I have a goiter. I"m vegan. I"ve just started adding iodine as a supplement. My doctor didn't explain this to me. Thank you!

Wishing you well 💚

[@datsuntoyy]

Seaweed is Vegan and the best source of iodine. The vegan diet is also short on a few other nutrients, research it. Also consider selenium, it works synergistically with iodine in the thyroid and brain. 1 brazil nut a day is all you need. Also vegan. By any chance do you live in the midwest or norther area by the great lakes? They are the worst areas for low iodine in America.

Fish (such as cod and tuna), seaweed, shrimp, and other seafood, which are generally rich in iodine Dairy products (such as milk, yogurt, and cheese) and eggs, which are also good sources of iodine Iodized salt, which is readily available in the United States and many other countries* My Kirkland Mature Multi has 100% iodine. I mix 1/3 iodized salt with my Himalayan salt and eat a few sheets of seaweed a week. It's so easy to get enough.

[@genitagray6126]

Himalayan salt is from Pakistan. Also when the ingredients say 100%, that means 100% of what they say the required amount is, which is very low.

[@rolfpoelman3486]

It is so easy to make a mistake, but being so sure it is not possibly wrong is a bad sign. There is no iodine in dried seaweed. He said dairy does not have iodine, but you ignored him. Iodized salt has enough iodine to only avoid goiter. That is nowhere near enough a healthy level. It's so easy to not get enough.

[@rolfpoelman3486]

@@genitagray6126 The RDI of iodine is only to avoid goiter, not for good health otherwise eg to handle infections etc. The most powerful profit before people industry is at fault. And the masses of thoughtlessness.

But you Dr. Aspires you are literally a blessing with your "ON POINT" information, and the way you deliver that info in such a caring and loving manner, you absolutely care about people, and that is a rare trait!! Now a days I go to the doctor and I call it conveyor belt health care, it's all about the money not caring or helping people, extremely sad. And doctors won't tell you the side effects of the poison they prescribe, not all medicines are bad. I have metabolic syndrome no doctor has ever tackled, not even endocrinologist. So Thank You SO much for your channel, it's a breath of fresh air!!❤

Recently gained serious weight, have developed cysts in my breasts, and now an inflamed thyroid. I’ve been trying to get help for extreme fatigue and body pain for years and keep getting blown off by doctors, who just blame my medications (I’m epileptic and bipolar and take a few meds daily). I’ve been doing some research about supplementation. Got some Kelp as well as B complex, Calcium Magnesium & D.

[@Meisterling]

I'd test TSH, T3, T4 and maybe antibodies. Zinc and selenium are important as well for the thyroid. I recommend K2 (mk-7) if you take vitamin D. It prevents calcium from ending up in the soft tissue.

Regrettably while iodized salt may be a good thing, we now know regular salts contain microplastics hence using Himalayan salt of Celtic salt which has a much safer profile is advantageous. Using Lugol's Iodine either topically or orally can be used. Other forms of iodine certainly should not be taken orally.

My 89 year old mother lives in Hawaii and she is a stage-4 CKD patient, so she does not use any table salt, and can't chew any seaweeds due to her dentures. Sh has been complaining about chronic fatigue and excessive hair loss more than the usual when she brushes her hair every morning. I asked her doctor if she can prescribe an iodine deficiency blood test, but the doctor says it is unheard of that anyone in the US or Canada can suffer iodine deficiency. What can i say or do to convince her to do a test anyways? My mother has Kaiser Advantage plan, so unless her GP orders the test, she can't go to another doctor outside of the Kaiser network to get a blood test.

[@TerriblePerfection]

Just order some Lugol's iodine online. You don't need tests or permission to enjoy good health. I take 3 drops every day. I'm 67.

[@1ACL]

You can also get seaweed in small, dried flakes and sprinkle it on food. And go to the hospital lab and pay for a test out of pocket. They don't cost too much.

[@XOChristianaNicole]

I would demand the tests to be done - I don’t care what the doctor states. It’s your insurance and you are paying the doc. They work for you. Demand the test to be done - or take matters into your own hands, and purchase Lugol’s solution, and have her try it, for herself.

Hi Dr, What if I have too much iodine in my body? We have to be careful when we buy seaweed. Some come from polluted Ocean. Do you think we can get mercury and pollution from oceans when eating seaweed? I learn that Eden company is a trustworthy company that sell clean, healthy seaweed. I like nori. Dr Rudy and Jeanie Davis said that raw organic meat of coconut has iodine. And coconut can help prevent memory problems too. Good video. Thank you Dr.

[@datsuntoyy]

Too much will also cause a goiter. People in Japan eat 10+ grams a day due to their heavy seaweed diet. Doesn't seem to be a problem. It's hard to get to much if it's from an actual food source and not a suppliment.

@arsalanaspires i have hypothyroidism been having pressure in my throat, weight gain all those symptoms. Did a iodine skin patch test it was gone in 7 hours. I know to take iodine and selenium helps but my first time taking it. Is there a right ratio to start off? On no medication. I have selenium yeast 200mcg and kelp 150 mcg of natural iodine from 30mg organic kelp. I know with kelp you have to be careful. Will it be safe to take them both doses to start off with? Or taking the selenium and cutting half of the kelp tablet ? Any suggestions would be so greatly appreciated.

If you eat meat you probably don't have to worry about selenium. I take 3 drops of Lugol's 5% iodine every day. So does my husband. We all need it.

It's going to depend on the person. Some may do fine with less, some need more. The amount he lists is the average.

I need significantly more than the RDA of vitamin C, potassium, & magnesium, and significantly less of iron.
