I initially started with 4 drops, but after a while it was too much as I was feeling tired. Following J Crow's recommendation and starting with 2 drops twice a week now.

I'm a Vietnam Vet-used iodine tablets when I filled my canteen from a stream. Our drinking water was also treated back at base camp with iodine. Nasty tasting water. Slept on the ground for a year in the rain sometimes soaking wet--never sick a day, not even a cold and I was a heavy smoker then. I always thought it must have been the iodine.

As a fellow family physician who also stayed open during the pandemic, I feel the pain and lingering caution that Dr. Brownstien displayed. I watched as many holistic and nutritional healers had their platforms taken down, suffer from ridicule and some seemed to just disappear. Its one reason why I refrained from being on social media discussing the many modalities that we used to help people through the pandemic. It was a very bizarre time in medicine. Currently we are bringing this awareness into the 22 year old practice along with bio-identical hormone replacement at a very high level. Dr. Brownstiens work is very much discussed and greatly appreciated by our colleagues and his books are required reading. I would also like to say that we are all very fortunate to have a healer like Judy Cho who uses her training and wisdom on this platform to help people heal. I appreciate her and will continue to always have an open mind when listening to this great source of information. Thanks 🙏🏽 JC!

I had polycystic ovary disease. I went to many doctors and was prescribed so many types of birth control pills, cancer medication, Metformin, and the list goes on. I almost had a hysterectomy because of how heavy the flow was. I had become severely anemic. It was crazy and I felt trapped. I can't remember what KZread video I was watching, but it was recommended to try iodine for breast tenderness. Some little voice in the back of my head sent me to dig deeper into that comment. I ended up reading the book iodine crisis. It took about seven months and now I'm in my forties and finally having a normal monthly cycle. It's completely crazy and there's a part of me that's very upset at today's medical system. All I needed was iodine!! I am in my mid forties and now can have children but that ship has sailed.

Population reduction.

Im having tears in my eyes listening to this interview. Half-way through and I feel hopeful. I was diagnosed with Graves at the age of 19 but I could see on my ID photo that I had a goiter at the age of 16! Had a thyroidectomy within a week of being diagnosed. I am not almost 50 and have been on thyroxine for almost 30 years. I am on the carnivore way of life for the last 60 days. Feeling so so so much better. Asthma under control, no more 40 sneezes in a row so off my antihistamine, joint pain gone, fantastic sleep etc etc. But: I have lost a lot of hair and I am still feeling tired at times. I have about 15kg to lose and a lifetime of bad habits to undo but I do feel I am missing something. Might it be iodine? I am a pharmacist and my doctor is not impressed with me for being on the carnivore diet. He says I should know better being a pharmacist. I am refusing cholesterol meds and actually did not get it re-tested at all. Last year when I started eating Keto, my thyroid levels were all over the place, TSH low, T4 and T3 high and my antibodies are still high after all these years. My meds were reduced and I felt like utter rubbish. I increased my dose back to 100mcg eventually. So I think I need to settle for another month of full carnivore and then get all these things tested, including iodine. There are a lot of advice and resources for people WITH a thyroid, but none for us that had a total thyroidectomy. I appreciate this interview.

I remember when I was in first grade we were given "thyroid pills". Some kids hated the taste and wouldn't eat them, but I loved the taste and would eat mine plus 4 or 5 extra. At this same time, flouride in toothpaste and water was introduced. Also, iodine was removed from baked goods and put into salt. Margarine & Crisco was all the rage; but, thankfully, my family favored butter and lard.

I remember thyroid pills in grade school too. I kind of think it had to do with the threat of nuclear war. We did drills for that, too. Anyway, I’ve taken Synthroid since I was 25. Nothing to do with iodine, but our grade school also had a “Swish” program in which the students rinsed with half a Dixie cup of fluoride once a week, then spit it out then put a napkin into the cup. I’ve had about five root canals and multiple fillings…but no agency ever followed up after HS, so great study.

