![You're Iodine Deficient [with Dr. David Brownstein] Iodine Benefits](/img/n.gif)
I’ve been going to Dr Brownstein for 20 years. He’s worked wonders for my health.
Lucky you!
This comment is below every video with Brownstein - shady!
@@sarah-xr8fs She's bragging and has all the reason to do so. I wish I could fly from Germany to see him! Congratulations Ms Snyder!
@@sarah-xr8fs I live 1.5 hrs north of him, I wish he was my doctor! If I can get in to see him, I'll gladly drive that far!
Lucky you!!!
I am a huge fan of Dr Brownstein. Not only has his advice gotten me completely off all thyroid medications and feeling so much better...but he also saved all my coworkers from a nasty respiratory virus that was making us all miserable. His viral treatments really work!
Thanks for debunking all the health myths and rolling back the misinformation so we can shift toward greater health. Thanks for David Brownstein coming on. I love his story.
Dr. Ehrlich, you surely know that your last name means "honest" or "honestly", and in your podcast you're indeed living up to your name. Thanks so much for your great work!
Ever since I added unrefined salt to my lifestyle, the awful callouses on the heels of my feet went completely away and stayed away.
Excellent! Yes, a sodium deficiency will cause dry skin.
Why unrefined salt? Does it contain a particular trace mineral that softens callouses?
How much salt are you consuming?
God bless you Dr. David Brownstein for speaking the truth! Thank you for your work 🙏 great work for the interviewer too! 💚
Realize that most people do not have a salt or iodine literate physician. There's no physician in my area that fits that bill by any stretch of the imagination. I would imagine that goes true for most of the population. So for those of us who don't have a physician literate in iodine or salt as a resource, I guess we're going to have to Wing it.
Great discussion! I totally agree that the best patients are those who make a point of educating themselves. There's so much misinformation about nutrition that it is a disgrace. They touched on the reason why and I believe more people are recognizing that money is running our healthcare system not the quality of our health.
I started out as a registered dietitian in 1982 and eventually went into private practice because I felt the standards of practice were very often not helping people get better. The only exception would be the people with kidney disease. Eventually I went back to grad school and became a licensed psychotherapist because I felt that nutrition problems we're very psychologically influenced and I wasn't trained to go down that road. The combination of the two is fantastic.
I greatly appreciate Dr. Brownstein and all of the open minded docs who interview him. His message is based in science as well as decades of experience. As he has said, he's not treating paper he's treating people. He was referring to labwork alone driving treatment. If a person is obviously improving and they have strange lab work, how they feel and function should always be a major consideration! Don't expect your conventional doctor to agree with that.
Thank you Dr. Brownstein for sharing your knowledge. I had two goiters on my neck the size of golf balls. Didn’t know why my neck was so bulky until I stumbled upon your videos. Got the iodine drops and in 2 days the golf balls have went down significantly. I’m sooooo grateful for your love to share.
May God continue to bless and protect you and your family. Much Love ❤
One day I’ll be able to make you my doctor. Peace ✌🏽
Just clarifying that the size of the salt crystal doesn't determine if it's refined or not. Both come in various GRIND sizes including: powdered, fine, regular, flaked and coarse.
Thank you for that. I guess if it is refined it will be labelled as such.
I would like to know what Dr. Brownstein thinks about the theory that pharmaceutical companies are adding products/compounds/chemicals that can cause both old and new diseases. Not only in prescription drugs, but OTC drugs, and vaccines as well. Also, does he think genetically modified foods play a role in contracting/creating illnesses and/or in the vast number of diseases we see today? (Example: Autism)
I don't trust conventional doctors. Thank you for your hard work and actually caring for people
You mean scamming people who don’t know better? Ok ok let me give you a few nutrients that you might be deficient in that every other doctor on earth would do, then let me sell you books and newsletters that fall in line with your pre-conceived world view.
46:00 BINGO!!! Everyone is irritated here….I will NEVER trust the CDC again
Hi Ron, thanks for the video! Dr Brownstein is my absolute favorite!
