0:00 Intro
00:30 Your body contains 20 to 25 mg of iodine.
01:11 Iodine is required for a variety of biologic functions
02:00 When you ingest iodine, there is an increase in TSH (thyroid signaling hormone), a pituitary hormone that triggers the increase in production of the TPO enzyme, thyroid peroxidase.
02:52 In T3 and T4, the T sands for tyrosine, an amino acid.
03:22 TPO makes tyrosine and free radicals. You have glutathione peroxidase and other antioxidants in your thyroid gland.
04:30 Neutralizing free radicals is dependent upon selenium.
05:00 If you are going to take high doses of iodine, 12.5 mg or more, increase your selenium intake to 2 to 4 mcg and increase N-acetyl cysteine.
06:30 Iodine is important for cognition and growth, important for children.
07:00 Iodine can be used for water purification.
08:00 If you are vegan, vegetarian, you eat a lot of brassica foods (soy, wheat, millet, cassava) or smoke cigarettes, you are exposed to higher levels of goitrogens.
09:05 Halogens are in your bloodstream from your environment. They antagonize iodine. Swimming in a chlorinated pool displaces iodine in your body. Fluoride is found everywhere in your life, including flame retardants in your clothing and furniture. It accumulates in your fat tissue. Filter your home and drinking water.
12:40 In children, there is substantial evidence that iodine supports IQ, mental acuity.

When iodine was removed from bread and replaced with bromides breast cancer began to skyrocket. Along with thyroid disease. Bromides are -anti-iodine. Iodine is essential for breast health. Read “The Iodine Crisis”. Easy to understand book and info plus resources on support and supplementing iodine. Detoxing bromides.
I used to suffer with very painful breast pain until I heard Dr Christiane Northrup talk about breasts consuming iodine. Now no more breast pain. Magic!
So you don’t take it or you do?
@@doreenalexander1670thanks i was confused too
Doreen take some iodine
Me toooooo!
I'm 66 and my father knew about lugols when I was 4. He put it in the orange juice we drank everyday. He passed away at 89, and took it everyday till his passing. This is not new.
It may not be new to you, but it's certainly been suppressed by the medical profession and we need to know the truth
@@user-rb3zh6sz1b Yeah, it is certainly new to me!
BUT these days many do not know this .....I was a RN for 30 yrs in hospitals and NOT ONCE did I ever see any Dr. bring this up to patients nor did they ever order it while in the hospital. I did homecare too...... never!!! saw it ordered.
It's new to vast majority of ppl
@@paisana9378i recently called the doc to ask if I could have my iodine level checked. She asked me to come in for an office visit then glared at me telling me iodine is in American salt, there are no iodine deficiencies in America ( she’s from India maybe), and basically treated me like an idiot. I am now shopping for a new doctor. The level of ignorance is only made worse by their arrogance backing it up. Maybe they lose their license if they tried to help. It is so weird.
I started taking Lugol's iodine after some abnormal TSH tests. Game changer. I'm not into the theory that 1 thing makes a world of difference, I have found it's usually a confluence of factors or stimuli that yield positive changes in well being, e.g. the world doesn't operaten in isolates. But in this case iodine did, and my brain seemed to work better. Less intrustive thoughts, more relaxed, less fog, better concentration. My .02 cents, Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is WAY too low. The soil has been ruined and "demineralized", and that has wreaked havoc on the whole eco system.
What dosage?
Could you tell us how much you personally took? I’m about to try it but looking for people with actual experience with it
I take 2 to 3 lugol’s drops per day in water, which I believe is approx 12 to 18 mg’s.
Is it 2% iodine?
@davidkehn6960 , If your under 150 lbs, 2 drops lugols or half of 12.5 Iodoral tab twice weekly. If u are over 150 lbs , 4 drops lugols weekly or half of 12.5 Iodoral 4 times weekly. Then gradually build higher If u are sick or have cancer.
My hair started falling out while recovering from a bacterial infection. Drs had no idea how to stop it. One day as I was on YT a Dr mentioned applying one drop of iodine to the skin over the thyroid area for hair loss. Well my hair loss stopped almost immediately. Iodine rocks!.