The medicinal ingredients indicates that each milliliter contains 50 mg of iodine and 100 mg of potassium iodide. The bottle doesn't indicate whether it's 2% or 5% so I called the company and they confirmed it was 5%. The bottle does not include a dropper however I've purchased a glass bottle and a dropper from a local health store. Hope that helps the Canadians.

I live in the UK. I was put on thyroxin after feeling poorly and out of sorts for years. I was also menopausal! And I was Struggling to recover from a heavy early dose of covid. I feel so much better. I also started on HRT patches to see how they affected me. I have been working on my immune system through diet. The thyroxin is low dose and when the Dr’s do a 3 month prescription re-check I asked to get my levels checked - the answer is ‘we don’t routinely do this’ I’ve tried each Dr and offered to pay. How can they continue to prescribe without checking my levels? I have finally got someone at the practice to get these done (pharmacist prescriber) and I’m waiting on the results.

6 years ago I was given a 5% chance of living past 5 years at my cancer diagnosis and my treatment had to be ended early as I was too ill to complete it. When I got out of the hospital I did loads of research and Iodine was the standout thing and have been taking it ever since. I never asked what my odds of surviving were after not completing my treatment but they would be worse in theory I would imagine. Anyway still here and maybe I got lucky but I wouldn't bet against the Iodine helping me.

This is such an excellent podcast. As a retired nurse with Hashimotos I am sending it to a few also retired nurse friends. Love dr Bronstein and his sharing about his own father. I will be more earnest about taking my Lugol’s so I can share it with my endocrinologist next month. Think you are both right on about many things. Thank you!

@akbananachucker2441 , Take it n an empty stomach, works better. I put 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar in Glass water, 25 min before meal. I take it before bed . Helps me sleep like a baby

I started adding iodine to my Epsom soaks. I also add sea salt and soak for 20 minutes or more. I leave the water in the tub to increase the humidity and allow the minerals to diffuse a little into the air. I don't know how much im getting but it sure feels good!

I picked up a old little book titled: Folk Medicine by D.C.Jarvis M.D. written in 1958. More than 3 Million Copies Sold on front cover. For some old time wisdom, it's a gold mine. Chapter 11 The Importance of Iodine is a must read. He talks of using Lugol's Solution. "There is a well known law of halogen displacement. This means that any one of the four can displace the element with the higher weight, but cannot displace an element with a lower atomic weight." Relative Atomic Weight is as follows, Fluorine 19., Chlorine 35.5, Bromine 80, Iodine 127, IE. Fluorine can displace all of the other 3 halides because it is the smallest size. Needless to say Iodine gets displaced by the other 3 halides because it is the biggest in size. Personally i would recommend taking your Iodine first thing upon waking up, probably your most fasted state and having your body with the longest daily window of detoxing the other halides. A recommended method is 12 oz water or more with a tsp of apple cider vinegar, stir in your Lugol's drop amount. I actually think it makes for an enjoyable drink. Another thing i read somewhere is that all wheat flour has bromate in it since about the 80's when they switched out iodine. The only flour that doesn't have it will state that the flour is unbromated on the ingredient list otherwise it is. Another thing, all animal products are low in Fluorine, the most dominate of all halides, i'd say because all animals are trying to detox themselves of it like we are. Plants absorb Fluorine from the soil and water and just continue to accumulate hence plant foods have the highest levels. Fluorine is more toxic then lead but not as toxic as cyanide. Google search. 97% of Europe does not fluoridate there water because Flourine has no biological benefit to do so. Also Chlorine in your water will stop absorbtion of Iodine. Another method of getting your iodine is putting it on your skin, i can't remember how fast it disappears as to how much you would need to reapply. Also iodine can remove skin tags, warts and other skin things.

I started iodine in mid December after months of feeling as if something was stuck in my throat (sort of like feeling peanut butter stuck). I also suffered constipation, cold feet and hair loss. High blood pressure and more. The iodine completely got rid of that weird lump in the throat feeling, and no more cold feet. However, I did just take a full thyroid panel and everything was normal except the TSH elevated at 7.3. I believe Dr. Brownstein answered my exact question about this. He mentioned being idoine deficient and then taking it that sometimes you will see elevated TSH. I found this fascinating. I am curious to check it again in about 3 months eating clean carnivore and taking my iodine. THANK YOU!

