loss
7. Hand tremors
8. Temperature increase
9. Bone loss
10. Loss of menstrual cycle
11. Excessive sweating
12. Thyroid storm
If you have symptoms of too much iodine, it is essential to identify where it’s coming from and eliminate excess iodine from your diet.
Iodine overload could be caused by consuming an excess of certain things, including:
• Sea kelp or seaweed
• Iodized salt
• Seafood
• A combination of supplements (check your supplement labels and find out how much iodine you’re really getting)
• Bakery goods
Try a urine test to find out if you have iodine overload.

I was on synthetic thyroid medication for 25 years. After seeing an interview with Dr. Brownstein and reading his book on iodine, I started supplementing with 25mg of iodine, then went off medication. After 3 months, my thyroid output of T3 and T4 were back in the normal range. I asked my doctor why they didn't recommend testing for iodine deficiency or using iodine supplementation before putting people on synthetic thyroid hormone. He smiled and said it was a good question.
25 mg or 0,25 mg?
@@davidpickett6272 25 mg. I'm now down to 12.5 mg, but thinking of going back up. I find it also makes my mind seem sharper.
@@davidpickett6272 If he is talking about Dr Brownstein, he will be referring to 25mg.
@@davidpickett6272 - based on my experience, I would say 25 mg of Lugol's Iodine is a good daily dose if you are otherwise healthy, but more if you are trying to push out bromine and fluoride. Lugol's iodine is powerful detoxifier.
Here is the amount of iodine contained in a drop of Lugol's iodine based on potency:
2% 2.50 mg per drop
3% = 3.75 mg per drop
5% = 6.25 mg per drop
7% = 8.75 mg per drop
10% = 12.50 mg per drop
15% = 18.75 mg per drop
Did u take other supplements??
I'm going to have to stick with Dr. David Brownstein's advice on this issue. 150 mcg of Iodine was never determined to be an optimal amount to take... rather, it was determined to be the *minimum* amount to reduce the incidence of goiters in the central US when that was a huge problem. These days we have *unlabeled* bromine added to flour products, bromine used in car upholstery, carpeting, furniture, bedding and more products. Bromine also blocks iodine receptors... so if 150 mcg of Iodine was barely acceptable back then, the need for it can only be greater these days. Lugol figured all of this out in the early 1800s.
Agree... I lived in Tanzania during my childhood and used to wonder why people had swollen neck practically resulting from enlarged thyroid gland resulting to goitre... Thanks to all of you and Dr. Berg for spreading this important awareness!
Most people have deficiency rather than abundance of iodine.
Hashimotos was triggered in many developing countries when iodide was added to salt.
@@bronsonstone725 I've bought lugols iodine 5%, and have been trying to take 4 drops a day in a 200ml glass of water. The problem is, I'm using my tap water and don't have a filter or water distiller. Will be getting one soon and will have lugols iodine daily.
@@davidtrindle6473 Does that imply that genes mutated to require iodine/ide and develop goiter, etc if not taken- whereas before iodine/ide was concentrated/introduced to human body, goiter/thyroid issues didn't exist?
Having read Dr David Brownstein’s book and had recommendations from two well-known doctors who recommended to start with 1 drop of Lugols Iodine daily, ie 6.5mg, I have followed their advice and slowly increased the dose to 18mg daily. I have been on this dose for 15 years! I am 66 and have no illnesses, hardly ever get a flu, am fit and well. H.W.
What strength of Lugols do you take , 5%, 15% ?
@@kobalt77 I always use 5% - 2 drops per day, but use intermittently now, with a few months off and a few months on. Do a medicine dose when I have an infection - 2 drops, 3 times a day for two days. Usually knocks any infection on the head.
@@jacthomson1559 What a wonderful reply, greatly appreciated !!!
Amazing how they put bromine in everything while removing the Iodine, sounds just like another tin foil hat conspiracy.
I agree! After reading Dr. Brownstein's book, I started taking 25 mg of iodine/iodide (RLC Labs iThroid capsules twice per day) a few months ago. My body temperature increased from the upper 96 F level to the mid/upper 98 F level, and I've been able to stop taking my thyroid medication (levothyroxine) after being on it for over 10 years. My most recent labs showed that my free T3 and T4 hormones are in the normal range, my body temerature has consistently stayed in the upper normal range, and I feel great overall (I also take daily: selenium, magnesium, vitamin C, D-3, zinc, and use Real Salt liberally)! The notion of iodine toxicity is seriously overhyped - anyone with normally functioning kidneys will simply excrete any excess iodine that the cells of your body cannot utilize.
