4:11 More benefits of iodine
In this video, we’re going to discuss iodine function and its many health benefits. The thyroid consumes about 6 milligrams of iodine daily, and the breast tissue consumes about 5 milligrams. The ovaries, brain, eyes, and the lining of your stomach all require significant amounts of iodine.
Iodine is highly antiestrogenic. Estrogen dominance increases the risk of cancer, especially in the breast, ovary, and uterus. Iodine causes cancer cells to self-destruct.
Iodine strengthens the thyroid, which improves your overall health. It also strengthens the immune system and reduces inflammation. Iodine is also vital for a healthy pregnancy.
Iodine is considered a halogen, so other halogens like bromide and fluoride compete with iodine in the body. Increasing your iodine intake can help detox these other halogens.
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.
If you have hyperthyroidism, do not take iodine.
Just because you’re allergic to shellfish does not mean you are allergic to iodine. Goitrogenic foods like cruciferous vegetables and lima beans block iodine-but if you regularly consume sea kelp, it counters any bad effects. High amounts of iodine can be beneficial for respiratory viruses.
Iodine also binds with mercury and aluminum, helping rid the body of toxic metals.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you better understand the function and benefits of iodine. I’ll see you in the next video.
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.
I remember when I was about 14, at my friends, his mum would always give us good information. She specifically mentioned Kelp, seaweed, which contain copious amounts of iodine. She told me it keeps cancer at bay, and kills cancer too. I always listened to her.
The seaweed isn’t always a good source.
@@kayyr.9909
Organic seaweed isn’t a good source?
@@Penka369
Research maybe? I’ve read it’s not a good source if you get it in the USA .
@@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
@@kayyr.9909 Why would seaweed from the Pacific coast be worse, you're spouting nonsense.
Eric Berg lowering the risk for cancer for every video he releses.
Dr Berg is a national treasure. I hope these videos are being backed up in case youtube takes them down one day.
At this point in my very, very healthy 70 year old life, Eric Berg could read me the phone book and I’d listen to him. He’s my hero.
Dr berg is addictive

What's a "phone book"? Like audible?
@@SzechuanChickenDogNot sure if you’re being sarcastic, or you’re just young.
But no worries, I essssplain to you what she means. Phone books are these big phat books about the same size as a massive dictionary or law books.
These phone books used to be a common thing decades ago. They contained the phone numbers to the vast majority of businesses, government services andd, lpeople! Like us. Phone books had peoples house phone #’s listed, everybody.
There was an option though to have your number taken off and be private if you so chose, but majority of people didn’t do that. How else were people supposed to contact each other…? There was no internet during these times like how it is today.
I’m 28, I even remember myself using that big book when I was really young haha. Good times.
😂😂😂
The Iodine Crisis is a book everyone should read.
Dr. Berg= Free Health Insurance. 🌟
I say this all the time lol it's true!!
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 😊
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!
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 !
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
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.
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?
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. 👏👏👏
amen!
He actually cares And not about the pharmaceutical companies
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

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 :)
Started taking iodine drops this week. Glad I did. 😊
Thank you for sharing your knowledge 👍🫡
It was nothing at all.
Thank you and good morning!
You are welcome!
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!!!
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.

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.
Yes iodine in AM is best!
Thankyou Dr Birg. Always good informations! 😊

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!
You are very welcome. Glad I could assist.
How do you safely take iodine with a shellfish allergy?
@@Drberg Question, I had my thyroid removed years ago (hyper) and now on levothyroxine. Is iodine safe for me to take?
Thank you Dr! 🙋💕
My daughter has an underactive thyroid. She has started taking iodine. Gradually building up to 3 drops at night over 3 weeks. 5%lugols. She is feeling the benefit
Thank you for sharing see any significant improvements on TSH & T4 levels?
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.
can you please explain what the lugos is and which brand how you take iodine?
Simply super interesting. Very handy information and tips Dr. 💯
Glad you found it helpful! Always happy to share valuable insights.
We bake bread with non-bromiated flour. I add about 2 drops of iodine to the dough sometimes, and it is amazing how it makes the dough spring up!
Thanks for info
Hello, which Flour you use? Thanks
Can you send me the name of the Flour? Thank you in advance
@@jacquelineferrer9309 I think King Arthur flours are not bromiated.

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
how did you know i was trying to found this information? i must have been watching your vids so long that i am starting to think like u. 😀

Somebody's psychic! lol I was just researching iodine yesterday. @@fidelcatsro6948
This is Dr. Brownstein's protocol, please read his book.

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
That's great!
Bought liquid seaweed years ago..i take it to boost energy..just a bit helps.

I use 75 MG a day. Dr. Brownstein is very knowledgeable about iodine. Use the iodine protocol companion supplements.
Yes and Brownstein says to also take iodine for hyperthyroidism (Graves disease) so this is confusing. Anyone had experience?
@@JJ-jl1ge Read his book, there are a few circumstances where one should not, such a hot thyroid nodule.
isn't the max daily dose of iodine is 1.1 MG ?
@@lm7416 no. Where did you pull that random number out of? A hat?
@@therealjenniferrr out of the hat of NIH

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

I'm glad to help!
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
Great information on iodine. More people need to be aware of its lack of presence in our food. If a person is the ovary body type, what would be the plan on action then? The information says the cruciferous foods mentioned, kale and broccoli, block iodine, yet those are helpful foods in balancing estrogen dominance.
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: ruclips.net/video/bAOm5KBlcS0/видео.html
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.
Thank you Dr Berg : )
Most welcome!
Thank you for your videos Dr, Berg. What is the difference (if any) between Iodine and Iodide? What are symptoms of Iodine deficiency? Is Iodine supplements the same as iodine in the dropper people put on cuts? What would be daily normal maintenance dosage? Love your videos - thanks for sharing
Does dr Berg"s brand cover all we need? Pls advise
Thank you Dr Berg
Are sardines high in iodine ?
Any videos on grounding and earthing ?
Hello. Sorry, we do not have information/ video about this. We will add this to our video suggestion list for now. Thanks.
Dr Berg can you do a video on muscle tension dysphonia?
What do you think of seamoss? Good, bad, in the middle? Side effects? thank you in advance.
If only I had this information many years ago.
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
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
Amazing informative video, Dr Berg. Always love your sarcasm. Thanks ❤😊
Glad to know that you liked this post!
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
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.
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 🙏

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!
Thank you
You're welcome. Thanks for watching the video.
