When I started Carnivore I found out that I can eat SALT again (CHF diagnosis) I cannot explain it, but when I eat strict carnivore based diet, I can enjoy salt on my food and have ZERO swelling as opposed to when I eat carbs/processed foods!

[@HappilyCarnivore]

Before carnivore I did okay with table salt and pink salt, but I would swell up anything I used sea salt. I have no idea why that would be, and I'm aware it doesn't make any sense, but I tried it enough to be certain. I haven't tried sea salt since being carnivore, but your comment makes me think I should give it a go. Maybe it doesn't make me swell anymore.

[@CookingwithRegina]

@ Hi! You should try the Sea Salt again! Since you’re eating a carnivore based diet, you might be able to enjoy sea salt again! What kind of salt do you use? I’d love to try the Redmond’s Salt that I’ve heard so many great things about! How are you liking carnivore? How long have you been on carnivore? It’s amazing at healing the body In my experience!

[@CookingwithRegina]

@ … also, what I cannot figure out, is sometimes I will add some fresh veggies low carb, to my carnivore plate, but every time I do, I find that I cannot tolerate the salt! Only when I eat strict carnivore can I enjoy some salt! So weird! I’m learning to decrease salt if/when I eat vegetables.

[@HappilyCarnivore]

@@CookingwithRegina I use Himalayan pink salt. I tried Redmond's salt but I wasn't a fan. It was expensive, and it had a lot of sand or dirt in it. I ended up only using it in the water I boiled my eggs in. I love carnivore. It basically saved my life. I've been carnivore for 3 1/2 years now.

I'm in my 70's and have had an enlarged thyroid gland since my 20's. Every time I went to a doctor they sort of freaked out and had a thyroid panel done. I tell them that it will be normal and it always is. It seems to run in the family since my younger sister also had the same thing, except she had better insurance so her doctor took it out, only to find that there was nothing wrong with it. A while back I used only uniodized salt for about two years because someone gave me a case of it. My thyroid got much larger. I switched back to iodized and my thyroid is back to it's normal large size.

Wow. Thanks. I've had breakouts, hadn't had since teenager...maybe detoxing..thanks for heads up

[@c_b5060]

The "detoxing" is actually Bromine shedding. With insufficient iodine, your cells take up bromine. Bromine is present in some breads, fire retardant fabric, and in some of the chemical that farmers spray on their crops. When your cells finally get some iodine, they release the Bromine which causes an unusual order in your pee. My Bromine shedding lasted about 4 - 6 weeks.

Thank you for addressing this subject. I DO buy iodized salt for cooking and table. My family has resided in a portion of the “goiter belt” (the Blue Ridge mountains) since colonial times. I am in my 70’s. My grandmother died of a goiter before they discovered the cause and need for iodine in the diet (1930’s?). It is my understanding seafood can provide the iodine as well. Of course they had only fresh fish in the mountains, which they had plenty of. I already knew about the lack of iodine in purchased salty foods. I didn’t know about the best storage of salt, but have always kept supplies in a dark cabinet. I will change to a sealed storage solution. It is my understanding that people who eat saltwater fish, etc, get ample iodine, hence the boundaries of the goiter belt explained. Thanks so much for spreading the word on iodine!!

I buy dulse (seaweed) flakes for my husband who is on a vegan diet that doesn’t allow salt, so that he gets his iodine. But I prefer Morton’s on my ribeye!

[@jlbrown2622]

Are there any negative or side effects from taking too much iodine?

[@jamesmiller5939]

As a teenager I had a doctor tell me my allergic reaction after eating fresh fish/seafood, was because of the iodine. My grandmother and I both thought he was full of crap because of the iodine in foods and we used iodine treatments on the ranch for injured animals, so we came in contact with iodine often. I thought is was the fish, fish oils, the way it was prepared or something added to it that my body reacted to.

[@TheyStoleMyHandleAgain]

What about the validity of the "test" of putting some iodine on our skin to see if it is quickly absorbed.

[@russellgallman7566]

Good points to know. Many thanks!!

[@oliviaspence1988]

I Had a goiter and my doc just wanted to take it out. I did not want to lose it. I decided to buy iodized salt again..good old umbrella girl salt.🤭. My thyroid shrank back to normal in less than a month. Now my big problem is tinnitus & when I sprinkle salt on my food it gets so much louder. SO what I do is what Dr Ken says. I take 3-4 drops Iodine daily. I put it in my last few sips of coffee & chug it down. Thyroid is quite happy.

[@jeromehenry4484]

Regarding tinnitus, mine gets louder when taking certain antibiotics. It will go back down to normal volume, but it's usually a few weeks after finishing antibiotics.

[@carlasade1260]

What about for those of us that DON'T have a thyroid due to thyroid cancer?

[@dyingfromthelying]

If federal guidelines recommend it, I'm out.

[@joefw2446]

Thanks. I take 2% Lugols every day!

[@reelcowboys]

I didn't throw it out because it's good to clean when you want something abrasive, like on cast iron or the tub.