I moved to Germany and found out the ground is very deficient in Iodine. Taking iodine now and feeling good
. . . as you should.
Taking six drops of iodine in water for a period of six weeks along with selenium helped me reverse my reynaulds syndrome. Iodine is essential for anyone with or without a thyroid. While six drops in water is considered a high dose, it's worth considering that doctors used to prescribe iodine in much higher doses before the pharmaceutical industry intervened.
6 drops of lugols in one glass of water taken at once? Every day? Is the selenium also liquid? How many drops?
Thank You Theapotpixie!
Great point!
@@keylanoslokj1806 pay attention to concentration of Lugol Solution. Six drop might be too high for normal or alternate use. On internet, calculation of Iodine from Lugol is available.
@Google RR I suppose that depends on your dreams 😊
Dr David Brownstein in his book “Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without It” talks about the side effects as being a result of bromine being released from receptor sites that iodine competes for. Bromide/bromide being added to things like bread to preserve it. Also used as an alternative to chlorine in pools. The bromine being released has to happen at a gradual and slow rate as it can create a crisis. If what Dr Berg said here was true, a good majority of the Japanese population would be suffering from too much Iodine. Is that true? It seems that their health is optimal compared to Americans. They typically eat a diet high in fish and seaweed.
I follow Dr Brownstein protocol and improved greatly...
Totally agree with you, brominde/bromine is one issue to be regarded..
We live in such a toxic world
And any animal meat
@@chadwolfeschledgelsteinhau9697 what does meat?
Maybe the Japanese have low selenium levels. The thyroid has more selenium than anywhere in the body which is used to stop excess TPO/H2O2 oxidation process. It seems there is a strong push to scare people about iodine. Just like D3.
@MrBrianDuga, the recipe listed below in this comment is the one on how to help with bromide detoxing. ( removing the bromide is so important, and it takes a while to clear the body of bromide rashes and bromide acne and bromide smell as it is released. Bromide translates to the word stench. These things show the bromide clearing. The recipe below also helps with fatigue and low mood while detoxing.) Use the recipe below to clear bromide so then the iodine can rightly go to that receptor that the bromide was occupying wrongly. Once bromide is detached from the receptor, iodine takes back its own receptor back and also chases after the bromide untill it clears out of our system through urination and sweating etc.) Recipe, to detox the bromide; drink a solution of salt, brand name, 'Real Salt' 1/4 teaspoon, with 1/2 cup filtered water, immediately following that, drink 12oz. to 16oz. of filtered water. This helps clear our bodies of bromide and it's detox symptoms. It can be used often. Salt water also helps to detox the fluoride, which needs to be released from the chloride receptor. This process allows the salt(sodium chloride) chloride can then reclaim the receptor the fluoride was blocking. We need salt for many things, we need iodine for many things. Iodine and salt help with clearing the breasts of dense fibroid tissue condition. This healing of the breast tissue seems miraculous to me, as the tissue then feels truly soft, wonderful and the breast discomfort is gone.
I developed a severe case of sleep deprivation, like down to 2 to 3 hours a night. In 2008, I went to a naturopath in LA, and through kinesiology, he said I needed iodine. Just that night, I slept 6 hours straight from being exposed to the iodine in his test.That's the first time I'd had that much sleep in years.
I've been taking liquid iodine ever since. The bottle says 2 drops are a normal dose and 226mcg. I've always taken 6 drops daily.
I have goiter from malnutrition as a child in Europe. Goiter is why they put iodine in table salt. It was common even here in the US at one time.
I've had no side effects from taking triple the recommended dose.
Wow, thanks for sharing ❤
I take 50 mg per day with no issue. That about 20 drops of the liquid Lugols iodine.
@lizzyjeanne I don't think you need near that much. Although I have not heard of any side effects, I'd be a little more conservative with it.
The most I've ever taken is six drops. Taking four or five seems to be adequate.
@@wernerdanler2742 it works for me. If you read dr Brownstein’s: Iodine, Why You Need It… and Linda Farrow’s The Iodine crisis, you’ll see that many people take much more than that. Your body eliminates what it can’t use. But if it needs it, then not taking enough doesn’t help. It can take very high doses to dislodge the Bromine and fluoride that are attached to the Iodine receptor and make room for the iodine to bind. So if you are taking a small amount, then the iodine probably can’t even get to the receptors.
I have a serious case of insomnia
I need help,doctors can’t figure out what’s wrong
Can you help me please ?
Iodine over load is rare, the bakery goods don't have Potassium Iodide anymore, they replaced it with the horrible Potassium Bromate.
thank god. I stopped eating bakery junk 10 years ago
@@rayj33 Yes!
