@@kayyr.9909 nothing is safe or good in the USA hehe. I'm scottish, and scotttish and Irish seawead is good. Mayhe it was Dill seaweed also. But she did mention kelp
Iodine is also a fantastic topical healer for cuts, burns, insect bites, acne, rashes, etc. While it is a very effective topical antibiotic, it actually just promotes healing faster than anything else.
Yes I totally agree. I was drunk in a festival in Spain once having danced in my trainers with no socks on, and the friction had blistered all the skin on my toes. I painfully made my way to the first aid tent the next morning and they clipped off the remaining hanging dead skin, and applied iodine on my feet. The speed that my feet healed up was nothing short of miraculous.
Recently started taking iodine and I have more energy than ever! I was thinking thyroid, but when you mentioned balancing estrogen, - bingo! I've always suffered from estrogen dominance as has every woman in generations. No wonder I feel so good! As always, you give such great advice and you don't have to have an hour video to educate us. Thanks!
@@TheLamboLady I'm 160 lb and just starte taking 12.5 mg/day a few weeks ago. In capsules with the 3 forms of iodine. I know! So many issues. Did you know they breed chickens, turkeys and salmon to be estrogen dominant, so when they feed them soy they get hungry, lazy and fatter quicker. If I eat soy or flax, same effect. I have a farmer who started raising chickens soy-free and they were only 3 lb instead of 8 lb at 8 weeks. They were more active and healthier too.
Dr. Berg, I thank you so much. My son was diagnosed with dermhoid. A lump over his left collarbone. We went to 2 specialists and both said only surgery could be the solution. You could see and feel the lump. After using kelp and dulse with most of his food (we ended up using it in the family coz if one lacks it, we may all do since we eat the same food for the most part), it significantly went away in like a month or so. Now, we cant see nor feel it. Even the doctor who said it might not go away, was happy to inform us that he does not need to come for every 3 months visits and ultrasound. We are still told to com every 6 months just to get him checked and no ultrasound still is needed. GOD's purpose for your life to share awesome health information is working so well to many people. I myself fast (though currently in a plateau), and it works not just for losing weight but feeling healthy. Thank you. May GOD protect and bless you and your family!
Dr Berg I thought I should let you know, after watching this video on the weekend, I went to buy some iodine liquid yesterday, I went to three pharmacies,, one of which has been established for over a 100 yrs and a nationwide chain, then a well known nationwide natural health food chain and finally a family run chemist, on my highstreet, here in the UK. The lady in the health food shop said when I asked where I could find the iodine in the store she said "there is a big problem getting any, nobody has any" the next pharmacist in the long established chemists looked at me like I was asking for the Holy Grail and finally I got the answer from the family chemists, she didn't have any, I asked what the issue was with getting iodine, she said "its been removed " my reply "why? it k!lls germs!" the answer "anything that is beneficial and works has been removed" she looked equally as frustrated. Imagine everyone on planet earth took this as a supplement! there woul be no illness or cancer and no p@andemics. .....
Yes i couldn't find it either. Pharmacist said they don't have it anymore. We bought a large bottle for our horse at a feed store. Idk if it can be taken internally tho?
@@JJ-jl1ge I had RAI ablation of the thyroid then took full replacement synthetic thyroid hormone for 12yrs. I felt lousy when I was on levothyroxine, so I titrated off over a 18-month period. Without the levothyroxine suppressing the release of TSH by the hypothalamus my body started producing thyroxine on its own. Instead of taking the synthetic hormone ingested iodine, selenium and zinc - what the body needs to produce thyroxine. It took many months but I got to the other side. I don't know if it's a journey for everyone, but I pray that your daughter finds what works for her.
@@JJ-jl1ge I trusted an Endocrinologist in 2008, and was given two choices for the Grave's Disease I developed just nine months after my first flu shot (not sure if it's related but today's revelations about those shots; could be related as having weakened my immune system). I chose Radioactive Iodine over surgical removal. Either way; I'd be on thyroid hormone replacement for the rest of my life. I was foolhardy, to say the least. My trust in medical was misplaced. I should have sought-out a holistic/natural type doctor. 13 years later my niece would do just this after a diagnoses of Hashimotos. My niece through diet, vitamins, herbs, etc, was cured. Yes, cured. The Clinic had a protocol to follow which would lead to a lifetime of maintenance; enriching the Clinics, and Big Pharma. I regret my choice now that I know how our Medical System has been corrupted. Please do the leg-work for your daughter. Life is too short to let it become even shorter with their medical protocols that cure nothing and only prolong everything; eventually worsening. Just my opinion, and experience. May GOD bless you and your daughter, and I pray to Archangel Raphael for a healing to be found for your daughter. Added Note: I had the very fast heartbeat, too. I was given a serious drug called Methimazole that caused my thyroid to produce less hormone. The side effects were not good but I did this for nine months following the diagnosis - per the Endocrinologist Protocol. I then went for the Radioactive Iodine, per his suggestion that the Grave's antibodies wouldn't stop being produced which is why he went this other route for those nine months. Sometimes; the period of time on Methimazole will result in the Grave's going away, or so the doctor told me. The Methimazole did slow down my heartbeat. I was still, quite sick. The Radioactive Iodine burned my thyroid and pretty much killed it. Those antibodies then took-off for my shins (created scars that were truly scary - but no bleeding). The shin disease cleared up after a year. The antibodies also took-off for my eye sockets, which is painful. It did some damage, and bugged-my eyes out a bit. After a year of this, it went into remission which I went into an MRI Center to get an Orbital MRI to see how it was progressing, or if it'd gone into remission. It's hard to do the right thing but if you do research, and find a natural type doctor; there may be help, and a cure that is not surgical or Radioactive.
Years ago there was more of a goiter problem. We were given iodine tablets at school. I liked the taste, many did not. Perhaps then was when they started adding iodine to refined salt? Father talked about having gum problems in his 20s. Dentist insisted on pulling teeth and obtaining dentures. He refused. Rubbed iodine on his gums /not recommended at the time. Had all his own teeth till almost 90.