ORRECTIIN: it was Dr Ken Berry interviewed Dr Brownstein ( on another video I saw tonight).
THANK YOU DR. KEN BERRY. ❗️& Dr BROWNSTEIN ❗️
Please don't ever mention sodium without mentioning POTASSIUM‼ Most people are even more deficient in POTASSIUM than sodium ‼They are synergistic‼
I need loads of potassium to feel normal
I love Dr Brownstein❤❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏
Thanks for spreading truth. I don't know a physician who is salt or iodine knowledgeable. I can't even get them to test for more than the TSH (I finally tested myself). My hope is that just *maybe* doctors will finally stop the dangerous misinformation they use to "treat" patients (and make us sicker).
Wow. I needed this. I went 6 yrs without adding salt. [years ago]
Oh those were TOTALLY MESSED UP YEARS.
Right now I have horrid outbreak of Folliculitis. (On scalp. I’m 70. With history of that since I was 11).
I watched a Dr Brownstein show with Dr Berg ( just b4 i am seeing this video).
I have Standard Process (old bottle) Iodine Tablets. I took 3/4 of a Tablet last hour.
••• I will be listening to these 2 videos again - Dr Berg & this one.
•Last few years I’ve been using Pink Morton’s Himalayan Salt.
• I want so much for EVERYONE TO EAT RIGHT// STOP POISONING.
••• THANK YOU - for giving us this INFO. PRECIOUS INFO FOR PRECIOUS PEOPLE.
THANKS BE TO GOD FOR TIMES ARE CHANGING FOR THE BETTER. 💖
Thank You For Helping Us All 🫡🥰
Please be careful about Berg just found out very dark information it’s not good I no longer listen to him. 😢
@@wendyg.3952What did you find out? Once I saw a video by his alleged son who was accusing him of being greedy and mean.
But, Berg seems not to be teaching anything too different than another wholistic practitioner. I didn’t want to reject him based on a single disgruntled son video. I don’t have a way of knowing who’s right in that conflict, and Berg never addressed it that I am aware.
@@wanderinghome9979
No perfect human being
@@wendyg.3952 Wait, are you saying Dr.Berg found some _"very dark information"_ and shared it with his viewers? Or that *you* found something about *him* but you're keeping it secret?
@@wendyg.3952
I have heard the same thing about Dr. Berg being accused by his son (for l am not sure what exactly). But as someone who was treated by Dr. Berg in his office here in Falls Church, VA for years, and as someone who has personally referred well over a hundred people over a decade (most of whom were greatly helped through his service), l would caution what you are saying or implying here. If you are to meet actual (physical) Dr. Berg patients (not the thousands he's now helping online), you will be hard to find one who doesn't sing his praises. A lot of the information he has been trying to pass on to his patients has been corroborated or is being corroborated just now by other doctors (though he has been saying it for 20 years). That he is a Scientologist or how much money he gave to his church is of no concern to me. Judge the man on the information he is giving you and how well that works for you. Though he is a Chiroproctor, I believe he is one of the most important holistic nutritionist in the US and one who has helped a lot of people (that l personally know). I don't need to say this but I happened to come across this comment and l was just not going to pass it without responding to it. You are welcome to contact me privately if you have a question.
I love Dr Brownstein!!
Start off your day with a teaspoon of water from a pint of fresh spring water with 5 tablespoons of Redmond salt which has sat on table for 5 days in advance. I put it in a 16 ounce stainless steel cup. Great hydration before you eat anything in morning
Why does the salt have to sit on the table for 5 days prior to use??
Good question @@tanyawieczorek6603
How does one stomach 5 tablespoons of salt?
@@caroloshea7830you don’t. You take a teaspoon from a one pint mixture containing five tablespoons of salt.
Thank you so much Dr Brownstein, I am such a fan and now a patient of your practice and soooooo relieved to have doctors like you 🥰❤️🥳
A teaspoon of salt (your recommendation) is directly in line with government RDIs. That is 5000mg. Approx 2000 mg of sodium and 3000 mg of chloride. One biologist stated “we evolved out of the sea, and we took the sea with us”.