Well, we got to find out why some taking iodine supplements or living in an iodine rich country like Japan, are experiencing hyperthyroid issues like heat intolerance and palpitations, etc, but medical tests show normal. But the hyperthyroid symptoms only come with increase of iodine in some form. Maybe a co-factor nutrient like selenium is missing? Testing selenium (while decreasing iodine-rich seafood and seaweed in Japanese meals) so too early for me to say. Re: Doctors say no long subclinical hypothyroid but normal. Also at menopause which for some seem to bring these thyroid swings BUT for sure it seems linked with increased iodine.
It might not be so rare, rather unnoticed.
Breads haven't had iodine added for years - they now use bromides. I have Hashimotos and find Dr. Brownstein's book and Lynne Farrow's book "The Iodine Crisis" much more informative. I have taken up to 200 milligrams a day (when I had covid). My normal amount is between 50mg and 100mg/day and have never felt better. The books will explain the detox symptoms and the supplements needed.
So does albuterol and dozens of other foods and meds. All intentional to cripple the republic and every metabolic process. Oh, I forgot brominated vegetable oils.
Some wonder why this country has fallen so far, start with the FDA and CDC, and you might have a clue if we survive the coming Winter.
Sodium Iodide was at one time used for infections, now it's reserved for our pets. The Only problem with the Iodine halogen might be its efficacy, and concentrations.
Better to wait for the Iodine to purify the water or heat it instead of Chlorine. Initially their reasoning was the lighter atom traveled through some of the waterborne parasitic cyst shells quicker.
I use similar dosages, never had any problem.
I have also Hashimotos ,i live in italy but i feel that i doesn't have iodine in my body ,my doctor said the iodine doesn't help u don't take it,and i have Thyroid node i don't know if i have to start taking iodine or no
@@saraafify7092 I highly recommend reading the books. Please note that the info on iodine that doctors have been taught is based on a faulty study (The Wolff-Chaikoff Study which was faulty at best, if not downright fraudulent). Good luck!
I would highly suggest reading dr. David Brownstein's book on iodine.
I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and needed up to 300mg L-Thyroxin daily. An alternative Doctor told me to take Selenium and Iodine and my Thyroxin intake went down to 50 mg daily with no problems anymore.
300 mcg ?
@@mrkitty777 mg
How much Selenium do you take? Thank you
@@juliastewart6742 200 mcg
@@Sascha5863 you mean milligrams of Selenium?
I would start with balancing B vitamins, and electrolytes first if I wasn't taking any iodine supplements. I think that low electrolytes are a much more common problem for most people, especially when potassium is limited in its strength. B vitamins are also low for many people and are so important for our health. Taking a liquid B complex on a daily basis made major improvements in my health.
Me too! Bs and electrolytes, esp B1!
For me too, enough potassium has made the biggest improvement in my life. Then b1, then vitamin d, all from Dr Berg.
@@experimenthealthyketo83 in what form did you take potassium?
How long to do the electrolytes? My bp keeps dropping repeatedly.. always on red alert

Oh my goodness I have all these symptoms including loss of cycle! Just checked how much I’ve been taking and it’s over 400mcg. I was combining kelp supplement and another vitamin for hair loss which in itself has 225mcg. And I had just taken them when I run into this video! I think that was by divine intervention. Thank you Dr Berg.
Apparently the average person in Japan eats 10,000 to 15,000mcg daily so I HIGHLY doubt you taking that miniscule amount would be doing anything negative. I will be taking at least 3000mcg daily from now on too see how that goes.
Michael Friëdman, ND: So what would your protocol be if someone was low on iodine?
Thyroid Expert David Brownstein, MD: Generally, I start most patients with 25,000 mcg a day and adjust it as needed. If they have endocrine disease, such as breast, prostate, pancreas, or thyroid, sometimes I’ll start with more.
MF: And when you’re giving 25 mg a day, how do you assess when to stop?
DB: Well, we need iodine on a daily basis. The body doesn’t have much of iodine stored, so if you stop taking it, you’ll go back to deficiency stage very quickly.
MF: So most of your patients on it are on indefinitely, then?
DB: Yes, most are on 25 mg, I would say, in my practice.
@@Veganarchy-Zeteticwhat’s the name of his book? I wanna read it. Also, I don’t get why berg is promoting 150 micrograms when it’s the same dose that the government wants us on. That’s a huge 🚩 to me
This was from an interview. Not sure about a book.
The government doses are based around the absolute minimum required to survive. Not to thrive or be healthy. @@FransceneJK98
Eric Berg made another video about no known upper limit to iodine as Japanese consume 5x as much while simultaneously having lower risks of ovarian cancer.
basically saying going over can yield more benefits
Yes. Basically a polar opposite to this video. Not sure why the conflicting information.