We were given Iodine tablets in school ( I liked them as well ). It was to prevent a thyroid problem called GOITER. Do a Google search. Not as pevelent these days because of the addition of iodine to our table salt
Dr. Berg, you have helped me and my husband a lot with those very important messages. Since about 2 years I just put your name on youtube and always find the right help from your videos. Last year in July we startet Keto and IF., one meal a day. I lost 22 kg, now I am on 60 kg. I mostly avoided carbs, no take away, but ate very less fat, which was my problem. I thank you very much, you are the best Doctor ! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Real fat is not a problem ie, butter, cream the fat on meats, fatty fish like salmon, and oily fish. It's the 'vegetable' oils and 'seed' oils that are the problem, sunflower, corn oil, rapeseed, nut oils. (Extra virgin cold pressed olive oil is ok in moderation) Natural animal fats are good for you. Trans fats, hydrogenated fats etc are very bad for you. Stay natural, and read NINA TIECHOLZ 's book about oils it'll open your eyes on why to stay well away . 👍😉
My daughter has an underactive thyroid. She has started taking iodine. Gradually building up to 3 drops at night over 3 weeks. 15%lugols. She is feeling the benefit
@aprilllc3622 she has not followed the GP advice. She does not want to take thyroxine. She was on it a year with no benefit. GP wanted to increase the strength. She had read up on Thyroxine, and she decided not to take it.
Dr. Berg just said anyone with hypothyroid should not take iodine, my question is why? Any info on this would be appreciated. I need to get off of levothyroxine. ❤️🙏
I have been diabetic for over 13 years. I am also struggling with my weight, weighing 96kg, and im 46 yeras old. I developed aome outburst of painful boil like growths that comes out and after some days dries up leaving a black spot on my skin. It was ao irritating and painful. My doctor called it cellulitis.. and gave me some antibiotics which I took but it didn't stop. I have had a fibroid surgery 4 years ago and also started noticing an increase in my period. I started taking lugols solution in water.. for some weeks now, my period last month reduced, not as heavy as the peevious months. Secondly, the cellulitis or painful boil like growth has stopped. I will be more consistent on this to see how my recovery goes. Thank you
Another benefit I noticed after taking iodine in my water for a month now, my breasts didn't feel heavy or painful during my period this time. I no longer struggle to sleep, I sleep better ..... Iodine is so good. Just in one month I have seen good benefits. I will keep updating as I continue taking it. I will increase the quantity gradually in this second month to see how it goes. 💃💃💃💃💃❤❤
@@queenchima6897Thankyou for this comment it gives me hope. I also suffer for those boil spots that leave dark marks on the skin. I have a curvy figure and heavy chest. I have started taking iodine solution in water with the supplements and hope to see a difference. I will also try Keto to help. Some girls seem to have higher risk on those type of things . I have seen a slight reduction in one since taking it for a few days. If there’s any way we can reduce cancer cells and make our lives happier and healthier we should start.. Thanks for your comment.
Same in Poland. However you need to check do they add a proper form of iodine. Three are places when you have addet potassium iodate instead potassium iodide.
We also add a good amount of fluoride in the water, which has been shown in studies to diminish IQ by at least a standard deviation in large populations.
In the States, iodine is added to table salt, along with anti-caking agents, so no one eats table salt anymore. It's sea salt or Himalayan pink salt or black salt, which all have additional minerals. Just not iodine.
From 5 years ago I am tired of saying and advising people about this amazing substance. I used to say that iodine is the most important element and is the first treatment for almost every disease. This video confirmed what I said and my research. Thank you, Doctor, for confirming my information. Many thanks to you.
This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health. He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way. I just love learning from his simple to understand videos.. I respect this man immensely. 👏👏👏
ive been takings Lugols on/off for years. START SLOW. 1 drop = 250 mcg. the detox effects (herxheimer reaction) can be strong, as the bromides leave the cells and circulate throughout your body.
I believe it was your recommendation to use providone iodine to treat warts. About 2 and a half-3 years ago I treated my warts with it that the wart medicine NEVER could clear up. I’m talking like 20 warts on one knee, 3 or 4 on the other leg. Doctor wasn’t any help freezing the warts because they and didn’t go away. The iodine took a while because I started treating them when I was pregnant (then couldn’t see/didn’t care to remember about them until I was postpartum) but they actually all went away! I got my sister and dad to try it and it helped them with their warts too!
I’m currently taking 100mg (16 drops) of Lugol’s iodine 5% daily and it’s greatly improved my health. No more migraines, no more PMS like painful breasts, no more heavy periods. But I do still have a uterine fibroid.
I am about to get started taking iodine as well for the same reasons.. how long did it take you to begin feeling better and which brand are you using? I would love to hear from you..
@@fernandageller4626 I'm taking Lugol's 5% iodine in drops. Will you use it for fibroids as well? It worked great for me for the other reasons, but for the fibroids it didn't. It might be that my fibroids were already too big, so I did have to get them removed surgically. Still, I can recommend taking iodine. You'll have more energy, more balanced hormones, improved breast health, etc. I do recommend starting very slowly. I only took half a drop the first day (I basically put one drop and drank half the glass the first day and the other half the second day). Every person needs a different amount and the body needs to adjust. If you can find a good doctor who does iodine tests to check how deficient you are, that could also help a lot to determine how much you need. I also highly recommend Dr. Brownstein's book about iodine. I hope you'll have great results with it! :)
@@Lola-rx8ro I read one drop is 6.25mg, so times 16 equals 100mg. I’ve been taking iodine since September and I’m doing well. Though the first months I was taking 8 drops and I increased very slowly. Two weeks ago my fibroids were removed because they were getting too big so I went back to 8 drops since I don’t think I need that much now that I no longer have fibroids. If you want more accurate data on your personal situation you can also see if you can find a doctor who does iodine tests to specifically measure how deficient you are.
Can confirm, at least in my case, I have a shellfish allergy and safely take iodine regularly. The iodine detox I did years ago changed my life, and I actually found your channel years ago researching it. Thank you Dr. Berg!
@@denvernaicker8250 Like Dr Berg said you should be fine. If you want to be extra safe you get mineral derived iodine drops so there's no seafood source.
@@denvernaicker8250it's not iodine that you're allergic to it's a protein....chitin. I have a severe shellfish allergy and I use iodine and have had CT scans with contrast. No problems. Hope that helps.
I used to get really bad period cramps that made me vomit and I could not move for a whole day. I started taking iodine everyday a week before my period started and now the cramps have completely stopped
I just wanted to sincerely thank you for all of your work, Dr. Berg. Intermittent fasting interspersed with periods of prolonged fasting has changed my life.. and it seems as though every time I had a question, you had an answer. Down to the specifics of the impacts of lemon water, acidosis, everything. Explaining the mechanics behind everything, too, is just so encouraging and helpful. You even distill it down enough so a dummy ironworker like myself can understand. You're the man, Dr. Berg.