[@juliemarr65]

I only use the cheap table salt in my laundry powder recipe Thank you for the other hints😊

[@syoung4471]

I was told I was allergic to iodine when I was a kid. I went into anaphylactic shock eating lobster tail. My grandmother also used mercurochrome on a wound and it swelled my arm up. I've avoided iodine because of this. I was also used to a low salt diet, so I've never been a big salt person anyway. Earlier this it was suggested I take an iodine supplement. I got the Mary Ruth's liquid. Well, I misread the instructions and thought it meant 2 droppers full instead of actually 2 drops. I ended up taking 50x the recommended dose daily for 2 weeks before I figured out what I did ( went to reorder and it said it was supposed to last 18 months). Honestly it's the best I've felt in years. I cut back to half a dropper. I still felt better taking the more extreme amount daily. I wish I would have known this years ago.

[@CherylNasser]

Use it for ice during winter. Otherwise don't use it. Have high blood pressure, but low salt diet didnt help. However, to much cofffee seems to drive crazy.

[@tthomestead2763]

I take one dropper full of Lugols iodine every day for thyroid and I have fewer issues with symptoms from hypothyroidism and hot flashes have definitely gone down.

[@niamhmckinney4027]

How much of 2% iodine per day should I take?

[@scottheaslet2217]

Only a few, everybody is different

Hi, Dr. Berry, this is off topic for this video, but I just came across a new study on meat consumption and hoped to get your take on it. I've been watching/studying/thinking about starting the carnivore diet (not sure I can eat that way long term, but also don't want to die young, so... pondering), but then studies like this one give me pause, especially since the number of participants in the study was so huge. I know big food and big pharma have infiltrated the colleges and everywhere else, but this was still a gigantic (overall) group of studies analyzed by researchers at the University of Cambridge: 1.97 MILLION participants total out of 31 study cohorts in 20 countries found that consuming just 50 grams of processed meat a day was associated with a 15% increased risk in developing type 2 diabetes, and 100 grams of unprocessed red meat a day was associated with a 10% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes over ten years. They say they accounted for factors such as age, gender, health-related behaviors, energy intake, and body mass index. I suppose it could be more related to what else the participants were eating during that time versus being carnivore-only, but if you could weigh in on this, I'd love to hear your opinion. Thanks!

[@sandrad518]

I haven't seen an iodized salt that doesn't also have anti caking agents. I'll stick with sea salt, foods and iodine liquid.

[@MaryBagley-t4t]

I am a 1 year carnivore when I started carnivore on Jan 9 2023 I couldn't stand salt on my meat it would feel like it was Bruning my Mouth. I kept seeing everyone saying use the Element drink I couldn't do it . 1 year later I have been craving salt putting salt on everything started drinking the unflavored element question why did it take my body a year to accept salt?

[@jstreutker]

You have two copies of Yamada's Textbook of Gastroenterology in your bookcase!

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

Redmonds Real Salt has changed me forever. Found it thru this channel and will never go back to ordinary salt.

[@royjohnson465]

I did research and I feel Redmond Real Salt is the best salt on the market, better than Himalayan Pink Salt and better than Celtic Sea Salt, etc..

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

@royjohnson465 i agree and all the elements are left intact.

[@RalfyCustoms]

Yup Redmonds for me, love the stuff, have it on everything I eat

[@Person333free]

Have you seen the amount of heavy metals in the salt w your research?

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

@RalfyCustoms absolutely. Ruined me for other salt. 😛

[@AmyPetrich]

Id like to see a colab with Dr Elizabeth Bright & you Dr. Berry

[@aoksys31]

Dr. Mercola recently published an article allegedly pointing to iodine overdosing from everything everywhere as a cause of chronic illness. Hmmm ..

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

Lugoe's drops from ebay and Himalayan salt. Lowers Bood pressure , reduces swelling.

[@robertp9297]

@DrBerry - Thanks again, for sharing such beneficial information !

[@vickiehall2439]

Lugol’s 2% Sol. Taking 5-7 drops a day! Feeling great!

[@AncientLemomTree]

I feel bougie cause the salt that I’ve been eating for the past 10 years has been salt harvested by my neighbor from the Mediterranean Sea in front of my family’s vacation home in greece. It’s delicious, I can’t live without it.

[@jeannedigennaro6484]

But includes plastic particles.

I use a sea salt with added iodine. It is from Seasonello from the Sardinian Sea. My holistic doctor recommended it.

[@KenDBerryMD]

It is sublimating

[@Freeformrockart]

I started using LMNT regularly…I’m 2 months in to carnivore. My blood sugar had regulated well. Been feeling crappy again so I tested…and it’s back up around 120….disappointing….don’t think it’s from the maltodextrin in the LMNT. I drink 3 packs a day and yesterday was on a 36 hr fast with nothing but LMNT and coffee….and I was high this morn. In reading about maltodextrin it states it can spike blood glucose. Have you seen this effect with that product?

[@JaneGardner-gr9ro]

Lugol's lady here😊

[@tb6303]

Good video. Thanks.

[@keres993]

What do you recommend for someone with a toxic thyroid nodule? Iodine is needed, but too much iodine = thyrotoxicosis. Maybe slowly push iodine intake higher and higher as long as thyrotoxicosis is not encountered? Thank you!

[@cece3194]

Dab a drop of iodine on your arms or wrist. If its gone within an hour, you need more. I learned from Dr Barber O'Neill. Shes an awesome doc too❤