I have the same understanding. Next video, let’s all ask him to clarify this point as early as possible, after he released the next video ❤
Yes. Because this video is about having too much!
@@ineedhoez Yes. He later answered me that if taken through foods, it won’t be too much but through supplementation of iodine alone, it may become a problem.
I swear these videos come out at almost the exact time I happen to be thinking about the topic.
I have been taking 11 milligrams, not micrograms, of iodine (as Lugol's solution) every day for ten years and have no ill effects. I also make sure to get selenium and the substances required to make glutathione and have done that for more then thirty years. So 'too much' iodine must depend on factors other than simply eating a lot of iodine. (Before ten years ago, I got about 3 milligrams of iodine every day starting in the early 1980s.)
I have continued taking the higher dose because the effect it has on my health is unambiguously good.
I’m gonna start on on the solution too 2% with just 1 drop a day for now. See how I feel. When did you feel the need to increase your dose to several drops? What type of selenium brand do you use, it’s the 200mcg (micrograms) right?
In another one of your videos you ridicule the US RDA of 150 micrograms/day of iodine being far too little. And that the Japanese consume 150 times that just from their diets. So which is it???!
The RDA is the base minimum set many decades ago to prevent Goiter .. it is far too low for the current day
True. I took a supplement for thyroid health with 200mcg iodine twice a day. And just in 3 days...i had extremely swelled and bleeding gums, inflammed mouth and tongue and toothaches. Also increased body heat. The symptoms subsided as soon as I stopped the supplement
When a person starts on iodine they begin to remove toxins from the cells into the bloodstream and if this is faster than the kidneys can remove those toxins they can cause unwanted symptoms so if that happens it is better to reduce the dose and then pulse start slowly increasing. 200mcg BTW could hardly do much at all! But iodine itself certainly wouldn't produce those symptoms. Every cell in the body needs iodine and vitamin D.
The visual aids are very nice. Please don't stop doing them. I've followed you and your advice. I started at 250 and now I'm down to 180lbs. I've been IF and doing dirty keto for about 6 months. Thank you. My gastro doctor was of no help. He just wanted to keep giving me pills that made me more sick.
Agree, visual aids are excellent, and seeing Dr Berg's face makes it feel very personal. But then an inserted picture or video of some unknown person taking a pill makes me gag. The guy with the huge hair and beard is weird. Those visuals aren't needed. I can shut my eyes, though! Thank you Dr Berg! 😉
Im in my 60z and if i had taken doctors advice i would be on half a doz tablets now until the end of my life, and most of those tablets are medical scams like statins for high cholesterol. Veins and arteries dilate and contract similar to the way your iris works and thats what goes wrong not cholesterol.
Ive seen some good advice from Dr Eric Berg and i like way his focus is mainly on the food cure, he should be the standard for all doctors but unfortunately too many of them are drug pushers.
Wow such a well done 👏 very inspiring ❤
Thank you! God bless you Dr Berg for all you do
Thank you again,Dr Berg. I have Hashimoto’s and you have helped me understand so many of the symptoms I have had associated with this condition and better yet, ways to manage. ❤
Thank you very much for this video! The video is exactly what I was looking for!😀
Amazing how much information you put forward that I wish I could have heard a couple years ago, but still manage to further increase my knowledge and understandband the few others that I still do. I’ll soon complete the list. Until then.
I have much to thank you for “Thank you greatly“!
Thanks a ton DR BERG for all your informative and amazing work.
Sounds more like hyperthyroidism symptoms than iodine toxicity. My understanding is your body takes what it needs and the rest is excreted. A lot of organs in the body use iodine, not just the thyroid. That RDA is mainly related to thyroid , not with regards to how much the BODY needs or uses. Perhaps you need to do a little more research? Granted you need selenium whether you have a lot iodine intake or not. T
Hashimoto can also occur without high iodine intake. It’s an autoimmune condition
I have been taking lugo's solution for years now and have not had any issues. Must add ever since I have been taking it I have not gotten the flu or a cold or even covid symtoms. Every cell in your body needs Iodine, and my understanding as well, what ever your body needs in takes in and excretes what is not needed.
Totally agree with you
Hashimoto's also very strongly correlated with Lyme disease. I have both.
Caution: Do not confuse tincture of iodine with Lugol's iodine. Tincture of iodine is for topical use only and very much stronger.
Ok 👍 thanks for sharing ❤
Funny you should say that.