It all makes sense. When my husband gets dehydrated and gos to the doctor. They put him on bags of saline. He feels better and they send him home.
i've been on a low-carb diet for 2 years. 95% home made meals. recently started having calf cramps. i think i might be low on salt.
Could be low sodium, magnesium, and or low potassium. A vitamin b3 deficiency can cause it also. Drinking an organic apple cider vinegar that has “the Mother” in water might help eliminate the calf cramp. Dr. Berg has a few videos about calf cramps.
@@Lots3say thanks. i'll try the ACV. going for blood tests next week. hopefully results will show if i'm low in electrolytes.
it's crazy how salt has been demonized. mentioned salt to a friend, he said, "Salt is terrible for you."
@@chuckleezodiac24just know your body is REALLY good at maintaining electrolyte balance. Unless you’re very sick, it won’t show up in your blood work. A hair tissue mineral analysis is closer to what’s going on with your electrolytes and bones.
Many people doing low carb/keto/carnivore and experiencing leg cramps have used the supplement/product LMNT to good results. It contains sodium, potassium and magnesium in a good ratio. Just sharing info so you can know options.
edit - it is a bit pricey, so if that would prevent you from trying it, their website shares the recipe and you can make your own with the ratios if you buy the single nutrients
@@w1975b thanks! i appreciate all the help. after watching this video, i started taking 1 tbsp of iodized sea salt with water every morning & at bedtime. the problem with my calf went away! hasn't bothered me in 2 or 3 weeks. hopefully it's gone for good.
16:56 priceless reaction :)
Yes, the ugh after mentioning Rory Collins defending the beneficial use of statins without releasing the data. Big red flag!
It blessed my heart when you acknowledged first nations people. We in the U.S. and Canada have been sooo destructive to them and their culture that the least we can do is honour them now as they are a brave and resilient people from whom we have much to learn.
Thank you for this enlightening podcast! I shall get my levels checked!
Wowwww!!!!!
I've heard that this was surrounded by mythical info. I thank you for this interview.
Could have been 10 minutes long.
Hi from Adelaide, thank you 🙏🏻
Note Ron, Your sound level is so low that putting my volume to the top still left you sounding weak and David will sound too loud.
Important feedback. To have guest not deafen me I couldn't hear host.
Ive had so much problem last few months. Could not afford Appointment to adjust my Hearing AIDS. Finally made Appointment ON CREDIT.
DID NOT NEED 65$ Adjustment.
After Professional Cleaning
I can hear videos !
Glad. 🙏🏼✨
My husband has high blood ptessure should he take salt.
Where might one locate an iodine literate doctor?
Health food store or online
@@robertaaugustini4091 Greetings Thank you I was hoping for a referral/recommendation. I live in Maine
Your best bet. Is to educate yourself.. ❤
Naturopathic MD
So you said very few people have a salt sensitivity and it's rare. Well, I'm one of them and it freakin' sucks!!!
Great talk Ron. You can't get Dr Brownsteins books from his website in Australia as he only ships to the US. I've found some on some online book stores. It's difficult to find a holistic/functional medical practitioner in Australia. Do you know if there is any way to search for them on the internet?
I’m in the US, but I follow a couple of AUS docs that may be able to help you.
Paul Mason, M.D.
Anthony Chaffee, M.D.
Gary Fettke, M.D.
There’s a great one who interfaces with John Campbell often, but I can’t remember his name at the moment.
Anyway, perhaps a call to one of their offices might yield some ideas. Good luck.
Ahhh… it might not be a good lead, but
Robert Clancy
Dr Mason is really good.
There are heaps of wholistic and functional doctors in Australia, but even some of those are no good.
@@karenf9137Chaffe is not Australian.
We need to pay our respects to GOD
🙌
I thank God for putting the right people in my life when I need it, like now😂😂😂. Love dr brownstein
It’s the law of attraction.. cause and effect..a universal law.. works for everyone regardless of your belief in deity.. just saying…
?? Who the füĉķ is that ?