Thank you so much for sharing your achievements, and congratulations. Would love to know more about your success. You could use this link to share your journey and inspire others. Very well done! 👉 www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
Bombshell information! PLEASE WRITE A BOOK Dr. Berg. 🌟👍🏽🌟👍🏽🌟👍🏽🌟👍🏽 Videos may get censored, but books can be passed on to many generations. I will be the first to purchase it!!!
I started taking Iodine a few days ago & have been watching a ton of videos about it. This came just in time. Thanks for helping us and giving us all this invaluable knowledge :)
Take a little selenium with it for better absorption. Get rid of gluten because it blocks iodine. Go to well educated natural health food store. Good luck
I know you wrote the recipe book and the 5 body types book, (which are amazing), but please write a book with these amazing nutrition tips and why they work. You are amazing!
I truly believe if I would kept on adding sea kelp to my food, and kept up with eating iron rich foods, I would have never gotten fibroids and ending up having a hysterectomy. I only had two fibrioids, and one of them was from the bowels of hell itstelf.
I had no problem with fish, dairy, iodized salt and seaweed until I started taking sea kelp. Then came the headaches around the clock. It took me awhile to figure it out and now I've been suffering for 10 months. Sadly I've had to cut out all fish, iodized salt, dairy and seaweed. Things that never bothered me before if I eat them now my headaches are worse. I have of course since stopped taking sea kelp but not sure how I developed this hyper sensitivity to iodine and these excruciating headaches that won't go away. Just putting this info out there.
I experienced the exact same but did not connect it to iodine - and took some more. That last drop of Lugols sent me to hospital - severe hyperthyroidism, Graves disease (never had any issue with my thyroid before). And the symptoms started with severe headaches. Now I also have to avoid iodine, cant even eat out because you never know if the restaurants use iodizid salt (very common in Germany). I am glad you put that info out there, because while for many people iodine can help a lot, for some people it is very dangerous.
1:49 You said in a previous video that it’s dangerous to take too much iodine. You made it on November 14th 2022. What’s the truth? Too much iodine bad or is it really a myth?
But republicans keep us safe by removing facts because it's considered wokeness /s so we see hulk Hogan WWE style show for folks running our country. Democrats suck also all our tax dollars are in Israel and they blame Republicans for why houses aren't affordable or healthcare
Dr. Berg - how many drops of 2% Lugols Iodine should I take everyday? This information cannot be found. I have always taken 2 drops in my coffee every morning. I have Hashimotos and I'm thinking this may not be enough. Should I take another form of it? Thank you and Godbless you for all of your valuable research!
Dr. Ken D Berry's wife, Neisha, put her Hashimoto in remission. She puts 2 drops in her coffee or whatever every day. Look them up on CZcams. Great information.
You probably have leaky gut clean up your gut. Your thyroid will start working no sugars junk food go carnivore miracle. I do 20 mg of iodine every morning love it. Also, you can check your body temperature with a thermometer at your bedside put underneath your arm pit in the morning before waking, see what your temperature is if it’s low you got low thyroid I think this is better than a blood test good luck
I have been taking about 13mg ie 2 drops of Lugols iodine daily for 16 years as I knew about all the benefits but only rarely had a break from taking it, only food fasting twice a year and taking small amounts of magnesium and selenium. My TSH has been decreasing slowly over time indicating that I am hyperthyroid, overreactive, with weight loss etc and iodine seems to make symptoms worse. So I will have to stop taking iodine. Or maybe take one drop per week...? All doctors can think of is destroying the thyroid with radioactivity. I am trying Keto, B1, intermittent fasting and avoid gluten, soya, dairy and sugar. I hope that this will work... ? I am grateful for all your videos. Ty
Maybe look inte a liver supplement Vitamin D protocol and high dose vit C? And taking a break from iodine two days a week to give the kidneys time to flush out the excess?
Dr Berg, I have had many days of horrible hot flashes and sleep disruption for 19 years- I started taking Vit E mixed tocopherols, added iodine drops from kelp (dropper full in water bottles and loved idea of Himalayan sea salt as well makes the water tastes awesome and just a couple days on your yeast tablets snd I've now had several nights of sleep all the way through!!!! no disruption- I never thought I'd get my life back but Im starting to feel normal again and rested. - meaning no night sweats that were so bad I had to leave my bed to sleep on the couch for fear if keeping my husband awake from constantly throwing off blankets then back on as you said sometimes every four minutes. i had taken so many other complete vitamins but stayed away from Vit E in the past because it seemed to make me break out like I was allergic- so far it was almost immediate change for the better! after the same time of feeling pretty good about my diet it does seem to come down to just a few things out of whack. think you, your ideas are working after many years of trying a variety of expensive multivitamins it seems necessary to have added these other things to get my life back. thank you! bless you!
I told my doctor that since i'm hypothyroid and I don't eat iodized salt or kelp, I started supplementing iodine, 225mcg/day. He gets concerned and says "we don't need much iodine". He's a dufus.
I've always suspected I had a minor thyroid issue, but doctors dismissed it and said I was within normal. I know full well that normal for one person could be hyper- or hypo- for someone else.
If you don't mind what brand of iodine you're taking? I bought Lugol's iodine 2% but nervous about the right dose, I started with 1 drop today mixed with water, lots of advice said start slowly and go up. How do you calculate your dose? Thank you in advance 🙏
my mom almost killed herslef drinking to much iodine. Don't say you can't overconsume it! She took iodine and her THC was higher so she taght she needed to take more, but her THC vas high because she was taking Iodine. After one year of increasing the dosage to lower the THC that has been rising since she was taking Iodine her thyroid gland was permenantly damaged
As they add iodine to regular table salt, and I use Celtic sea salt and pink Himalayan, I guess I will have to take a supplement if I can’t get it from food sources (I’m usually OMAD so don’t eat very often. )?
I started taking iodine and understood that I might experience some detox effects such as muscle soreness and fatigue. However, no one suggested that my fasting blood glucose level would increase to around 105. This disturbs me. After doing a search for a link, I did find that this was not unusual but I could find no explanation as to why or if it would last.