Adele Davis mentioned using tincture of iodine if you could not get other iodine supplements in one of her books. I tried it a couple of times, and it's nasty. Yuk!
You can't dilute it enough to make it really palatable. I don't know what's in it besides iodine.
I buy Aiden's and have used that exclusively for the last 15 years.
@@wernerdanler2742 I use Adele's method to this day. One bottle has lasted me thirty years! One of the interesting things about minerals, especially iodine and sodium, is that your tongue loses its taste for the mineral when you have a deficiency, but the mineral quickly becomes brackish in taste when the mineral is restored.
@@ropeyarn Very interesting, thanks!

Something off this topic Dr. Berg.
You tickle me because you are almost always the first one I see sending videos in the morning. Your knowledge is refreshing.
And it's always good to see your face.
Actually, I have some of that symtoms because my T4 is hight, 6.9, enought to give me fatigue, my Dr, is checking that every 6 months, hoping it will get back to normal, thank you for YIF🙏

Dr Berg, please elaborate more on hyperthyroidism and what and what to avoid
God Bless Everyone Love One Another
Thank you for your message.
THANK YOU! I have a history of subclinical hyperthyroidism. I feel like people just blindly promote consuming an abundance of iodine without considering consequences as they relate to hyperthyroidism. I also feel like hypothyroid issues seem to get much more attention, and people always think that hypo is the only thyroid problem a person can have. I tell you firsts hand, hyperthyroid symptoms are awful. And all the iodine the internet promotes did me a huge disservice. **EDIT** I want to add, I am at this point very close to the normal range of thyroid function. My last test had me off by just a couple of points on the decimal end, not the whole number. I don't have severe symptoms at this time, I was just sharing. I appreciate all of the shared experiences and recommendations in comments. I feel like there is a lot of valuable information we can derive from one another.
Did you have bipolar or delirium tremen or hypersomnia or insomnia ?
I don't know how much more on human you are than me but it got rid of my nodule and it was really swollen my goiter and I took 50 mg 3 time's a day on the fourth day it had shrunk to normal then I went two two times a day every 12 hours and I take about 40 mg of the try iodine molecular sodium and potassium you have to take all three... Please please if you could share your experience instead of just saying this service can you be more specific!?!?
Thank you in advance!!!
I was diagnosed with the nodule it was very large and it was on my thyroid and I it was by way of MRI and blood work revealed that my t4 wasn't converting to t3 so you have to
I don't recommend you just take a bunch of iodine 50 mg if you don't have a problem or if you're not diagnosed these blood tests and MRIs are really important that's why I feel that I attacked it before waiting for another test from the doctor who didn't know how much conventional medicine to give me in the first place and I was not going to suffer another day so I took iodine this happened to me once before about 20 years ago when I had a toxicity problem and all I knew is iodine I didn't know medicine existed and it took care of the problem until this time which was also a toxicity problem I was trying to cure something else and against my better judgment I took the some conventional medicine maybe overdid it and this is the result my poor thyroid so get your blood work done and MRI is great and ultrasound is better and feel for these things just like breast cancer you could feel it but sometimes you can't until boom all of a sudden it pops out of your neck and you feel pain and swelling and your voice changes these are all signs your body talks to you like Dr Berg says listen to it

I think a lot of folks with low iodine are taking this personally. Don't. I also have felt amazing when I started taking iodine, but if you feel great, this video is likely not for you! However, if you are taking iodine, it's nice to know what the symptoms are if you do start having issues so you can start testing and figuring things out. I do disagree with the requirements, but I also think that is directed at people who have normal levels and are not showing any symptoms. Just my thoughts.

How I wished I've known this information long time ago, I will not let my doctor remove my thyroid, now I have to take levothyroxine for the rest of my life. Thank you so much for this information doc. God bless.♥️
I got hyperthyroidism about 15 years ago . The doctor gave me 2 options : medication or surgery to remove thyroid gland and have to use drug through life .drug cures about 21% . So I chose drug , if drug wont’t be effective , then I would have surgery .
After using it , I recovered . No need removing thyroid gland . .
The only sign I had is my eyes looks strange , my brother told me and I went to see the specialist and discovered I got hyperthyroidism
All removed? :-(
I started taking iodine this week. I was just thinking I need this video and then it popped up. lol. thanks!
Thank you again, Dr Berg. Another great video.
You're very welcome! Glad you liked it.
Thanks doc, I greatly appreciate your efforts.
You're very welcome
reference: "The Iodine Crisis" - iodine is truly a misunderstood mineral; also reference Dr Brownstein's iodine book.... it's not accurate that it causes thyroid dysfunction; keep reading please
Thanks for the video, very informative!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
U are a legend not just a doctor, Thanks
Thanks you Dr Berg.