I started taking omega 3’s my son brought for me bc of cognitive inability after having Covid Long Hauler symptoms, I noticed my hair coming back in around my hair line. My widow’s peak also came bk in. My forehead had been receding and I thought it was bc of my age being In My 60’s. Thought it was from menopause. So the Omega 3 is Vegan bc he’s Vegan. Hope you also see a difference
I'm gonna try that too
Can you put iodine in water and drink. I put it on skin tags
Yes I put mine in water and drink. Lugols 3-4 drops a day. And my son 2drops every other day. He is 12. We are all deficient. Check out David Brownstein he’s been preaching iodine for a while. A few additions to his book now.
@@jessicahanlon1258Skin tags are a sign of a metabolic disorder.
I use 5% lugols topically for everything! Especially the removal of skin tags, strange freckles or age spots and to cleanse and seal a wound.
Are skin tags associated with iodine deficiency?
What is the relation to skin tags? Iodine directly on tags ?? Tia
Would you mind sharing the brand? Thank you!
How many drops per day please?
Where do you find 5% iodine? I can’t find it anywhere.
My psychopathic ex husbands first action on the first meal I cooked for him, was to pick up the salt, iodised salt and pepper and threw them out. Said we don’t use salt, it causes heart attacks. Incorrect, his half wit doctor brother took 10 years to get his medical degree and that family was full of it. I was pregnant I needed salt and iodine. There was no way to get it apart from food. So I made pasta sauce with heaps of olives, so I got salt. And lots of sea food from the markets. Pepper aids nutritional uptake. Salt deficiency causes cramps and heart attacks.
I'm glad that he is now your ex husband. Hope that you and your child are doing well today
I have a vial of salt in my bathroom so I can take some when I wake up with leg cramps.
I know an older lady that the doctor to told her blood pressure was high because of salt, so she stopped eating salt. An ambulance was called because she was having life threatening seizures. The hospital said the seizures started because of an extreme sodium deficiency. She was not an epileptic before this.
I have an ex wife that’s psychotic. She doesn’t take iodine and she’s still psychotic,
If she took iodine she’d still be psychotic. She’s also a real a-hole.
You should set her up with your ex and his brother, and their friends, and their coworkers, and their neighbors.
@@ginoasci2876 thank you for that jolly thought. Glad you understand.
Let me tell you bud, im 62 years old and had been taking a B complex, some iron and a good amt of iodine. Wow! In a matter of days i felt like super woman! Went to the gym and used the bike, treadmill, did calves, leg press, leg curls, triceps and arm curls! Got a little wiped out but i felt good!!
Brazil nuts may or may not be rich in selenium, depending upon the soil in which they are grown.
I just use a selenium supplement, then I don't have to worry about where something was grown. Also, don't have to deal with any anti-nutrients which are high in nuts and seeds since they're baby plants meant to grow adult plants.
@@w1975b I do the same, for just the reasons you called out.
I mean that's true for literally every plant... of course where they're grown can affect the minerals/nutrients in them.. but more often than not they contain a good amount of selenium
Brazil nuts are not commercially grown because they are the biggest tallest tree in the rain forest. It towers above all the other trees and takes many many years to grow. They do not get fertilized or sprayed and are still today collected by hand by the native peoples where they grow. Rain Forest has very little nutrients in the soil as it gets washed away by the rain however the massive root system of this tree go way deep collecting natural minerals from deep down including the one it likes most. Selenium. I come from an area with absolutely no selenium in the soil so all our livestock has to be Supplemented with it and all who know about it take it as it is vital. Over half the people I know here have hypothyroidism as we are also roughly 16 hours drive from the coast and all that iodine rich seafood.
@@juliehambrook4006 Given the very low cost of lugol's iodine, this is an easily avoidable tragedy.
I just realized that too many people have thyroid issues that go undiagnosed and we go about chasing symptoms.
Thyroid issues spiral into digestive issues, reproductive issues and everything in between.
Funny how they use to sell iodized salt but now they don't and everyone has thyroid issues....golly I wonder if there is a connection?!