DR. Berg, thank you for all your amazing work. ❤ If I met a doctor like you who cares about holistic health I wouldn’t have such a strong distrust our medical system
One mistake I made with too much iodine once was eating too much seaweed a few hours before bed. I felt like a damn nuclear reactor. I was so hot from an increase in metabolism I couldn't sleep at all.
Hi Dr.Berg. I have a question, or an Idea for a video. Can you make a video, of how would the balanced daily meal plan look to get all or most of the vitamins and minerals through whole foods ? Thank you for your content, I've learned a lot throughout the years :)
My 16 year old daughter has breast hypoplasia. I have just realised she likely had paediatric hypothyroidism (which I never heard of until yesterday), I have now put her on iodine drops but it may be too late, I hope not. It’s very distressing for her. There is virtually no information about this but I have collated as much as I can to arrive at a conclusion. I understand there are other breast issues but she physiologically does not fit into tubular breast or any of the other ones. It clearly looks like hypoplasia. She had a very refined carbs heavy diet (my fault!) and had a burst appendix as a child which I now see as having been a manifestation of poor gut health and insulin resistance. It’s hard to face up to these things, especially when there is a nasty upsetting and obvious physical manifestation where we might not be on time to save it, it depends on whether at 16 it works on her thyroid and if there is any growth left to happen. I will let you know! Thank you so much for your amazing videos!! This information has saved a generation!
Well yay! I’ve been adding a couple drops of Lugols iodine solution to my morning glass of water for about 19 years. But I always wondered what the ideal amount should be. Sounds like I could safely add a couple more drops
Dr. Berg just said anyone with hypothyroid should not take iodine, my question is why? Any info on this would be appreciated. I need to get off of levothyroxine.
Dr. berg, I’m getting to the point where I am overdosing on supplements in the sense of just so many bottles. Is there a SINGLE multivitamin, liquid supplement, or whatever that contains all of what we need? I’ve read the ingredient list of several of them and they don’t have half of what you recommend. Ditto for the newer ones like Simple green, Kava, etc.

I found this research out when I was looking into getting a hot tub. I learned how chlorine and bromine in excess are bad for your thyroid so i started taking iodine gradually up to 12.5 with cofactors. It's been a solid year now and my hot tub is coming next month so I hope I have prepped enough for the halides in the water. I think its important to slowly build your way up otherwise you can herx with sore throat and flu like symptoms.
So I kinda just had to find out for myself. But what I do is mix in an old chlorine container with the safety lid, about 1part (cup) b o r ax 2 parts (cup) Baking Soda 4 parts (cup) Epsoms salts Shake together... Add a few drops of your fav essential oil eg tea tree, lavendar etc Then add about a tablespoon to hot tub each time you use it. More if there's lots of people.. Gave the same recipe to my sister for her cold water pool in Queensland.. Absolutely no algae growth!
Dr. Berg, I have hyperthyroidism and recently diagnosed with Addison’s disease and I have major brain fog. I started taking iodine and it has helped my brain fog tremendously. Your video referenced for hyperthyroidism, do not take iodine. Do you have another video you can refer me to that explains more about this? Thank you so much for your videos.
I found one of his video's from 5 year's ago where he stated if you are hyper don't take iodine. So maybe he has done some research and see the benefits of iodine for hyperthyroid. Check out Dr. David Brownstein video's he has very good information on this topic.
I love your videos, but I would really like to see what methods you would suggest for taking these "supplements" I don't like that word lol. So, do you have a menu, an online guide, a book, recipes, anything we can follow directly? A comprehensive list would be awesome to mix with herbal and home remedies. What I guess I'm looking for is specific answers to specific scenarios, like I may have either leaky gut, and/or other inflammatory issues as well as a possible autoimmune issues from the gut issues. There's too much information for me to rally follow, even your videos are hard to really break down what I should do for these issues. If you come up with a regimen for something like that I would buy it in a heartbeat.
No he's not, he's contradicting himself in different videos. I wish some of you would stop kissing his *ss enough to see where things don't add up. Too many ppl praising, not enough asking the tough questions
A way to test for Iodine deficiency is simply to paint a small square of it (the disinfectant type) on your skin. If the stain is gone (absorbed) within 12 hours, you were lacking. If it's still there, you are getting enough from your diet. A cheap, safe and easy test at home. The skin method is also a way to ensure you do not take too much. I like Berg a lot - but there is definitely a thing as too much iodine. You may become very aggressive if a lot of T4 is converted to T3 in a short time. I've picked fights with people simply because so much active hormone was pumping - from hyperthyroid - which the iodine enabled.
I just read that you will absorb it either way and the example that was used is that babies used to have it applied to the umbilical stub or whatever you call it and that they found out it was causing babies to have a thyroid problem for weeks. I would look more into this before I would rely on either way.
@@eckoart.erin.jerome I won't pretend to know everything about it. Sometimes I fast and the Iodine is absorbed within hours because there's no meat or fish in my diet. While on regular days, it'll last ~16 hours. But my thyroid is whacky. At the end of the day, medicine is always very personal.
Try drinking water with unrefined sea salt for several days, then begin taking Lugol’s iodine solution-a mixture of two different types of iodine. Take this solution for about five days, then take two days off. Also, consume between 3 and 9 grams of vitamin C, 400 mg of magnesium, 100 mg of selenium, and the complete B-complex to detox these other halogens completely.

The Iodine Crisis is a book everyone should read.
Recently started taking iodine and I have more energy than ever! I was thinking thyroid, but when you mentioned balancing estrogen, - bingo! I've always suffered from estrogen dominance as has every woman in generations. No wonder I feel so good! As always, you give such great advice and you don't have to have an hour video to educate us. Thanks!
I will try this
How much do you take and what is your weight if I can ask to compare. I am also estrogen dominant and it causes so many issues
@@TheLamboLady I'm 160 lb and just starte taking 12.5 mg/day a few weeks ago. In capsules with the 3 forms of iodine. I know! So many issues. Did you know they breed chickens, turkeys and salmon to be estrogen dominant, so when they feed them soy they get hungry, lazy and fatter quicker. If I eat soy or flax, same effect. I have a farmer who started raising chickens soy-free and they were only 3 lb instead of 8 lb at 8 weeks. They were more active and healthier too.
@@pestimom6572 May I ask where to buy it? What brand? Thank you.