Years back a long term carnivore reported that Dr. Ken Berry had her start doing Iodine supplementation. She reported breast/ nipple tenderness going back years. This self report was in conflict of numerous times saying she had no health issues over the years. I saw him years ago and started supplementing Iodine. The Goiter Belt goes all the way to the coast line of the Pacific Northwest states of Washington & Oregon. Kinda skews the seafood cured Iodine deficiency hypothesis. The Goiter belt does not extend into the central US above 100 miles above the coast. I think something introduced into our diet conflicts with Iodine in our bodies. Hmm… he notes how Iodine competes / conflicts with Bromide & Fluoride in human receptors at the cellular level. Bromide is a dough conditioner that has been in the diet for 100+ years. Fluoride has been in municipal water for about the same time. Hmmmmmmm

I would really like to connect with a doctor that would get me on the right track and keep me there. I really appreciate this video and am looking forward to purchasing the doctors book.

I had been on thyroid medication for about 25 years when I saw your previous segments with Dr. Brownstein and another person about a year ago. I had my doctor do the blood test for iodine, and it was below the lab's normal range. I dropped my medication and ramped up to 50 mg of iodine, then after a month went in for TSH, T3, and T4 tests. Initially my TSH went super high as you described, but the T3 and T4 were in the normal range without medication. After 3 months the TSH came back down and the T3 and T4 stayed normal. I asked my GP why doctors didn't test for iodine or suggest iodine supplementation before putting people on medication. He smiled and said it was a good question. Now I'm down to a 12.5 mg tablet, but think I'll go back to 25 mg based on Dr. Brownstein's advice.

Some people are more sensitive than others to the displacement effect of bromine, so how fast to ramp up would depend on how you feel. I noticed that it has an almost amphetamine like effect - I felt noticeably more lucid at higher doses. Once I stopped using the liquid, I started putting one drop a day in my dog's human keto food diet. She's a 14 year old golden retriever who's still doing well.

I have been taking iodine since 2014. I had to start small with the drops but worked my way up to 50mg (Iodoral or Lugotab) over about 18 months due to some herx reactions at first (skin splits, etc). Read the literature. I also take the ATP cofactors (b2 and b3). We also filter the fluoride out of our water to avoid the competition with the iodine receptors. Feel great! I am a 70yo female

Also, at 70, you are my hero! Never stop learning, never give up!!!❤❤❤

Dr. Brownstein: I think you would enjoy meeting my favorite chiropractor for a long lunch some weekend, Dr R.E. (Randy) Tent of Novi, Mich. Despite his lousy diet by my standards, he's an incredible physical specimen with loads of experience helping patients recover from conditions considered hopeless by their Beaumont physicians simply by loading them up his his nutritional supplements. His dad, like yours, suffered from overmedication. He has a wonderful sense of humor too. Some of his 2-hr video lectures may still be archived on youtube and Rumble before covid changed everything.

No one ever talks about the importance of Iodine in our lives! Thank you Dr. Brownstein and Judy for this life-saving information. The only organic Lugol’s I found on Amazon also contains potassium iodide! Can you recommend an organic brand that only contains iodine? Would it be okay to buy it with potassium iodide? I need to get it right away! I have fibrocystic disease and a highly suspicious lump in my breast, which I’m treating as malignant by following Chris Wark’s Cancer coaching program Square One, since I do not intend to seek conventional cancer treatment. Because of that I try to use only organic food and supplements. Could you recommend any?

Good to see you again Dr B! Still taking the iodoral you perscribed 20+ years ago! Go BLUE

I love how thoughtful and intelligent Judy’s questions are in her podcasts. Yes I’m detoxing for just a few drops of Lugol’s in this last week. That means it’s working but i need to temper it.

Definitely had a big detox but I followed the recommendations from the Iodine Crisis book (in sync with Dr Brownstein) and that helped. 50 mg was the only amount that helped me get rid of some cysts I had on my head. They came out, insane.