I have numerous overlapping autoimmune health challenges, including genetic EDS. I also have Hashimotos Thyroiditis. In 2009, I had a thyroid storm that almost killed me. It wasn't due to iodine. Rather, my immune system briefly stopped attacking my thyroid and unbeknownst to me, started working on it's own. Meaning without me knowing it, my thyroid meds were then too high a dose, and actually became an overdose. Very scary. Had a cardioversion, but have had AFib/heart issues ever since.
So sorry you had this experience! I started taking more CoQ10 and having a lot less issues with both heart and thyroid. I have Grave's Disease and now as I age, it seems I have the low thyroid problems more often. It's difficult to balance, and all my doctors ever did was make things worse. Gotta listen to your body and write these symptoms down, even then... loss of sleep, dry skin or moist skin, etc., and I never take one supplement every day. I skip around and seem to do better that way. I do like this advice from Dr. Berg.
Oh my God! This exact thing just happened to me in Sept!!! Who did you see and what tests did you get to determine? I had 2 cardio versions since and in continuous afib.
i had something wrong medications overdosed me have to be so so careful I'm low pth but how they never found out i do not really know all the bloods they had over the years and operations
Ok! Possibly, some of his videos on afib may help ❤
How did you treat your Hashimotos please??
I generally take a "kelp" pill offering iodine at 150 mcg. I also use iodized sea salt that I can now find in the Philippines. Thanks Dr Berg.
Wow, right on time for me . Thanks.
Glad you found this video so helpful!
Dr. Berg's Support Team
DR Berg is the man !
Please do a video on low platelets. I want to share with my sister. Thank you, Dr. Berg!
Eat good amount of papaya or take the papaya leaf extract vitamin, it’s working good, it increases the platelet faster. My father had that problem 😢
another great learning session
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words.
I have a friend who could not for the life of her lose weight after having kids. She tried everything and nothing worked and also changed her diet during this time with picky eaters. She finally got her thyroid tested and her metabolism was at a snails pace because of lack of iodine in her thyroid. After 8 years of almost being obese and new lifestyle changes the weight is finally coming off!
Great 👍 thanks for sharing ❤
That seems to be what's happening to me. I just upped my daily dose of iodine to 50 mg. Hope it works for me.
@@LunaPaloma77 Only buy iodized salt. They added iodine to it years ago because goiters were very common and it prevents them! Hope this helps!
Good luck!
Hello Dr Berg good morning how are you? Thankyou for sharingyour knowledge and videos with us! God bless!
I think my thyroid issue is caused by fluoride in water and in meds. Thanks for the video
What about lugols 2 percent 3 drops a day? Thank you so much for your videos
Thank you! Can you please make a video talking about Sea Moss gel, because I just start using it because I saw so many people talking about the benefits but it says that if we take too much can increase the iodine. I will really appreciate it.Thank you!
Oh my goodness! Are you reading my mind!??!! As I have commented a few times on how I'm banging my head against a wall, with getting my regular small town primary care doctor to understand what's going on with my mess of a metabolism, trying to get them to understand how all these things are connected and can affect the other when dealing with IR, hypothyroid, diabetes(borderline)... I finally got them to at least look at the conversion issue from T4 to T3... instead of just throwing more synthroid and iodine at it. Your info here in this video might just get them to stop and think. Using Tudca has already helped on so many levels it amazed them but now, that my bile situation is better and my liver is functioning better, still such a complicated balance to get thyroid hormones in check. They always just want to throw one thing at it, and I keep saying it's got to be more than that. Thank You for this info and explaining how tricky it can all be. It's not just about high TSH.
I have Hashimotos. What is Tudca?
@@sheridansplace1607 tudca is short for a supplement. Tauroursodeoxycholic acid. It helps thin bile when you have digestive issues from bile sludge, and sometimes can help with gall stones.
Can you do a video about Iodized salt vs Non Iodsized salt and Possibly getting Iodine overload vs a Sodium issue.
Thank you doc Berg❤️
You're very welcome!
Thank you again, my Hero!😊
It's much appreciated.
This is what im waiting for !fsupporter from🇵🇭
I've been taking iodine for a while! My hair, age 62 is unbelievable, thick, and healthy
This is mindblowing! I have graves disease and have been 98% better from vitamin D and B1. No swedish doctors but one knew bout this...ONE in all of my town. Is Dr Berg a genious I wonder or does he just have the right education?
Genius for sure! ❤
Hi I have Graves Disease too. Do you know how much iodine you consume in your regular diet?