Where do you get your source of iodine from? I am interested 😊
Dr. Berg, I thank you so much. My son was diagnosed with dermhoid. A lump over his left collarbone. We went to 2 specialists and both said only surgery could be the solution. You could see and feel the lump. After using kelp and dulse with most of his food (we ended up using it in the family coz if one lacks it, we may all do since we eat the same food for the most part), it significantly went away in like a month or so. Now, we cant see nor feel it. Even the doctor who said it might not go away, was happy to inform us that he does not need to come for every 3 months visits and ultrasound. We are still told to com every 6 months just to get him checked and no ultrasound still is needed. GOD's purpose for your life to share awesome health information is working so well to many people. I myself fast (though currently in a plateau), and it works not just for losing weight but feeling healthy. Thank you. May GOD protect and bless you and your family!
What is “dulse?”
@@theworshipsinger sea plants like kelp amazon has it
@@theworshipsingerDulse is seaweed. Great source of Iodine.
Dr Berg I thought I should let you know, after watching this video on the weekend, I went to buy some iodine liquid yesterday, I went to three pharmacies,, one of which has been established for over a 100 yrs and a nationwide chain, then a well known nationwide natural health food chain and finally a family run chemist, on my highstreet, here in the UK. The lady in the health food shop said when I asked where I could find the iodine in the store she said "there is a big problem getting any, nobody has any" the next pharmacist in the long established chemists looked at me like I was asking for the Holy Grail and finally I got the answer from the family chemists, she didn't have any, I asked what the issue was with getting iodine, she said "its been removed " my reply "why? it k!lls germs!" the answer "anything that is beneficial and works has been removed" she looked equally as frustrated. Imagine everyone on planet earth took this as a supplement! there woul be no illness or cancer and no p@andemics. .....

Same here. Even if there is iodine, it is only one type of iodine, not what is actually needed. +an extreme fear of iodine in society
Yes i couldn't find it either. Pharmacist said they don't have it anymore. We bought a large bottle for our horse at a feed store. Idk if it can be taken internally tho?

I used iodine,selenium and zinc to get beyond Graves Disease.
Would you please explain in fuller detail. My daughter has Graves and I worry about her rapid heartbeat. They want to cut her thyroid out!
@@JJ-jl1ge I had RAI ablation of the thyroid then took full replacement synthetic thyroid hormone for 12yrs. I felt lousy when I was on levothyroxine, so I titrated off over a 18-month period. Without the levothyroxine suppressing the release of TSH by the hypothalamus my body started producing thyroxine on its own. Instead of taking the synthetic hormone ingested iodine, selenium and zinc - what the body needs to produce thyroxine. It took many months but I got to the other side. I don't know if it's a journey for everyone, but I pray that your daughter finds what works for her.
@@JJ-jl1ge I trusted an Endocrinologist in 2008, and was given two choices for the Grave's Disease I developed just nine months after my first flu shot (not sure if it's related but today's revelations about those shots; could be related as having weakened my immune system). I chose Radioactive Iodine over surgical removal. Either way; I'd be on thyroid hormone replacement for the rest of my life. I was foolhardy, to say the least. My trust in medical was misplaced. I should have sought-out a holistic/natural type doctor. 13 years later my niece would do just this after a diagnoses of Hashimotos. My niece through diet, vitamins, herbs, etc, was cured. Yes, cured. The Clinic had a protocol to follow which would lead to a lifetime of maintenance; enriching the Clinics, and Big Pharma. I regret my choice now that I know how our Medical System has been corrupted. Please do the leg-work for your daughter. Life is too short to let it become even shorter with their medical protocols that cure nothing and only prolong everything; eventually worsening. Just my opinion, and experience. May GOD bless you and your daughter, and I pray to Archangel Raphael for a healing to be found for your daughter. Added Note: I had the very fast heartbeat, too. I was given a serious drug called Methimazole that caused my thyroid to produce less hormone. The side effects were not good but I did this for nine months following the diagnosis - per the Endocrinologist Protocol. I then went for the Radioactive Iodine, per his suggestion that the Grave's antibodies wouldn't stop being produced which is why he went this other route for those nine months. Sometimes; the period of time on Methimazole will result in the Grave's going away, or so the doctor told me. The Methimazole did slow down my heartbeat. I was still, quite sick. The Radioactive Iodine burned my thyroid and pretty much killed it. Those antibodies then took-off for my shins (created scars that were truly scary - but no bleeding). The shin disease cleared up after a year. The antibodies also took-off for my eye sockets, which is painful. It did some damage, and bugged-my eyes out a bit. After a year of this, it went into remission which I went into an MRI Center to get an Orbital MRI to see how it was progressing, or if it'd gone into remission. It's hard to do the right thing but if you do research, and find a natural type doctor; there may be help, and a cure that is not surgical or Radioactive.

Years ago there was more of a goiter problem.
We were given iodine tablets at school. I liked the taste, many did not.
Perhaps then was when they started adding iodine to refined salt?
Father talked about having gum problems in his 20s. Dentist insisted on pulling teeth and obtaining dentures. He refused. Rubbed iodine on his gums /not recommended at the time. Had all his own teeth till almost 90.
Why is it not recommended to rub iodine on gums?
We were given Iodine tablets in school ( I liked them as well ). It was to prevent a thyroid problem called GOITER.
Do a Google search. Not as pevelent these days because of the addition of iodine to our table salt
What does iodine do for the gums and how often did he do this please?
Dr. Berg,
you have helped me and my husband a lot with those very important messages.
Since about 2 years I just put your name on youtube and always find the right help from your videos.
Last year in July we startet Keto and IF., one meal a day. I lost 22 kg, now I am on 60 kg. I mostly avoided carbs, no take away, but ate very less fat, which was my problem.
I thank you very much, you are the best Doctor !
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Real fat is not a problem ie, butter, cream the fat on meats, fatty fish like salmon, and oily fish.
It's the 'vegetable' oils and 'seed' oils that are the problem, sunflower, corn oil, rapeseed, nut oils. (Extra virgin cold pressed olive oil is ok in moderation)
Natural animal fats are good for you. Trans fats, hydrogenated fats etc are very bad for you.
Stay natural, and read NINA TIECHOLZ 's book about oils it'll open your eyes on why to stay well away . 👍😉
My daughter has an underactive thyroid. She has started taking iodine. Gradually building up to 3 drops at night over 3 weeks. 15%lugols. She is feeling the benefit
Thank you for sharing see any significant improvements on TSH & T4 levels?
@aprilllc3622 she has not followed the GP advice. She does not want to take thyroxine. She was on it a year with no benefit. GP wanted to increase the strength. She had read up on Thyroxine, and she decided not to take it.