AMEN AMEN 🎉
@@8675-__iodized salt dissipates and is useless
@@8675-__ It almost seems like they did it on purpose.
As we get older glutathione depleats . Nac is a good way to boost it
During covid19, I studied a lot more about nutrition. I was so tired all the time and couldn’t figure out why. I also wanted to strengthen my immune system. Iodine and selenium was the answer. I eat lots of kale and other greens. Now I’m not freezing cold and getting sick all the time. What a Godsend! Thank you for sharing this.
What brand of Selenium
@@nancyinthegarden3160 I chose the Now brand because it was the best deal that I could find at the time. I don’t like to take pills and Brazil nuts are the best source of selenium. It was harder to get Brazil nuts and so I went to pills. Brazil nuts are very high calorie too.
Iodine keeps me toasty warm in winter, I don't even turn in the heat in my apt.
@@ironrose888, wheat germ on your oatmeal or cereal us a great source of selenium & minerals & vitamins without all the fat.
You may want to look into oxalates next.
I do not consider 12.5 mg a massive dose. From everything I read that is about the average daily amount consumed in most Japanese diets. Thank you for keeping everyone informed about how essential Iodine is for a healthy life.
Agree. I think it's Dr. David Brownstein who talks about his patients taking up to 100 mg or even more (NOT micrograms) daily because they need that much determined by their health issues, including cancer.
@@w1975b I believe he said in one of his books that he takes that much himself every day.
I have been taking 100mg of iodine plus selenium for over a year now. I feel a lot better.
@chavbudgie4299 now reduce it ?
No, I'm doing fine, loads of energy and no snivels.
I take 50 mg iodoral iodine a day. My painful breast cysts are gone!
What is 50mg with the dropper with Lugal?
@@valeriemartini6315 I'm sorry, idk the equivalent. Mine are exact Mg
@@valeriemartini6315 About 50 drops of 2% Lugol solution, according to my calculation.
@@valeriemartini6315 According to J.Crow, each drop of 2% Lugol is 2.5 mg of iodine. So 20 drop will give 50 mg. I posted the wrong value previously.
Thank you for mentioning chlorine. I was in (and out of) chlorinated water 12 hours a day lifeguarding every summer. I bet that’s when my thyroid problems began. I ate like a grain foodie because of poverty and so this lecture really speaks to me. Thank you.
I just recently had to quit swimming for working out because it was affecting my thyroid labs. I was so sad!
Iodine is great for water purification, and potassium iodate is great for preppers to own.
According to hakala labs iodine can displace the bromide which can cause a detoxification reaction with a lot of symptoms: refer to Dr David Brownstein & Lynne Farrow's works .... the detox response can be misunderstood as well, (thought of as a response to the iodine itself vs the bromide dumping).... for details check out their books or podcasts....
Is there a full protocol in these books? I think I am ready to try but podcasts are not enough to know how to do it the right way. I have Hashimoto and will be alone with this.
@@Mo-yj3wf safest way is to contact Hakala labs or Brownstein....plus check out the books..
My ovarian cyst comes back within a month if i stop having iodine. When i order i always order twice!!
Do you need selenium?
Loved this one Mike! I've been drinking Lakewood's biodynamic cranberry juice to get my iodine, and it has helped me tremendously. I also recently learned that iodine is one of the main transporters for hydrochloric acid into the stomach, and since I've been drinking a few ounces of cranberry juice per day, my digestion feels so much better. Keep these videos coming please! Stellar content as always 👏
Thanks Anna. Do you have reflux?
@@ashleytaylor994 I've had it for most of my life, but its been so much more manageable in recent years with diet changes and exercise. I used to struggle with digesting animal proteins (probably because I was taking antacids and prescription PPIs for alot of my childhood), but with the help of HCL capsules and things like pure cranberry juice, I can digest most meats with no issues at all. I hope this helps!
Thanks Mike! Another informative video!
Thanks for doing this subject.

I know of one popular influencer who says it's toxic. Then another says it's safe, then another says it's dangerous, then another says its safe. Not sure who to believe. Your channel is one of the better ones.