@@Charlie_Ses Yes, none. I've reduced it in my salt so there should be only small small amounts left since iodine triggers Graves. I also dont eat dairy or gluten.
@@Vixinaful Ok thanks, that's good to hear. I just reduced my iodine intake in my diet after 8 years of having an overactive thyroid, and my blood results have improve massively. It's incredible that diet can play such a big part in thyroid health. Good luck.
i think he just stays curious, whereas others think they know enough.
Your videos are so informative and useful, but please buy a camera and a mic.
taking 650 mcg or so, never felt better in my life. had a vitamin d deficiency as well. doctor gave me 50k units of vitamin d3 and that helped my quality of life immensely, after this one or 2 drops of iodine i feel like i've smoked a pound of crack. sometimes hard to sleep with all this energy when i do eventually fall asleep its a higher quality sleep. just trying to get used to having so much energy.
I had rapid heart rate on relatively little exertion when being in peak physical shape, muscle aches, and cold sensitivity at times. These all went away once I started Iodoral
Do you take Iodoral daily, what dose? Thank you
Too small! CHECK adrenal gland
I've taken 1000 mcg a day of potassium iodide for over 10 years, with some breaks. I don't have any of these problems. So some of us just have a high need, especially women.
150 mcg is extremmly low im my opinion you are really doing greatt.I lost my moon on my fingers,probly beacuse of iodine deficinecy and Now I am takign beetween 1000mcg or 1500mcg
Did you take a supplement or did you pound back seaweed and eggs? (Just curious) ... I think 1100mcgs RDI are silly, given Japan's 12 000 mcgs and are healthy.
@@barglorpJapan full of Hayshimotos disease due to high iodine intake.
@@08turboSS apparently not; and in the past they used it to treat many conditions, nodules, cysts, etc ... was also present in soils and in bread. Replaced with bromide. Japan consumes 12 to 16 grams/day and no difference in Hoshimotos cases in comparison to iodine defficient nations
@@barglorpI agree. WHEN he said that Japanese have a greater degree of hashimoto's, right away my b******* detector went off. I think he made that up. I don't know why he would make that up but I do feel sometimes Dr Berg gets in over his head. HE is a chiropractor. HE studied chiropractic which is basically dealing with the physical body; it's not dealing with all of these supplements and chemicals and biochemistry. NOT that MD's do a lot of that either but they have a type of mind that if they wanted to they could . That said I saw today on my cell phone that Dr brownstein is offering a free supplement that he has helped create himself and it has 17 different ingredients but unfortunately it only has about 200 mcg of iodine so I'm not sure why Dr Bernstein did that unless he's worried you're taking iodine elsewhere The supplement he created is called actalin and you can find out about it by calling the number 877-467-3310 and it's $5 shipping with a 30-day free supply. I may try it but I don't feel I'll be getting enough iodine from it either.
I've been taking 12 mg a day of iodine and I tried to double it and I felt a little odd so I went off it for 2 days and I will be began again with 12 milligrams.
I do think the iodine situation is more complex than were led to believe but my library refuses to order Dr brownstein's book . I don't know why they won't order it for me from Michigan because that's where he is and their library does have the book .
Dr Berg is recommending much less iodine than Dr brownstein and also much less than the other doctors that you see online presenting with Dr brownstein.
I had all those symptoms when I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism/ Graves’ disease.
Awesome info video I have low thyroid
@UC0kdLfbBOaTglWh3GzlhcqQ hello I been doing your program for a year and lost 60 pounds and I take all your products and my thyroid is low
I am taking 50 mg per Day. And IT IS not too much read book The iodine Crisis.
I think the problem is when you get iodine and u don't have enough Sellino the iodine go to another place in the body,
@@saraafify7092 for me iodine Works for perfect.
@@saraafify7092 what is sellino? Do you mean selenium?
@@saraafify7092 all our body parts needs iodine not only thyroid. ;)
@@EijaBerg5362 yes exactly
Weren't you previously talking about how the Japanese take 100% more iodine and that they were fine? Taking 1-3 MG is fine?
Yes he said that the rda of iodine is way to low and now saying this ,dr berg is confusing me
Its fine dr ken said it
Hello Dr this sounds like Graves’ disease/ hyperthyroidism too. Please do more videos about this disease 🙏🏻
Thank You Dr Berg.
No problem. Thanks for watching!