Dr. Berg just said anyone with hypothyroid should not take iodine, my question is why? Any info on this would be appreciated. I need to get off of levothyroxine. ❤️🙏
I have been diabetic for over 13 years. I am also struggling with my weight, weighing 96kg, and im 46 yeras old. I developed aome outburst of painful boil like growths that comes out and after some days dries up leaving a black spot on my skin. It was ao irritating and painful. My doctor called it cellulitis.. and gave me some antibiotics which I took but it didn't stop. I have had a fibroid surgery 4 years ago and also started noticing an increase in my period.
I started taking lugols solution in water.. for some weeks now, my period last month reduced, not as heavy as the peevious months.
Secondly, the cellulitis or painful boil like growth has stopped.
I will be more consistent on this to see how my recovery goes.
Thank you
Another benefit I noticed after taking iodine in my water for a month now, my breasts didn't feel heavy or painful during my period this time.
I no longer struggle to sleep, I sleep better ..... Iodine is so good. Just in one month I have seen good benefits.
I will keep updating as I continue taking it. I will increase the quantity gradually in this second month to see how it goes.
💃💃💃💃💃❤❤
@@queenchima6897Thankyou for this comment it gives me hope. I also suffer for those boil spots that leave dark marks on the skin. I have a curvy figure and heavy chest. I have started taking iodine solution in water with the supplements and hope to see a difference. I will also try Keto to help. Some girls seem to have higher risk on those type of things . I have seen a slight reduction in one since taking it for a few days. If there’s any way we can reduce cancer cells and make our lives happier and healthier we should start.. Thanks for your comment.
Here in Brazil there is a National law, they have to add iodine in the salt in a certain percentage.
Same in Poland. However you need to check do they add a proper form of iodine. Three are places when you have addet potassium iodate instead potassium iodide.
No wonder all the ladies have such nice butts down there! Buen dia de California!
We also add a good amount of fluoride in the water, which has been shown in studies to diminish IQ by at least a standard deviation in large populations.
In the States, iodine is added to table salt, along with anti-caking agents, so no one eats table salt anymore. It's sea salt or Himalayan pink salt or black salt, which all have additional minerals. Just not iodine.
Is that why Brazilians are so beautiful?😊
From 5 years ago I am tired of saying and advising people about this amazing substance. I used to say that iodine is the most important element and is the first treatment for almost every disease. This video confirmed what I said and my research. Thank you, Doctor, for confirming my information. Many thanks to you.
This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health.
He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way.

I believe it was your recommendation to use providone iodine to treat warts. About 2 and a half-3 years ago I treated my warts with it that the wart medicine NEVER could clear up. I’m talking like 20 warts on one knee, 3 or 4 on the other leg. Doctor wasn’t any help freezing the warts because they and didn’t go away. The iodine took a while because I started treating them when I was pregnant (then couldn’t see/didn’t care to remember about them until I was postpartum) but they actually all went away! I got my sister and dad to try it and it helped them with their warts too!
Just started taking iodine and it gives extra energy and have started reducing cystic acne and breast spots along with keto.
I’m currently taking 100mg (16 drops) of Lugol’s iodine 5% daily and it’s greatly improved my health. No more migraines, no more PMS like painful breasts, no more heavy periods. But I do still have a uterine fibroid.
I am about to get started taking iodine as well for the same reasons.. how long did it take you to begin feeling better and which brand are you using? I would love to hear from you..
@@fernandageller4626 I'm taking Lugol's 5% iodine in drops. Will you use it for fibroids as well? It worked great for me for the other reasons, but for the fibroids it didn't. It might be that my fibroids were already too big, so I did have to get them removed surgically. Still, I can recommend taking iodine. You'll have more energy, more balanced hormones, improved breast health, etc. I do recommend starting very slowly. I only took half a drop the first day (I basically put one drop and drank half the glass the first day and the other half the second day). Every person needs a different amount and the body needs to adjust. If you can find a good doctor who does iodine tests to check how deficient you are, that could also help a lot to determine how much you need. I also highly recommend Dr. Brownstein's book about iodine. I hope you'll have great results with it! :)
How do you calculate this?
1 drop equals 50 mg solution. Or are you taking really 100mg iodine per day? How are you doing longterm?
@@Lola-rx8ro I read one drop is 6.25mg, so times 16 equals 100mg. I’ve been taking iodine since September and I’m doing well. Though the first months I was taking 8 drops and I increased very slowly. Two weeks ago my fibroids were removed because they were getting too big so I went back to 8 drops since I don’t think I need that much now that I no longer have fibroids.
If you want more accurate data on your personal situation you can also see if you can find a doctor who does iodine tests to specifically measure how deficient you are.
@@RafaelaMoningthank you! I will dive into this!!!

@@Drberg Question, I had my thyroid removed years ago (hyper) and now on levothyroxine. Is iodine safe for me to take?

I truly believe if I would kept on adding sea kelp to my food, and kept up with eating iron rich foods, I would have never gotten fibroids and ending up having a hysterectomy. I only had two fibrioids, and one of them was from the bowels of hell itstelf.
Look up parasites and fibroids. And iodine helps against bacteria, parasites and viruses 👍👍👍
I had no problem with fish, dairy, iodized salt and seaweed until I started taking sea kelp. Then came the headaches around the clock. It took me awhile to figure it out and now I've been suffering for 10 months. Sadly I've had to cut out all fish, iodized salt, dairy and seaweed. Things that never bothered me before if I eat them now my headaches are worse. I have of course since stopped taking sea kelp but not sure how I developed this hyper sensitivity to iodine and these excruciating headaches that won't go away. Just putting this info out there.
Vaccine related maybe?
Sounds like your body is detoxing. There is a protocol to use when first taking any iodine, to help with bromide dumping.
There could be something the sea kelp you are reacting to. Try detox fast then slowly re-introduce one at a time
I experienced the exact same but did not connect it to iodine - and took some more. That last drop of Lugols sent me to hospital - severe hyperthyroidism, Graves disease (never had any issue with my thyroid before). And the symptoms started with severe headaches. Now I also have to avoid iodine, cant even eat out because you never know if the restaurants use iodizid salt (very common in Germany). I am glad you put that info out there, because while for many people iodine can help a lot, for some people it is very dangerous.
good video as ussual....my only comment not to take vitamin c and iodine at the same time, at leas 1 hour diference, as dr Dr Sarah Myhill explains
1:49 You said in a previous video that it’s dangerous to take too much iodine. You made it on November 14th 2022. What’s the truth? Too much iodine bad or is it really a myth?