I would check out Dr. Brownstein’s book about iodine. He’s used it in so many patients that if it were dangerous he’d be in jail by now! Dr. Elizabeth Bright is also a good resource.
I’ve been upping my dose from 1 drop to 3 or 4 daily and feeling the benefit. (I think)…. 😅. Ive also started taking 500mg NAC daily. All I know is I’m a healthy F, 71yo who breezed through Covid-un vaxxed. I was vegetarian for years but now eat a LOT of animal protein.
I'd say if operating room personnel pour betadine liberally all over the body, prior to surgery and there's no concern for toxicity, we can use much higher doses of iodine! Middle Tennessee Rita ❤
You can also look up Dr Ed Group on here. He explains it very well also. Nascent Iodine is a life changer. And I was relatively healthy before I started taking it. If I could only have 1 supplement for the rest of my life, it would be Nascent Iodine.
Good explanation
Very interesting. Thank you.
Wow this is right on Time....💣💥👍🏾
Amazing 😍! Thank you!
Thanks Mike!
Thank you! I learned something I needed to know!
Hello mahria
Hey thank you. Love your info

Hello Christina
Tyrosine is one if my favorite aminos. I only knew it made dopamine, not t4. Iodine should be the 1st lever to pull. It's so inexpensive and beneficial.
It's also abundant in red meat.
So what are u saying here, thanku😅
Your information is always so helpful!
Great info Mike, what about kelp? I have a salt shaker on the dinner table full of dried ground up kelp and have a little bit daily
Thanks Mike!! 😊
Good information!
Hello Sharon
Thanks mike!
Fantastic breakdown. Yahweh bless you and your family.
Thank you Mike.
Thank you from Seattle
A good explanation
Tank you this is great!
Thank you for this Mike!! My doctor said to add 250mcg to my water and take some Brazil nuts, but I didn’t understand why. Thanks for your precision!!
Great video thank you
Great content
great video thankyou ❤
Thank you!
I am a huge fan of supplemental iodine. However you do need to be mindful that it not only acts as an aromatase inhibitor and it upregulates the expression of certain CYP450 genes that metabolize certain estrogens. This can cause you to be lower in estrogen than you should be. Also, iodine helps the lymphatic system in amazing ways!
I can vouch for this...my water weight dropped in a matter of days. I no longer looked bloated or had water retention. Estrogen definitely reduced.
I've had symptoms of estrogen dominance for years, so maybe the iodine being an aromatase inhibitor, etc is beneficial for me. I know I've read that it's anti-cancer, and I know for myself that it makes ovarian cysts go away and stay away. Other benefits - regular period cycle, lighter and shorter. Dr. Jorge Flechas spoke about these benefits for his female patients. He also stated how iodine helped at least one diabetic female patient who had blood sugar of about 1,000 (not a typo) and was currently taking insulin.
I use Lugol's 5% and take selenium. NOT giving advice on dose or anything.
Curious how HRT and iodine supplement would work? I'm assuming the iodine would help estrogen detox through the correct/healthy prefereed pathway (2) versus versus 4 & 16
Do you think 12.5 via supplement is safe? I have tennants iodine plus, really want to use it
Great video
Perfect! Thanks
Back to re watch :) . Fav counter top water filter?
I take iodine daily as I WAS hypothyroid with a nodular goiter. I also eat food (MEAT/SEAFOOD) rich in both to ensure I get what I need. Love learning the sciencey stuff regarding health 💕
Did the iodine help you?
@@ashleytaylor994 would like to know too I have a very small one cannot by looking at the throat, but was seen on an ultrasound.
Just don't eat animals or dirty seafood. Our oceans, lakes, rivers, streams are dirty, polluted sewers!
what dosage?
@@jgrysiak6566why not animals?
Thank you for explaining this so well! Wish I had known this having my children. Had to trust doctors in the 89’s - 90’s.
Thank you.
Crazy informative! Thank you so much Mike!
Thank You ever so much!
Awesome Video, thank you! Can we have the information regarding the water filter? How do we contact you for consultation?