Dear Dr Berg, Thank you for the incredibly impactful education you are publishing. Should you have time, could you comment on establishing the right level of iodine, when from food alone it is not sufficient, but with sea kelp tablets, the symptoms of iodine excess develop (heart-related, in particular)? Sea kelp tablets are invaluable in managing the female cycle well without excruciating pain and the need for painkillers, and yet once these symptoms start to pop up, it is scary to keep taking them, so the question is, what to do so as to get it right and not risk long term issues one way or the other. Thank you so much, please keep up the amazing work!
Possibly, some of his videos on hormones and on female periods cycles could help ❤
It’s an amazing info thank you Mr doc 😊
I am very glad he did this. I had a thyroid condition with to much iodine , very tiring.
Hello. Can you please tell me how you decreased your iodine. Mine is high. I dont iodine rich foods!
Good video. Thank you.
I'm glad it helped you!
All this amazing stuff has been discovered yet the pharmaceutical industry is VERY uninterested in making it public information! Thankfully we all have good men like yourself who are happy to share it with everyone
It turns out that intermittent fasting, ketones and autophagy fixes just about everything.
Amazing isn’t it. 👍
@@troylynn2686 Big Pharma hate me.
Look at it in a different way. The human body repairs itself all the time, as long as you don't damage it through carbs, sugar and over eating. 😉
Pretty much
Not for everyone - F'd me up. People with chronic stress may have issues with fasting.
Very interesting thanks
Most welcome
Goodmorning Dr Berg,
I would like that you should make video on the benefits of Shia seeds,how to use them n how much par day for à weight loss?
Plz...
looking forward to your
use ful conseils .
He made at least one video on chia seeds ❤ Also some of his videos weight loss will help very fast ❤
Micrograms not milligrams ❤
Thank you Dr. Berg ⭐
Don't know what to think anymore! Who is an expert on Iodine, Dr. Brownstine or Dr. Berg? And Dr. Edward Group is one I respect a lot.
300mcg a day seems to little for sure
Dr. David Brownstein is the expert. Get his book on iodine.
Dr. Berg is a generalist, not a specialist. Go down your own rabbit holes and determine your own needs. Even working with a qualified naturopath, you need to see what works best for you.
Interesante información 😊
Hello Dr. Berg, love your videos!
Any recommendation how to stop excessive anger and stress? 😊
perhaps your blood sugar levels are off. check out berber1ne.
Counseling
Waterfast
Try taking potassium and magnesium and avoiding the things that make you angry if you can. Now foods has good magnesium powders in lemon and cherry flavors with no sugar or artificial sweeteners.
Hi Dr. Berg, first, I want to thank you for your postings, as you've helped me so much!
Question. I have hyperparathyrodism and had a gland taken out and I just take calcium. Is that all I need to keep track re iodine??
Some of his videos on the parathyroid may help. Also ensure to avoid calcium carbonate. As he mentions in a few videos.
Hashi patient here. Add chest rash to the list. Got a bad one when I took an iodine supplement. Thank you for your amazing content.
Yup I have most of the 12 symptoms and chest rash too. I wonder how much iodine comes with coffee or energy drinks, because those are my two "vices".
That's bromine detoxing out of you.
@@wtfronsson wow dude there's no iodine in that, there's actually bromine, which pushes out iodine... check out dr brownstein
Is the rash accompanied by itch or discoloration or both? Persistent or occasional?
Ya same here , I have noticed the red rashes sometimes with or without the itch( I’ve a lymph nodes)
Dr Berg, is there a difference between Vitamin D and Vitamin D3. You always recommend Vitamin D, what’s the difference? Thank you for your information. I love your videos, very useful and excellent health information. God bless you.
Great Info!
Glad you found it helpful!
Dr. Ken Berry said you can take 1-3 mg iiodibe. 150 mcg is not enough. Conflicting advice.
Potassium bromate has been put in bread for 90 or more years. I'm not sure if it still is, but the body sees bromides as invaders, and bromine is in the same chemical family as iodine. It stands to reason that breads may have caused autoimmune reactions in many of us who were once commercial bread eaters. Our bodies could very well be attacking iodine, confusing it with bromine. Fortunately, my hypothyroidism is very mild.
Doctor Thank you very much !!!!
You're most welcome!
Thanks a lot. God bless you. But how to aquire the book here in Ghana.
I love the fact that Dr. Berg explains everything in an understandable way. I added another of Dr bergs supplements to my list ( I only buy my vitamins from Dr Berg ) I added the the estrogen balance and like magic I didn't wake up sweating from hot flashes and my moods are more stable. I'm in the menapause before the actual menapause ,( I think it's called parimenapause)
why do Japanese eat 12mg of iodine and are very healthy and very low in glandular cancers?
Thank you Dr.
You're most welcome.
Dr thanks for the knowledge knowledge
Glad you found it helpful!