They really need to teach this stuff in school. Our schools are so backwards.
Our schools are INTENTIONALLY backward, so this type of health info will never be taught.

I have been taking about 13mg ie 2 drops of Lugols iodine daily for 16 years as I knew about all the benefits but only rarely had a break from taking it, only food fasting twice a year and taking small amounts of magnesium and selenium. My TSH has been decreasing slowly over time indicating that I am hyperthyroid, overreactive, with weight loss etc and iodine seems to make symptoms worse. So I will have to stop taking iodine. Or maybe take one drop per week...? All doctors can think of is destroying the thyroid with radioactivity. I am trying Keto, B1, intermittent fasting and avoid gluten, soya, dairy and sugar. I hope that this will work... ? I am grateful for all your videos. Ty
Maybe look inte a liver supplement Vitamin D protocol and high dose vit C? And taking a break from iodine two days a week to give the kidneys time to flush out the excess?
Good morning Dr berg, i take nutritional yeast every single day and i feel better overall thanks for all that you do!! Enjoy your day

Dr Berg, I have had many days of horrible hot flashes and sleep disruption for 19 years- I started taking Vit E mixed tocopherols, added iodine drops from kelp (dropper full in water bottles and loved idea of Himalayan sea salt as well makes the water tastes awesome and just a couple days on your yeast tablets snd I've now had several nights of sleep all the way through!!!! no disruption- I never thought I'd get my life back but Im starting to feel normal again and rested. - meaning no night sweats that were so bad I had to leave my bed to sleep on the couch for fear if keeping my husband awake from constantly throwing off blankets then back on as you said sometimes every four minutes. i had taken so many other complete vitamins but stayed away from Vit E in the past because it seemed to make me break out like I was allergic- so far it was almost immediate change for the better! after the same time of feeling pretty good about my diet it does seem to come down to just a few things out of whack. think you, your ideas are working after many years of trying a variety of expensive multivitamins it seems necessary to have added these other things to get my life back. thank you! bless you!
Was the hot flashes and sleep disruption because of menopause. I am going through the same and really tired.
I told my doctor that since i'm hypothyroid and I don't eat iodized salt or kelp, I started supplementing iodine, 225mcg/day. He gets concerned and says "we don't need much iodine". He's a dufus.
I've always suspected I had a minor thyroid issue, but doctors dismissed it and said I was within normal. I know full well that normal for one person could be hyper- or hypo- for someone else.
Most drs today are a bunch of idiots who don’t care to cure problems but get you addicted to meds!
He's not a dufus. He's a drug dealer. If you take that much iodine and keep yourself healthy, he makes the minimum off you.
If you don't mind what brand of iodine you're taking? I bought Lugol's iodine 2% but nervous about the right dose, I started with 1 drop today mixed with water, lots of advice said start slowly and go up. How do you calculate your dose? Thank you in advance 🙏

Which iodine do you use please and how much do you take please Thankyou
As they add iodine to regular table salt, and I use Celtic sea salt and pink Himalayan, I guess I will have to take a supplement if I can’t get it from food sources (I’m usually OMAD so don’t eat very often. )?
Phenomenal, through dr bergs dedicated research, we are always getting information outside the box and i really appreciate it!
I started taking iodine and understood that I might experience some detox effects such as muscle soreness and fatigue. However, no one suggested that my fasting blood glucose level would increase to around 105. This disturbs me. After doing a search for a link, I did find that this was not unusual but I could find no explanation as to why or if it would last.
Dr berg, please, please do some videos on hyperthyroidism. Most of your videos are on hypo.... I've been asking for a long time.... thank you

Yes, I would really really appreciate that too. And also specifically on Graves disease
Can you please upload a video about the tests needed to know the amount of each nutrient in the body to avoid poisoning?
A naturopath told me that you shouldn't consume Lugol's orally because it's very harsh on your digestive tract. He told me to apply it to my skin.
You have to put it in water, you should not drink it undiluted. Completely safe though.
DR. Berg, thank you for all your amazing work. ❤ If I met a doctor like you who cares about holistic health I wouldn’t have such a strong distrust our medical system

My 16 year old daughter has breast hypoplasia. I have just realised she likely had paediatric hypothyroidism (which I never heard of until yesterday), I have now put her on iodine drops but it may be too late, I hope not. It’s very distressing for her. There is virtually no information about this but I have collated as much as I can to arrive at a conclusion. I understand there are other breast issues but she physiologically does not fit into tubular breast or any of the other ones. It clearly looks like hypoplasia. She had a very refined carbs heavy diet (my fault!) and had a burst appendix as a child which I now see as having been a manifestation of poor gut health and insulin resistance. It’s hard to face up to these things, especially when there is a nasty upsetting and obvious physical manifestation where we might not be on time to save it, it depends on whether at 16 it works on her thyroid and if there is any growth left to happen. I will let you know! Thank you so much for your amazing videos!! This information has saved a generation!
Thank you for this upgrade of my knowledge 🙏 🙌
Sure thing! Have a nice day!

Well yay! I’ve been adding a couple drops of Lugols iodine solution to my morning glass of water for about 19 years. But I always wondered what the ideal amount should be. Sounds like I could safely add a couple more drops
Is it safe to take it everyday?
Very thankful for your videos.
I'm glad that you enjoy watching them.
My dad tried to tell me about this a very long time ago. He lived in Asia for a while. 🤔
Thank you Dr Berg
Are sardines high in iodine ?
Dr. Berg just said anyone with hypothyroid should not take iodine, my question is why? Any info on this would be appreciated. I need to get off of levothyroxine.
Thank you for this great video!
Sure thing! Have a nice day!
I was told to avoid iodine because of Hashimotos Thyroid. Should I , Dr. Berg?
One person said it gave them Hashimoto's, another said it cured them. This is very confusing!
Dr. berg, I’m getting to the point where I am overdosing on supplements in the sense of just so many bottles. Is there a SINGLE multivitamin, liquid supplement, or whatever that contains all of what we need? I’ve read the ingredient list of several of them and they don’t have half of what you recommend. Ditto for the newer ones like Simple green, Kava, etc.
Vitalogy has everything in it.