How do cell salts/plasma salts fit into this equation?
Thank you I have thyroid problem for a lot time I just purchased iodine solution and I have not use it yet . However I’m hoping I can have good result and I can get rid of this Synthroid medication I’m on for a long time .
When starting iodine, companion nutrients are essential to help the body detoxify from the bad halides like bromide and fluoride. In Dr Brownstein’s book he mentions Magnesium, selenium, vitamin c and vitamin B are needed when taking iodine.
Iodine wakes up your thyroid. If you get discomfort, it’s because your thyroid is inflamed even before taking iodine. Certain foods, a lack of magnesium, selenium, inflammatory foods (soy, wheat, milk), little sleep, excessive stress, etc. all contribute to that.
Stop iodine and address those things first if you get that discomfort.
I'm certainly going to take it now😊
How are you doing now🤔have u started taking it
Is sea salt ok
I don’t have 1 dr. That even asks how much iodine i take and i have hypothyroidism and hypertension nor does my heart dr. Say anything about using unrefined salt, so what good are they, tell me??? They work for the man not the people. They don’t care about the patient just the money. All of this has to change. People need to wake up and question these people. Your health is in your own hands and how many of us know how to manage our own health, very few.
but today food have alot of Salt...a yougurte, ice scream, pizza, cereals, bread, hamburger have salt, ...we cannot eat more
Anyone here ever tried Blue Salt for adrenal fatigue?
Is doctor Brownstein still alive?
Yes. Thankfully.
My wife seems to have joint pains with salt...
I wonder if she's detoxing fluoride. Many people have said when they reduce their fluoride exposure or detox it, they no longer have "arthritis".
Many salts are very high in sodium and don’t contain enough other electrolytes to balance the fluid in the body. There is a Pink Potassium salt that is
lpw sodium and high potassium which would be a healthier balance. Also, Some foods like potatoes, spinach, chard, collards, seeds, nuts and grains contain Oxalic acid (oxalate). Oxalates are notorious for disrupting disrupting electrolyte balance in the body. When a person is low on magnesium or calcium, the Oxalic acid turns to Oxalate crystals in the body and cause congestion. Salts are not only sodium but also potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride are also salts.
Salt is not good for you..why you can't drink ocean water..every see a salted Cod? It is rock like
My restless leg syndrome was caused by coffee and caramel, not by a salt insufficiency.
Coffee and sugar causes vascular dehydration which leads to cramping and neuropathy. Salt helps bring and hold more fluid into the vascular system. Coffee is a diuretic which in-turn depleats salts in the body.
If coffee has caffeine, it is a diuretic which washes sodium out of the body. Also, carbohydrates (sugar) require salt to be processed by the body. Or on the 2nd part, I may be wrong. I know the first part is correct. I just know that when I've consumed a lot of sweet stuff in the past, I then have the need for something salty to make myself feel better.
Thank you 😊 for being honest! That's so helpful for the doctor to figure out what's really going on in your body!
Your silly land acknowledgements are beyond ridiculous virtue signaling btw
Loads of BS!!!
Really and your the pro so tells us more ?
Why don't we compare your references to all the references in the 16 books Dr. Brownstein has written. Conventional medicine doesn't want integrative medicine to interfere with its profits. That has been an ongoing reality for a very long time.
I've been a dietitian since 1982 and progressed to becoming an integrative dietitian with a ton of physiological chemistry to back what I know, and I haven't heard either of these doctors say anything that doesn't match up to science.
@@miriamlandau1207 My references are from Dr Klaper, Dr N Barnard, Dr C Campbell, Dr Esseltyn, etc.... Not saying no salt is needed, just very small amount unless you are an athlete and sweat a lot. So much salt in ultra processed food is so detrimental. Refined salt is a killer, I only use unrefined sea salt sparsely. Greetings from France
@@natgarrison2300Colin Campbell cherry-picked his data. Before the invention of hydrocortisone Addison's patients were maintained on high doses of salt.
@@natgarrison2300they ade high carb. So yes. They hold salt. Most these people are kero. Which they really should mention.