Thankyou so much for interviewing Dr Brownstein. Why don't doctor's put people on iodine first and observe their finding's before putting them on thyroxine forever? Stating the obvious.......

Life changing. I think this is lowering my need for thyroid med cause i am quickly feeling over medicated

Both my son's had flouride treatments at the dentists regularly. But their cavities kept coming. Then i stopped the treatments and like magic they stopped getting cavities! Years later i mentioned this to a guy who said that he experienced the same thing when he quit flouride. So, i believe it's unnecessary for preventing cavities.

What the... I had a thyroidectomy due to large swelling. Not once was I offered iodine prior to operation. Now I'm on thyroxine , can I come off it and go on iodine or kelp? I'm in UK iodine is banned. I'm so confused 😕

Very nice video! Thank you! I began taking Lugol`s last week but decided to pause it because of pain in my neck/throat. Was taking about 2.5mg per day at the end of the week. I am not sure it is because of Lugol's, not to scare anyone, it is just a precaution on my part, so it is good to watch a reassuring video. However, what I still do not understand is, why do we need so much of it? If we need the 25mg (or 50mg) in the long run, but require only 5 mg for our daily functional needs, where does the rest go? Even with toxicities from bromide, this is still not logical to me. To displace daily bromide I would guess we would need the same amount of iodine, or twice as much, which would be about 0.6 mg / day. Would be great if you could hone in on that question in one of the next interviews. Edit: just got the Guide from Judy (pinned), it explains all of this pretty good. Also, I didn't know that other symptoms i had: eye lid twitching, anxiety could also be the detox symptoms (runny nose I suspected).

I take 25 MG a day and have not noticed a thing. Now, I did get really sick after starting the iodine. Neck pain, arm pain, hip, back, ankle, constipation and hemorrhoids. BUT, I am also earing carnivore and the same time I started taking iodine I gave up coffee and dairy. As it turns out I was oxilate dumping. I added once cup of decaf a day and a small amount of dairy and my symptoms went away. I never stopped the iodine. Also, in the interview he says that if you have any symptoms stop taking it, up your salt for a few weeks then try again. Maybe that would work for you.

Thanks about the salt water, I have already started taking it. I get less pains now, but, as I said, I am still not 100% sure it is from iodine.

I have read his works and watched every interview he has been in, but that has never been touched on and it seems the nutrient(A, C, B, etc) would be more for those on a more standard higher carb diet.

@@NutritionwithJudy that is very helpful and was kind of what I was thinking as well. I know the salt loading is important regardless of the type of eating for moving out the toxi halides. I have done the hakala labs loading test, straight from the company, and it is such a wealth of information. I couldn't afford the bromine testing, but based off symptoms I know I am detoxing from that so making sure I do the salt loading for sure. I will not worry too much about the companion nutrients since I am carnivore. I might email Dr. Brownstein and pick his brain too. Thanks for the reassurance.

What about the issues with dosing between 15&45mg? I’ve heard the 12.5 is safe for everyone but if you’re battling something like Hashimoto’s you want to be at a minimum of 45-50mg or higher. Having a dosage between 15-45mg can cause problems. I believe it was Elizabeth Wright who brought this up.

Hello from the UK. Interesting interview thank you. I've been using lugals 5% on various locations on my skin over the last couple of weeks and have ordered 12.5mcg ioderol. Though I do have fibrous breast tissue I probably should take more. I also have primary lymphoedema. Does anyone know if there's any data on iodine and lymphoedema?

I was diagnosed with under active thyroid in 2004 , after years of fatigue . I ve been taking 75 mg thyroxine since 2004 . I'm 71 but still regularly get hot flashes , which I've had since beginning menopause at 48 . I assumed the flashes were due to menopause but could there be a connection with the thyroid or the levothyroxine . You mentioned bromide ...could that cause hot flashes . ? Can anyone advise please ?

What is the natural thyroid hormones? Thank you.

Is the low iodine levels in the soil true of the northern shores of the Great Lakes too, i.e. Canada?