I'm taking it, recommended by my Functional medicine Dr..
@@theresamikelson2569 - Interesting, I’ll check out Vitalogy and Functional Medicine Dr. Thank you for the homework, I hate homework. 🤣🥰
Edit: Vitalogy is apparently a vitamin manufacturing company that makes specialized products for other companies under their own (separate) labels. Can you give me another clue please?
@@Erin-Thor I would contact your local Functional medicine Dr. and ask them if you can get vitalogy or something similar. 🙋
The best I have found is a product called Intramax 2.0
A product called Intramax 2.0 is the best I have found.
thank you Doctor ❤ big thank you for your time and sharing the knowledge. i used to take 3-4 drops of Lugols 5%, my tsh raised to around 37 however i felt better than ever. (hashimoto)now after a break just one drop but also a lot of food rich in iodine. ❤ its a real pleasure to listen to you
You should have Ian Clark from Activation Products on for an interview.
Thank you for your content.
Love his products!
I found this research out when I was looking into getting a hot tub. I learned how chlorine and bromine in excess are bad for your thyroid so i started taking iodine gradually up to 12.5 with cofactors. It's been a solid year now and my hot tub is coming next month so I hope I have prepped enough for the halides in the water. I think its important to slowly build your way up otherwise you can herx with sore throat and flu like symptoms.
I use bo r a x and baking soda in my hot tub.. No chlorine or bromide... It's much cleaner and very safe for your body...
@@dawnlaurie2516Thanks for the info! How much and how often? Is there a guide i can find on this somewhere?
So I kinda just had to find out for myself.
But what I do is mix in an old chlorine container with the safety lid,
about 1part (cup) b o r ax
2 parts (cup) Baking Soda
4 parts (cup) Epsoms salts
Shake together...
Add a few drops of your fav essential oil eg tea tree, lavendar
etc
Then add about a tablespoon to hot tub each time you use it. More if there's lots of people..
Gave the same recipe to my sister for her cold water pool in Queensland.. Absolutely no algae growth!
Very informative video thanks Dr Eric Berg 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰✔️❤️
Thanks. Happy that you found it useful!
Dr. Berg, I have hyperthyroidism and recently diagnosed with Addison’s disease and I have major brain fog. I started taking iodine and it has helped my brain fog tremendously. Your video referenced for hyperthyroidism, do not take iodine. Do you have another video you can refer me to that explains more about this? Thank you so much for your videos.
I found one of his video's from 5 year's ago where he stated if you are hyper don't take iodine. So maybe he has done some research and see the benefits of iodine for hyperthyroid. Check out Dr. David Brownstein video's he has very good information on this topic.
Thanks so much for the video.Just a question how can one know about hyperthyroidism symptoms without test ?
Happy that you found it useful! Please see here: czcams.com/video/bAOm5KBlcS0/video.html
I love your videos, but I would really like to see what methods you would suggest for taking these "supplements" I don't like that word lol. So, do you have a menu, an online guide, a book, recipes, anything we can follow directly? A comprehensive list would be awesome to mix with herbal and home remedies. What I guess I'm looking for is specific answers to specific scenarios, like I may have either leaky gut, and/or other inflammatory issues as well as a possible autoimmune issues from the gut issues. There's too much information for me to rally follow, even your videos are hard to really break down what I should do for these issues. If you come up with a regimen for something like that I would buy it in a heartbeat.
thank you for your videos
Anytime.
What do you think of seamoss? Good, bad, in the middle? Side effects? thank you in advance.
Put i the iodine in your water people .I do ;)with the Celtic salt added as well .Thanks for the info Dr Berg !
Most welcome!
Which brand of iodine do you use and how many drops pleaee and how much salt ? Thankyou
This doctor is like a machine for beneficial information... May god bless you!
Glad that you are learning a lot from my videos. Wishing you good health!
No he's not, he's contradicting himself in different videos. I wish some of you would stop kissing his *ss enough to see where things don't add up. Too many ppl praising, not enough asking the tough questions
A way to test for Iodine deficiency is simply to paint a small square of it (the disinfectant type) on your skin. If the stain is gone (absorbed) within 12 hours, you were lacking. If it's still there, you are getting enough from your diet. A cheap, safe and easy test at home.
The skin method is also a way to ensure you do not take too much. I like Berg a lot - but there is definitely a thing as too much iodine. You may become very aggressive if a lot of T4 is converted to T3 in a short time. I've picked fights with people simply because so much active hormone was pumping - from hyperthyroid - which the iodine enabled.
Thx 4 sharing especially the skin test.
I just read that you will absorb it either way and the example that was used is that babies used to have it applied to the umbilical stub or whatever you call it and that they found out it was causing babies to have a thyroid problem for weeks. I would look more into this before I would rely on either way.
@@eckoart.erin.jerome I won't pretend to know everything about it. Sometimes I fast and the Iodine is absorbed within hours because there's no meat or fish in my diet. While on regular days, it'll last ~16 hours. But my thyroid is whacky.
At the end of the day, medicine is always very personal.
What type of iodine?
The one they sell in the health food store is of clear consistency
Try drinking water with unrefined sea salt for several days, then begin taking Lugol’s iodine solution-a mixture of two different types of iodine. Take this solution for about five days, then take two days off. Also, consume between 3 and 9 grams of vitamin C, 400 mg of magnesium, 100 mg of selenium, and the complete B-complex to detox these other halogens completely.
Thanks for the healthy information!
Most welcome!
Lugol iodine solution is also used for bees mainly to battle nosema
I just bought your potassium iodine but haven't started taking it yet, I should start today 👍🏻
Dr. Berg Potassium Iodide is intended for short-term use only. Please contact my Product Advisors for help with this supplement support.drberg.com/services
Thanks Doc !!! You have been GREAT for my health
You are very welcome, happy it's helpful. Keep it up!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge 👍🫡
It was nothing at all.
I have hyperparathyroidism and I’ve been take one drop every morning but only for the last few days. But the big question is, why shouldn’t I take it?
Thanks for dr berg for explicit explanation ❤❤❤❤
You got it! Thanks for watching!
I started taking iodine about 3 to 4 months ago with 12 mg of iodine and iodide.
My tsh is at the high 11 to 15 since, but all the other t3 t4 thyroid indicators are normal.
Dr Brownstein dis say the tsh will remain high for 6 months.
I am hesitating and lower my iodine to 12 mg twice in a week.
Not sure others experiences
